Good to hear you got yourself sorted out with a car mate, must be a big relief being able to get about again

Yeah, Sooooo good to be back on the road again!

Can I have a taxi for 11pm outside the vesper gate please mate?

The cabbies must be rich your way, they all drive octavias diesels round here haha!

Is it the old 1ZZ 140 engine?

You got lucky with the year, pre-2002 models had a serious piston ring issue which meant oil consumption close to 1 litre / 500 miles.

To be fair, they are bombproof on the later cars. Chain driven, get 40 mpg all day long and they're incredibly smooth engines. 5spd or 6spd box?

Erm, no idea on the engine, its only 127bhp as far as I'm aware though.

5 speed box.....means 2k in top gear is only like 45mph! .

nice buy there tom, now no raving on about mpg! also sell the turbo and what ever else you can off the golf and weigh the rest in for funds.

Christ Procta, one thing at a time mate!
