GVK:
Picked up this yesterday, from Nottingham 140ps GT TDI NAV with DCC.... 61 mpg on return journey home.

Had a boost leak from where new turbo fitted, turbo muffler seal was missing!

Has a dent on bonnet, no AC and the locking wheel nut key is missing. Other than that it's a nice car to drive. Will remap, and lower it on H&R or Eibach springs. Have coded out the ESP/ASR function so 5 sec press turns everything off as per BMW. Coded the RNS510 to allow NAV functions up to 60 km/h, and messed about with some of the lighting functions. Used OBD eleven pro.

Nice handling car for stock, pity it has budget sh*te tyres on 235/40x18 - will get some new ones on the front at least AsAP.

Nice car - good colour,
Bonnet dent can't be that bad - it isnt noticable in the pictures.

Missing locking key is a pain.
I had the key for my old Mk4, but through use it decided it didn't want to be a key any more...
Invested in 2 or 3 types of removers, I had managed to get 3 of the bolts of myself, the last one refused to come off.
After visited several tyre places & even called the RAC, I ended up going to an Estonian dude who apparently was ex-special forces, he charged in advance and got out the biggest snap-on impact gun I have seen + bolt extractor - only 2 minutes later it was off and I was £50 lighter.

IIRC - the best type is a giant version of the Irwin bolt removers like below, seems to be some chinese versions on ebay:

But what tool you can use will be dictated by space in the wheel around the bolt.
If that was my Mk5 with Monzas, I would have been completely f'd - too deep and no space, leaving no option but drilling the bolt out.

I know a guy who works at VW to get a master key set... Should be easy, if not a job for local tyre shop as it needs front tyres as got budget crap on it -  :fighting2:
Dent is slap bang in the middle of bonnet, looks like somethings dropped on it.  :jumping:

Part number required for the shifter linkage for an S3/Edition 30 - this has got too much throw on the gear shifter. :driver:
