On mine you can always open the driver's door with the key, it's only the rest of the doors that require power and a functioning BCM, so not sure why they had to go in through the boot?

My 3B deadlocks so the only way in with a dead battery is via the boot, and then working out how the funk to release the seat backs to crawl though the car and pop the bonnet. Interior handles are also deadlocked with no power. It's certainly secure...

I really like that red estate, a pre-facelift one like this is about the only thing I'd consider replacing my saloon with. Interested!

As for boost tailing off, mine does similar, it can sometimes be the actuator staying fully open and the ECU getting upset at too much boost apparently - I should get mine fixed at that lovely TDI torque is a lot of fun

I'd be most worried re the scratch marks on the hazard switch.
Seems to have been used quite a lot :)

Looks lovely though. Seats look really good.

That's a hazard switch, i thought it was a park anywhere you want switch ? lol

A VW Scirocco, MK3 Golf Convertible or a Chrysler Crossfire.

Good thoughts, + 1 on the image of those. But no cigar.

Clue- its the sort of car Kerry Katona would have bought with the first (modest) royalties from her first successes.

Got to be an Escort cabby?

Actually, scratch that. A bit of Googling reveals they were also responsible for those bloody horrible Micra coupe convertible efforts.

That’s where my money lies*
 

 

 

*not literally. If it is one of those, you’re on your own when it comes to flogging it on next week. My standards are remarkably low but even so.

On the 31/12/1999 I had an M reg 2.0i CD Omega  and it was such an anti-climax when I got in it the next morning and the date had just changed to 01,01.2000.  
That Omega was the last “ work” car I owned that didn’t have aircon also the last with a petrol engine. Simpler times and I still earned good money with it.
