Saabnut Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Will somebody bloody buy this quickly! I have bought 2 cars off Kinkersaab this bloody week, and do not need to make it a hat trick! Fortunately I am heading to France in the IFP Jizz tomorrow so should save myself! The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-T Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 My Dad bought a brand spanker 150bhp when they 1st came out in 2001. Then I had one about 13 years ago when I was 20. It had done about 110k when I had it and I had it remapped and drove it like a twat, hoofing out great clouds of clag absolutely everywhere. I'm pretty certain it had already had a haircut when I had it and I know the lad I sold it to knocked another 30k off when he had it. I just checked the reg and the fucker's still going, it must have done about 250k by now! I'd say these PD engines are the nicest 4 cyl diesel I've driven, even in standard form they go well, do 50mpg and don't really go wrong. It's a shame they couldn't get them through euro 4 emissions as I reckon they're better than the 2.0 lump that followed. I know everyone slates the handling but that mini-tank feeling quite suits them. For £450 that's a great little thing. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 That actually looks really good vfm, surprisingly isn't running on hideous 19" alloys and doesn't look like it's been piloted by some absolute knob rocket round a council estate at 100mph every night.

rickvw72 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I’ve got a 130 Tdi, really all the car you need.Mines got heated seats (fabric) and cruise.Seem to be going up a touch in value at the minute, I recommend them to most people. Massively understressed mechanically, engines are usually like new inside regardless of miles. They do like to chew suspension bushes though..

I_am_Diesel Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 My missus bought one just after we first got together, cracking car, went like stink whilst good on fuel. Only the windows dropping into the doors due to dodgy plastic clips holding them in position let it down. I will be honest though, I do find the mk4 a trifle drab.

Daviemck2006 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I took an easy jet from Aberdeen to Luton to pick up a £250 xantia. The plane was less than 40 quid and it used 60 quid of diesel getting home. Its very doable.

CortinaDave Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I live up here so 9 times out of 10 I have to travel south to get a car I want. So far the record was Fife to Saltash in Cornwall. 9 hour drive. Its a day of your time to get what you want, well worth it IMO Tam and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I would imagine Bucketeer delivery services may be available sooner rather than later if insured and driveable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bezzabsa Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hmmm,strange u all say London to scotch exists for Megabus, as the site i was on didn't show that.. plus i'd be heading 110 miles in the wrong direction to get to Londonium...can't drive up as I cannae drive 2 back..no tow bar so trailering it back isnt an option.. unless anyone up there wants a 2002 scenic 1600 16v Auto, 123k alloys, leather, belts done,air con works..no sunroof...Used to be HGV driver so distance doesnt faze me...also picked up a LR 90 from Egremont in a 1970 SWB 2.25 diesel.. my ears have just about recovered!!!!

Bit late now but the bus I got to Glasgow was heading on to Aberdeen, and its first stop was Birmingham. I've just been on the Megabus site and it shows plenty of availability, 18 quid if you book far enough ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
