I wouldn’t mind being considered please, been looking for a project for my son to help with.

Wonder who has it now then?

Had you a price in mind for the spoonfed?

Yes it’s a VR, ordered the “TwoWinds” from Amazon. It was about £69 and seems ok for the money

Refurbished BOSCH, apparently....

Just as an update, after some fault finding back at home as the garage were claiming a £4500 engine rebuild it turned out the MAF I’d replaced was also faulty. Now runs better than it has in years!

Holy thread resurrection but do you still do these?

Fitted a new foliage filter, realised the clips missing and has been the source of the water leak! Next up, new Maf

Has anyone got the late plug and some of the loom so I can piece it in if needed? Thanks

It's got a decat, worth a mention re objects in the exhaust though.

Thanks all, waiting a call back so I can ask what they've actually checked up to now. I'm dubious about it being the chain.

Symptoms were refusing to idle as kept cutting out unless you kept your foot on the gas and misfiring. So far I've changed changed the coolant temp sensor, tried a different MAF and coilpack. Scanned and it initially threw a Lambda fault code which didn't come back. The usual cam position fault is the only other thing and that's been checked. We've drained the tank in case of off fuel which it wasn't and a new Lambda fitted. Cars at the garage so I can't get any pics, I'll ring them tomorrow to find what they've done comprehensively. Plugs and leads are certainly no more than perhaps 1500 miles old however it had been sat.

Hi all, So far the VR has been in the garage being "fault found" for almost three weeks. We've had the Lambda replaced which hasn't solved the issue and now the garage are suggesting changing the timing chain as they consider this to be the reason for the rough running. Symptoms are rough idle / missfire so it sounds like a tractor and makes driving impossible. Thoughts on this from anyone more technical please as I didn't consider this would be the fault. Thanks

Holy thread resurrection Bat man! Well after almost two years sat in a dusty unit with the occasional rough start up we finally got our backsides in gear and booked her in to have the rough running sorted. Trailered the old girl from storage to the garage last weekend. Lambda sensor replaced at the weekend after a weeks worth of fault finding at the garage, so just waiting for the call to say she's running right now. MOT started and highlighted a couple of issues which included a few bushes and a gaiter so pretty happy with that considering she's sat for so long. Sadly the length of time its taken the garage this last week meant I had to cancel the appointment with the detailer and miss Awesome-GTI's Summer bash but not to worry we are on the right track. Couple pics for attention purposes.

How bad is the crack in the rear centre lights?
