A pushchair, spare wheel and standard first aid kit.

The way I see it, it tells me something is working which can only be a good thing. Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Wish I had working air con. Hopefully a re-gas will sort it.

Will be close to £1k once I get the belts and mount done - not bad for a week hehehe

I suspect mine probably looks the same. It was changed by the previous owner last year for £350 and it's now got a f**ked dephaser. I have to spend £££s to correct someone else's bodge job :( Still at least I'll know it's been done and done properly!

I'd always replace both shocks/ springs on front or rear otherwise you'll probably yoyo down the road.

Jsut in case you thought things were improving with the car though.... RCL stopped working today and I've blown another headlight bulb. hehe

Brakes are now working as they should be and what a difference! :approve: Amazing the difference dead fluid and a stuck calliper makes to your braking efficiency hehe Now just the hybrid mirrors to sort out and then do the belts and my car shall rule them all! Muhahahaha! Well ok maybe it will...

My old GTi-6 was at 150k of hard miles and never grumbled. Personally the way it's been driven and the quality of servicing is more important to me than the miles - most of my cars have been high milers.

Same.

I had a 406 Hdi and that was faultless. Ok so it's like driving a silent fart where everything is all quiet and fluffy ;) The ride is cushioned, the pedals are light, the spec is good, the steering is light, they are pretty economical. Mine only needed glow plugs and glow plug relay in 4...
