    New Motor

    Wahey, my first car....at last!

    It's a 1997(P) mk3 VW Golf CL, 1.6, 130000 miles....bodywork is in mint condition, has full service history...generally very good nick all round! Cost me £1000! Quite a pickup.

    beware of water pump failure as well as ignition switch failure. Very common in golf/polo models of that range of year.

    Other than that... nice :up:

    Aye, alot of it is proper VWSH aswell.

    Timing Belt was changed 10k miles ago, spark plugs changed 4k miles ago, new air filter & oil filter at the same time

    It's been well maintained like!

    Cheers for the tip Dave, I need to go see VW about getting the central locking sorted so I can mention that then!

    :D

    Do I live there?

    No - but I live just along the road from there in Abbey Farm.

    Those kits are awful! But as Lulu says, there are some really nice kits.

    Personally I think the VW parts are the nicest especially on the mk4/mk5!

    Had a few teething problems with the car, suspension needs replacing, exhaust is blown and the battery is flat :oops:

    Will all be sorted by next week and running 35mm lower :D
