******!!!!NOW FOR ROOFFFFLLLLEEEZZZ!!!!*****

 

£1 a tickets!

 

Never pay a taxi fare again!!

 

 

Anyone want this genuine GLF club stalwart?

MOT'd til 15/12/15

193k miles

4 decent tyres

Golf Gti interior

Runs well on WVO at 35p/litre and returns 55-60mpg.

6cd changer.

Can be supplied with "glf spec" engine map, and a walk through on how to tune. Currently runs mid 16 sec 1/4 miles

issues:

Drawing air into fuel lines. will start and drive but not great- I've tried new filters/ o rings etc to no avail.

All 4 dampers are ropey

Exhaust needs reconnected/welded

Brakes could do with a bleed.


Its no stunner, but with a bit of spanner action it'll no doubt potter on for another year.

£100

ANYONE WANT THIS?

 

will be getting scrapped pdq. I have spares that can go with it for a small sum inc rear dampers/timing belt kit etc

Posted

ANYONE WANT THIS?

 

 

Yes! But I fear it'd almost certainly result in me being kicked out, so probably best not...

Posted

Do it newbie! Excellent way to earn many shite points.

 

I''m tempted, but the 400 mile each way trip puts me off somewhat

Posted

I can't be buying every VAG car 320touring sells, that would be a very dangerous precedent to set!

I wonder if the turbo gubbins would bolt onto the olop...

Engine swap!?

I've been offered 100 by scrap man and can collect on sat morn.

 

speak up noo or forever hold your peace:)

That's a good price, all I got offered for the wee colt was £10 and I had to take it to them.

Shame your calling it quits, I was looking forward to more modding

I'm not launching the software- another cheap one turns up and I'll be in it like a tramp on chips:)

You would be correct.

The exterior of this thing is as minging as the name (which I coined) suggests, a proper abandon-in-the-worst-part-of-town-without-fear machine, but inside it not at all unpleasant to be honest. And it drives REALLY well, and even after stepping out of the famous Xantia, I couldn't feel owt wrong with the ride or handling. Neil's a bit harsh on it I reckon. It deserves to live on. The fact it's worth 100 scrap makes it even more of a bargain for someone - a free car. If not, I think Skattrd should have it to re-engine his Sirocco. It'd be a shame to see it fragged.

its humped. ask FPB7, he's done some miles in it.

 

Like I say, sort the fuel leak and exhaust and see if you can mot it. I can map it foc:)

Posted

Why is it worth £100 scrap, is it because Octavia Mk1 spares are still in demand?

I dont ask daft questions;)

Posted

I do, all the time! :-(

 

Taxi-spec Octavia Mk1s ran til about 2010 I think, so I guess there are still loads of them working for a living.

Posted

Distance excuses mostly.

 

Being a vegetarian I would definitely be interested if the distance was shorter and I had any idea about re-mapping.

 

Much prefer tweaking things with spanners myself.
