Well i will be bothered hahah..but atleast i can still get around while its being put right.

will be everyday car but i dont do that many miles and i can take my grandads polo out anytime i want as he does 2miles a week in it. so the rado will probably end up being used for weekends :-)

Yea true mate, hes only local so i could take it back to where he went with the fail sheet but its seeming like a lot of hassle to maybe save a few quid.

He had the offside front tyre swapped other week and was getting this one done when he got paid. its not legal thats for sure lol calipers and pads are just under £100 from a mate at euro car parts. then like u say still need a tyre and mot. so its easier to let him do it.

Yea thats what im wondering..i just wanted to pick it up too excited hahaha. got a mate who works at c&r enterprises who could probably sort rear brakes for beer tokens but not knowing what exactly is wrong with them makes me think let him do em..i can get rear calipers for £35 + vat each.

ahh i see, but i presume when he books it in for mot theyre just gunna do their stuff and free em off to pass anyway lol. and it has 17" tyres..not sure on profile but i would say maybe 40. so u think its just cheaper to let him sort? iam tempted but at moment hand brake is useless almost.

Just got txt off the rado owner, hes sticking 12 months mot on it for me..it failed on one front tyre, front pads and the hand brake..as he left it on while its been sat in garage. offered it me for £1800 the way it is or 2k fixed. was wondering how much these things would cost to sort really. as if its worth getting for 1800 i will just take it straight to a garage for a new tyre, buy some pads fit em and take it for rear brakes sorted.. what do you guys think? its only mot'd till may 7th i think

I have GOTTA get me one of those :-D

Yea i noticed lol Oh one other thing..shift changes were like butter :-D Steering was quite heavy..but coming from my old powersteering car that would swap lanes if u coughed on the wheel im not suprised.

I'm picking it up at the weekend 8) got it for 2k and was very happy doing so. so much for not rushing to get one lol http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1

Just been to view the red rado on ebay in south yorks. Guy seemed really genuine so had a long chat about it..full vw service history, bags of reciepts for various stuff, reciepts for jabba service on charger (didnt notice buut may have been r1) these were done in 2003 and since then the car has covered approx 18k. Its had a full respray and looks immaculate, all underneath is undersealed..looked for signs of welding but couldnt see any so if its been done its done well. i noticed a reciept from springs and shocks too. On the test drive the car pulled like a train with no hesitation and stopped well with no brake judder. all electrics work well. even the drivers seat bolster was good. it has a milltek exhaust on and this may be related but the only problem i noticed was in 2nd gear there was a slight vibration in the passenger footwell area. disapeared as soon as it came. so may have been the exhaust catching a little. It needs a new tyre and rear brakes are seized as he left it in garage with handbrake on but hes booked it in for mot tomoz morning and is getting both jobs sorted. other than a crack in the offside headlight lens it was fine.

new toureg? or however its spelt. Slam it and i will take 1 :-)

203.9 miles from here..finding a lift to view is more of a pain than anything else..2 mates already panicked about distance and backed out lol. :-)

Just didn't fancy a god awful train journey to end up disapointed..i think my standards are higher than the cash i have at the minute with most of the rado's i have seen.

Yea saw that but i'm in sheffied so it might aswell be in another country. :-(

Yea the bhp doesn't interest me too much as i would have thought it would be more like 175/180bhp. but aslong as its straight and clean iam happy. With is only having an m.o.t recently i would have thought it was deemed road worthy anyway but i will look. I read about rust on the front cross member behind the bumper, is this a lay on ur back job to see or can u view potential problems from inside the engine bay?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... otohosting Its that one, I've arranged a viewing. apparently..charger sorted 13k ago along with smaller pulley and chip at jabba. no oil leaks no oil/water loss. regular servicing. Reciepts for most things and especially charger.

If a cars been looked after would 148k be a problem on a g60?

The main difference is the g60 has a supercharger bolted to it matey Have a read mate> http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.p ... rrado_Info

Hiya matey, I like the Sig pic..thats a nice polo saloon GT in the background 8) Cheers for the welcome Therapor.

Hiya guys, I was told to sign up by G60greeny form southyorkshiredubs.co.uk as i'm currently on the lookout for a g60 rado. theres some great looking examples for sale but i'm not that flush..a couple of grand is my limit im afraid :-( Anyway i'm sure i will be reading all the relevent posts for the next few hours.
