I bought the car from Inverness with short mot and tax it's got just under 74k miles but no real s/h
I've put it in for its mot and it failed on
Exhaust blowing : I've had it welded
Light beam out of range: the wee clip to hold bulb in isn't there so bulb is just flapping about
Ball joint has excessive play: it's not it's been wrongly diagnosed it's the struts too small for the hub ( I don't think it's gti struts just basic spec struts) ordered a set of euro car parts for gti but not fitted yet
Handbrake efficiency below requirement: I've fitted new discs and pads and de greased cleaned handbrake mechanism on back so hopefully that's it!
It was just over on emissions so I'm hoping the red ex I've put in and new plugs will bring that down along with the exhaust not blowing.
So I've replaced
Both front arms
Both drop links
Both track rod ends
Front and rear discs and pads
Oil and oil filter
Front tyres (uniroyal rain sports 3)
New part sun fitted
Power flex bottom engine mount
Front struts
The car itself is pretty straight no big scratches or dents cleans up well a small dent on back panel below tailgate is the most notable , it's only done 74k miles last few mots back this up no real history came with the car though so unsure of cam belt change so that was also on my list of things to do
All in all it's a decent car that just needs a little bit of tlc and time to make right and I just don't have it to give
Car is located in perth Scotland as I said I'm working two jobs but can float about for viewings
I no there not worth much and I will be losing almost all ive spent on parts but such is life
Looking for 750 for it
