shail 0 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Well it finally happened. My engine is making so much noise (not the good kind) that i cant bear to drive it any more. Bottom end problems i think / been told. Looks like a total strip down for the engine. Well and truly gutted. I am soooo glad i recently moved from living 3 miles from work to 32 miles from work Well thats enough feeling sorry for myself. Jus gonna have to buy a car for £100 this weekend to see me thru till i sell/get mine fixed. Ive seen a beaut of a Opel Manta for £95 with 3 month road tax, or for an extra £15 i can get my self into a Rover 100 'Tahiti' with 9 months tax, but thats just showing off......is there a www.tahitirover100.co.uk? if not, why not?

jcorallo 0 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 heh! shail - this is what I did! My car was pi$$ing me about so I logged into eBay and got me a 160k mile Golf GTD MkII - for £400 - its ace - I really dont care about it and I can park next to cars in the works car park without worrying about getting the doors banged...! Oh - and it does minimum 55mpg - which is a welcome break!Just have to get used to people jumping in the back seat at traffic lights now.... Jules Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 LOL, same as me Jules I just picked up a mint Ford Escort Diesel van for £100 pounds! now can leave my Mk2 GTI and VR at home and save a fortune! Even if it does mean driving a ford, although its hard to leave the VR at home, so bit of a waste really as walk past the van most days! Link to post Share on other sites
jcorallo 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 you know what, since I had my VR re-mapped the other week, the GTD hasnt had a look in and has been in the garage parked up since....will wait till the VR is nearly on empty then jump back in the diesel!The big VR will be back out for GTI Festival me thinks... cant wait!Jules[ Edited Thu Jul 01 2004, 01:12AM ] Link to post Share on other sites
