Robson3022 Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 After asking you fine people for some help with a luxurious auto, unusually you were no help at all!! So I have sourced my own. Couple of hours away so I’m on the way. Vehicle of choice the TT. I really like the TT but I’ve got no justification to keep it. It’s too small, can’t put a car seat in it or the dog. I’m breaking a cardinal rule in buying a car from Keighly but I sort of know the seller. Car I’m buying is auto, luxurious, bigger and quicker than the TT and also 4x4 Dave_Q, privatewire and sdkrc 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazoli Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 That's a very brave purchase if I do say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robson3022 Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Stopped for some tea! 130,000, miles allegedly 350bhp certainly feels quick. spare set of 19” wheels included break light and tyre light on. break light is a disconnected sensor, it’s got run flats so I’m guessing something a miss there. Turns out the Haldex is disconnected so it’s FWD 🫣 Thanks to @NorthernMonkeyfor getting it on the ramp for a look. This is definitely a keeper (I know, I know). Haldex are £300 ish so will fettle that, service, then chip away at little bits to try and make it mint. Popsicle and sdkrc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaefft Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 If it is 350hp I would have a very close look at all the components that were never intended to survive nearly that much stress. That like what, a over 50% boost compared to stock? Pat Earrings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
