DoctorRetro Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 My Mk3 Golf was probably OK, but I just didn't like it. The feeling was apparently mutual as it EML'd me and then shat its clutch in an apparent suicide attempt. Promptly scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works though, the Fox doesn’t Now has 3/4 working electric windows. The one with the wood holding it up has had the regulator and motor removed, motors are expensive so I think I’ll be replacing the wood with a bit that fits better ? ?

Kiltox Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Started trying to make this a bit more presentable today. Realised I don’t have the polish I need, so have ordered some from Amazon for delivery tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Quite happy with how this is coming on. New plates arrived today so I'll need to get those and the wheel arch covers fitted and I think it'll actually be pretty smart! Shame about the dull rattle canned paint on the OSF wing, but I'll not be chasing that particular rabbit I don't think!

Kiltox Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 A competent two bucket type like @beko1987 would be able to make it look a lot better too, I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Decided to order a NSF window motor so it can have four working windows. I’d be better just selling the other three and binning the car.... Marm Toastsmith and Craig the Princess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Fearn Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Back in 2006/7 after a myriad of failures on my BX GTi I rushed out and bought a 96 Golf GL with the 1.9 umwelt turbo diesel from a local trader. Low miles, full history, sensibly priced. The sort of car your dad would approve of. I absolutely hated it. It was stodgy to drive, gave me awful back ache and developed huge rust blisters in random places. On the plus side, it did 20k in the year I had it, never put a foot wrong and cost nothing to run. My BX couldn’t manage a full tank of fuel between failures. One of the few cars I was prepared to sell to a friend, who ran it for another 10 years without any major expenditure. Looking back now, a set of new springs and dampers would have probably livened the thing up but I would have refused to spend a penny on it. I hate to say it but they are 100% recommended by me.

Kiltox Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 I find it reasonably comfortable although the seat is rather unsupportive for someone as powerfully* built as myself ? Can’t go wrong at banger money I don’t think - this ones a bit crusty but it’ll go through another couple of MOTs I’m sure. Ian_Fearn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Decided that given everyone's stuck at home and the pubs are shut, you need cheering up - so in this week's video we aren't just saying goodbye to the Golf, but hello to the fantastic* Megane Cabriolet that is replacing it!
