2008 Candy White GTI

Cheers for all the kind words fellas - going to give it a detail this weekend and will take more pics!
The cam follower is getting checked when the cambelt/waterpump and major service is carried out in about 2 weeks time.
As for DMF and clutch - it is in the pipeline but getting quoted £1200 for the work from my local specialist which is a little rich for me at the moment - especially as it is tight as a mouses ear!

£1200 is a little rich, I've had quotes around £7/800 for my 130k example, it's still going well, so why change them eh?

I'd want that follower out yesterday though.

As promised I have taken another couple of pics today showing the overall condition of the vehicle - apart from a couple of stone chips here and there you would have no idea it has been to the moon and back!

Now has a couple of extras installed - like the rear blinds, wind deflectors, pressed plates and so on



































I will keep updating when things get changed - next big job is the major service, waterpump, cambelt, sports springs and cam follower replacement!

Christ mate, that passenger seat doesn't even look like it's been used.

You are quite right - it is brand new as the previous owner only used the car to travel between construction sites on his own, his wife I believe wasnt a fan of the car and they went out in her own vehicle when travelling as a couple! There is no wear on it - and to be honest the PO was a slim fella who hardly marked the drivers seat! Thrilled with the car so far!

The Dension Pro BT kit has transformed the car too!
Full Bluetooth connectivity, phonebook and caller info on Highline display
Bluetooth music streaming from my iPhone with track listings showing on the highline display
There is even a new digital fuel gauge displayed showing remaining fuel in Litres!

All through a bog standard RCD 300! Very happy

Have a new follower ready, so when they take it out to check, they can replace. If it hasn't been done by that mileage it will be at very least on its least legs. For the sake of £35 it's not worth the risk IMHO.

Unless the last owner was on here, he probably wouldn't have replaced it

[StuF]

Yep - I have one being delivered on Thursday ready for Mondays service etc 
The PO wasnt on here - and if he was I doubt I would have been able to afford the car as the price would have been higher!

I have requested the garage retain my old cam follower so I can see the condition - I will take some pics and keep you peeps updated, I would guess it is still on the og one!

Welcome mate, you got yourself a right bargain there lucky git.
