Kiltox Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Had a FTP in the Golf yesterday.... because I'm a fucking idiot and didn't put fuel in it! No warning light on the mk3 Golf it turns out First thoughts were that the cambelt had snapped or something similarly terminal so I'm going to use this opportunity to do all of the work I've been putting off before something does go wrong!

The Moog Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Had a FTP in the Golf yesterday.... because I'm a fucking idiot and didn't put fuel in it! Could be worse. My dad ran out of petrol in his metro and sent me to get some petrol can in hand, apart from I had on my Wonderstuff T-shirt with IDIOT on the front.

Kiltox Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 No mad rush Nutz - I'm planning to be out of my unit by April when my Duster is delivered. I'd like to start thinning stuff down soon though. Too much pressure to pay expensive rent on the space I use and not enough time to bring money in selling slightly less shite to fund my adventures.

Kiltox Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Let me dig out the cables and software but yeah that should be fine! Are you travelling far because I can't see it being much more than £7 to post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 206k miles, 1.9dci 6 speed manual SWB low roof Rough running due to a dodgy crank sensor (cleaning it 4K ago sorted it but it probably wants changing). Engine, turbo, box are great and I seriously doubt original. Engine is a bit oily, couple of leaks but it's not pissing everywhere. Roof is leaky. £500 as it sits.

Kiltox Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 New crank sensor has sorted the van right out (I've been voluntold to move some stuff later today so needed to sort it) Still for sale but for a little more cash. anonymous user 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 New fleet member - ex Hooli Laguna II Weird metallic beige-green - a giffer favourite I'm sure. Rear bushes are banging like a goodun and the rear doors don't open. Engine and gearbox are strong although I suspect the dephaser is kippered.
