bristolbaron 10 Posted November 6, 2010 I've just got off the phone to my best mate who's a mechanic and has done most of the work on my Rado's. He's always given me grief about the amount of work they need and built up a general dislike for them, always saying I should buy something newer/faster or more reliable. I've just bought an 8v daily which needed a new front wishbone. He fitted that and the next day there was still a knocking noise from the front. I left it with him to diagnose and he's said it needs a driveshaft. He then went on to say he's been driving the car over the past few days and completely fallen in love with it! He's amazed how smooth it is, how well it drives and said he went out to it this morning and he thought it looked amazing! I still can;t quite believe we really just had that conversation. He's cancelled his plan to buy a mk4 tdi in the new year and will be on the look out for a Rado instead. His Mrs loves it as well so he's even got the green light from her.. thats if I ever get my 8v back.. :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
