    I had both cat D and cat C cars. All depends where was the damage and more important how it was repaired, especially cat C cars.

     

    Honestly, cat D - I would go for that if price is cheap. Cat C - I'd only go for it after very good checks on the ramp because mine wasn't repaired to good standard and somehow it passed through VOSA checks with crocked frame. Cat c is usually good to brake it on parts as I tripled my money breaking it after finding that chassis was not straight.

    Which Evo though?

     

     

    I would go for Evo 6 again :) Its a brutal power, not really comfortable car but for less that 8k you can get really fast and nice car, or you can buy a project car for 4-5k.

    Yes the millage is correct, the car has been off the road since it was purchased off you, I have all the previous MOTs to back it up. The car was taken from Aberdeen to leuchars then norfolk and taken off the road as a project. Millage now stands at 149,661. I find it very frustrating when people jump to conclusions as it even states in the Ad it has been off the road for a number of years.

     

     

    That's fine mate. If you can prove the mileage its very good.

     

    I never accused you of changing it, it was just very low mileage rise.

     

    BTW. I'm not going to remove this post as you asked me in PM. If mods feel like it should be deleted, please feel free do do so.

    Looks nice but the only think I would double check before buying it is the mileage. I don't want to put seller in trouble but I still got a pictures of the car from my sale advert and in 18/04/2009 car had exactly 148948 miles. Now it has Mileage: 149,000 and it took me few good months to sell the car and I've been using it every day. I've seen it few times then as a buyer was a local guy so if it says exactly 149k miles somebody had to mess with it.

     

    When I had it

    Car is on the road now :)

     

    Driven it for the first time today, and driven it quiet hard. I need to admit that I'm well impresses with AP coilovers, they do job quiet well and are not to hard or crunchy.

     

    Fixed my new PCV valve and not cracked s shaped pipe as well. Seems like it fixed my stalling problem as all old bits were well cracked. Plugged cat to vagcom today and no faults at all.

     

    Still have few minor issues:

    - Brakes not catching at same strength during very hard braking and car seems to go sideways a bit, discs looks brand new, same as pads and I bet I need to think about buying 4 new calipers, plan is to put new mk4 rear calipers and maybe new 312mm fronts but that need to go with new discs as well.

    - Radiator fans doesn't work and one of the previous owners fitted a switch beside steering wheel slowing switching them on and off. I believe they work then on 3rd speed and they are very loud then. Need to have a look at replacing all temperature switches and fan switch as well but can live with it so far.

    - Sunroof doesn't work and electric mirrors as well but I knew about it before I bought it so will fix it at some point as well.

    - There is a different light switch, fits and work perfectly, just looks different, already got a replacement, just need fitting.

     

    Other that that car drives fine and I'm happy with it. Already bought a new set of 17" wheels for it but update with pictures will be within next couple of months.
