How much did you sell it for compared to its value now? VAG diesels are highly sought after, it might be worth looking at prices of similar cars currently for sale. I'm glad you now appear to have the upper hand, be ready for another payment offer and reject it straight away, I'd take the car back if it was offered to me in these circumstances......................

If you take one of these apart there construction is cheap and nasty (light weight gives the game away), its better to renew the car battery early and have your car reliable and flog your old battery for scrap (£400 per tonne for lead - I got £40 for 6 batteries recently) or ebay it

There is no theft in the eyes of the law, the keys, car and V5 were given freely, its a civil debt as the car has not been paid for in full - whether this can be proved is uncertain. Scummer is taking the ****, what is needed is to give him a wake up call to get this debt to the top of the pile and be a priority. Any decent HR depts door should always be open for problems in the workplace........ Fight dirty with both hands firmly in your pockets as slapping the scummer in the face will most likely end up with OP being in more trouble than the scummer.

I spent 8 years of my life debt collecting, give them an inch and they'll take a mile, if he takes the scummer to court he still may never get his money back. Get the car back and sell it again would be the simplest solution to this problem. ---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ---------- If you both work for the same company then I'd also make your HR department aware there is a problem between staff members and the reason why, not only would this lead to the scummer to know you're serious about recovering your money it puts him on the back foot not knowing what you're going to do next. You may well think its nothing to do with work, but if you didn't work together you'd never have taken him at his word and if he pushes you to your limits and you snap and grab the scummer by his throat it will be on record you have reported an issue previously. A quiet word from HR might get the ball rolling. These people are in every street and every workplace in the country, robbing Peter to pay Paul is a way of life - nothing to do with the recession or the current climate, its how they roll........................... Others who work with the both of you may well have been ripped off too?

His name may be on the V5 but as he's not made any payment the car is still yours. I'd go and get the car from him, don't be fobbed off with promisses of payment, just take the keys and drive the car to a safe hiding place

I've located one now , sorry to trouble you

I'm looking for one with the same part number with an E on the end?

Buyers fees earlier this year at BCA

I've had the same earlier

I only said to put her as named driver, no mention of letting her drive the car........

If there's a female driver in the house with a good driving record make sure they're named on your policy as it actually reduces the premium...........

Fair enough, I've found problems with brakes on the last 4 cars I've bought (people I know in the trade find horrendous bodges all the time), pads seized in carriers, friction material falling off the metal backing, anti squeel shims missing, some pro serviced, some owner fitted, some unknown. I check any new car to me over asap, brakes, suspension and steering, it gives peace of mind and an opertunity to source parts before they're needed. Not seen the thread

So you've not bothered to give a car new to you (a modified one at that) nearly 20 years old a look over in 7 weeks?

So how long have you owned the car?

Whats wrong with your lights? There was a thread here about changing the bulb inside the light unit, it worked for me. You can buy the bulbs from RS spares, but have to buy a minimum of 10

6 speed gearbox too................

And up for sale http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-2-9-VR6-3D-188-BHP-/251166376966?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a7aaec406

No problem with me, your item, he got in first ;)

I've lost out on items before when "PMd" appears and some random question asked only for others to jump in after.............. Never mind ;)

That doesn't tell the rest of us anything - are you buying it or arranging a dinner date? I'll have it if its not taken?

http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/tax-havens-tax-hells-163631617.html Anyone who becomes abusive during a discussion does so because they're losing the arguement and are clutching at straws trying to bully the oposition into submission. If you are on £45K then really you shouldn't be crying "poor me", others are managing on far less. If I win the lotto on saturday I'll still be UK based

Flip side of the coin, if you broke it you'd learn new skills to help you keep the VR6 on the road, a real hands onguide as to how a car works.

I enquired about screens for MK4 Golf / Bora around 12 months ago and was told no plans to make them. CGTi tried a group buy several years ago and failed. Is the price a fitted price? Would they supply and fit if not?

They're called festoon bulbs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3286.m570.l1313&_nkw=festoon+bulb&_sacat=0&_from=R40

£1350 plus fees, bought by trade so fees will be less than I'd pay as private
