Spent £15 on it today.  New OEM plugs and 3 new wiper blades, sourced a set of refurbed splities.  Replaced the battery tray at the weekend, the previous owner had bought a new OEM part, and gave it to me.

Rear brake discs next.  £12 each!  Cheap motoring!

Nice motor, and sounds like it is going to get some proper treatment.  Almost a shame its high mileage, otherwise it would be a little minter.  :congrats:

I really like that Dave. Very tidy buy for less than a grand! Doesn't appear visually as thought it's done 125k.

With any luck, bearing in mind the number plate, Shaun Wright-Phillips will buy it for a lot more than £900 when you're done with it  :wink:  :laugh:

Well happy.

Just changed the rear wheel bearings 2 weeks ago, new set of front brake pads, and shoved it through an MOT.  The parts cost me less than a £100, and TBH it didn't need new wheel bearings, just a tighten up would have done, but got them cheap (all parts OEM from the local VW Trade Counter)

12 months ticket first time! Nil advisories............

Well happy!

Emissions are well low too.
