Your poor Golf!

I wouldn't get an A3 tbh, would rather get a nicely sorted mk4 GTI, anni edition if possible.

Out of interest, how hard did you drive it/what did you do to make it start to whine?
I suspect you've probably killed the synchros quite thoroughly.

That's a great plan. I worked as an apprentice technician for a Porsche Centre for 2 months and I absolutely loved it. Taught me loads.
