Ed you need to chill out mannn, I'm really not trying to exasperate you! Our opinions are clearly different......but that is allowed, we don't all have to have the same opinion lol! 
Niall, yes I have bad luck with any car it would seem. But just to put in some perspective - I had the replace a hub on the 106 as the driveshaft was so badly siezed! I've got an annoying rattle on the HDi as one of the flywheel cover bolts was so old it just snapped trying to undo it so the cover is only held by two. I've git a split CV boot as the obly way to get the intermediate bearing back in was to hammer it as again, it was old and rusty, oh and I've had to have the brakes bled through the connections as the nipples are so rusty one snapped, 1 rounded and another siezed! I've stripped most of the outside of the golf now....only sheared one bolt out of the entire lot!
And there are almost no pd130/150s in scrappys, as they're mostly in higher end cars (leon cupra, golf gt, fabia vrs, Audi a3, ford galaxy....well ok most higher end ones lol, and are still worth fixing. But xuds aren't worth fixing for normal public. Tbh what I see most of is hdis! Mostly 406s though for some reason.
