Sounds like it needs a 1.8t engine and box fitted

I’ll take £25k for mine. Much less than a million quid 👍😜

I was changing an exhaust under an old corsa many moons ago. The centre section was being particularly difficult and fought me coming off. It eventually “popped” off surprising me and cracked me right in the eye. Next morning I woke up with a cracking black eye which was great as I was attending a wedding of which I was part of the wedding party 🤣 Also, not quite working on a car but working in my garage on a push bike 2 months ago I managed to burst a hand held blow torch causing it to explode and produce a jet of flame which burnt my arms and full face. That REALLY hurt and initiated a hospital visit and many weeks off work. Luckily skin heals amazing well and I’m kind of back to normal!

This looks mint 😳

@Cookiesouwest- Thank you! You have pm 👍

Where did you pick up new centre caps from? My mk4 needs new ones and I was concerned eBay jobs would be cheap rubbish

Is yours the petrol and has two exhausts standard? My racing diseasel comes with just the one

Any idea if the diesel for vehicles airside is dyed purple? Many years ago I bought a golf diesel from an airport fireman and the fuel filter was stained purple 🤣

Aye, that’s deffo an eco wreck and not a redtop

Or some dpf cleaning fluid and an afternoon of jet washing it out?

Or on the back of a low loader/recovery truck 🤣

If you do fix the sills and want some mudflaps. I think I have a brand new set sitting in the garage I could be encouraged to sell cheaply…

Brilliant car. I loved mine and would gladly have another. Re timing chain - These have a timing belt however the cams are linked with a small chain on the pass side. The tensioner for it fails and causes engine borkness. They tick before they die. Worthwhile watching for. If you don’t have kids buy a pack of baby wipes for the white bits of the seats. I found they clean them really well and quickly as stops them getting grubby again over time. The sills on these get hit with stone chips and rust for fun. I grinder mine right back, vatcan, stone chip then repainted then the correct colour. I bought a cheap set of oem mudflaps from Ali express or eBay. They fit really well and protect the sill for the future and look totally oem. Get it remapped!

Thankfully the filter in mine is under the bonnet - yay

Mines a racing 2.0 spec

Nothing exciting but ordered the mondeo a full service kit and the monroe rear shocks are sitting waiting to go on. Exciting times 🤣 Not bad tho, 6 litres of decent oil and oil, air and fuel filters for £46 delivered. Ford recommend fuel and air filters every 40k and oil every 12.5k. I’m about right for the oil but I’m doing fuel and air at 20k

It’s a bmw colour “Ferric grey” or something. Either way it looks nice. These wheels had been powder coated previously and it was flaking off and looking less than ideal. cheers 👍

Funnily enough. I’ve just had the wheels on mine powder coated
