Stopping quickly? With a heavy estate on 266s?
No chance. It's like trying to stop the 106 NAD with a trailer of rubble lol, I'm amazed they didn't stick bigger brakes on HDis in all honesty.(04-03-2013, 07:00 PM)ozonehostile Wrote: you will be lucky to get more than £120 for scrap, even as a complete car, prices are shit at the moment.
most of your problems with it seem to be caused by neglect surely?
fair enough if you dont have the money or effort to do it, but with preventitive maintenance and you wouldn't have half of these issues.
seems like youve just let it get this bad so you can scrap it and buy another golf :p
Neglect? I havent even had it 3 months yet for f*ck sake!
And in that time I gave it a service, replaced front discs and pads, fixed the door loom, replaced the handbrake cables, replaced the front suspension etc etc...I've spent loads more money on it than I did the Golf (golf was lucky if it got serviced tbh. 
) and it seems all that money was wasted on the 306. Oh well we learn from mistakes apparently...but clearly not in my case.It just so happens that it was driven by a woman before, and we all know women don't realise anythings wrong with thier car until its actually broken down. But it seems to me like literally every wear and tear item has broken in the last 3 months for some reason, unluckiness I guess.
Interestingly, I've had enough money in the bank to buy another Golf for a few months now, but I've chosen not to do so.
