    Thanks Portent :salute:

     

    Lots of usefull info there, can i ask what year and mileage yours has done ?, just so i can compare it to what im looking at

     

    "averages near 30mpg" doesn't sound too good tho, i have been expecting something more on par with a 12v, low to mid 30's

     

    But overall a positive experience and reliable which is good to hear, one thing i don't want to happen is for a daily to end up diverting funds away from the corrado and other projects

     

    Thanks for the offer of letting me take a look at yours, unfortunately i wouldn't be insured

    So ive decided that i need a new daily and a 4mo seems to tick quite a few boxes

     

    Ive seen a couple that i like the look of and will be going to have a look at them early next week

     

    Any weak points or problems i should be aware of ? what are they like to live with ?

     

    Thanks, Steve

    Well it No. 3 thats missing now....

     

    Ive got a spark and the plug is getting quite wet, compression is also good, but still not running right, could it be overfilling / injector problem ?

    If hes problem is the proximity of the trees and you have highly shrinkable clay then removing the hedge wont make a difference, no

     

    The problem being that the hedge will be taking water out of the ground and removal will stop this, you could then find the additional water within the clay will result it in swelling and heave, so you basically have the same 'shrinkable clay' problem but in reverse

     

    Who is acting as building control ? you local authority ? Ive seen people nominate other local authorities to act as their building control because there more reasonable!

     

    but others have said its just down to negotiation, you could employ a structural engineer to put you argument forward, building 7m away seems a fairly safe distance to me (but im civils not structural) and if your neighbors have had theres standing without problems you might be able to come up with a good case, doing that will delay the build and come with its own costs tho...

    Ive lost the spark to cylinder 1, the leads had seen better days so I replaced them all with OEM reds and changed the plugs for good measure too.

     

    But I still have no spark :scratch:

     

    When changing the plugs and leads I ended up having to remove the inlet mani to get better access as one of the leads broke up when I tried to remove it (even with a removal tool) I noticed that my coil pack has a two hair-line cracks in the case

    I'm guessing that a new coil pack is needed?

     

    Just looking for reinsurance before bending over at VW.... :(

     

    Thanks

    I've serviced it with platinum plugs and all vw parts.... tucked it up out the way in the workshop and it's been sat there ever since.

     

    Only 3 former keepers

    I think I've got every MOT from new...

     

    Full magnet exhaust with decat....

    Drives fantastic...

    Everything works as it should.

    Hid Kit fitted

     

    Little bit on tlc on body work and it's a nice classic.

     

    Just an opportunity for someone with the time to finish it off... otherwise I'll keep it in the workshop until I get the time to finish it off

     

    No tax or Mot but I see no reason for it not to pass...

     

    For a very quick no hassle sale.... I'll take £1650 for it

     

    For this week only, I'll take a decent cash offer otherwise..... im keeping it.
