I am in Ware, Hertfordshire. I have some pictures however they are 6 months old, so better that I get new ones tonight and I will add to the thread. -
2003 Sprint Yellow vRS for sale. Before continuing need to know that this car is currently off the road. Has 2 flat tyres so would need a trailer, is SORN and has no MOT. Car starts and runs fine, ended up with 2 flat tyres because I left it on the drive for a while. Bought this car in 2011 on 76k miles now has 96k. Usual standard features of the vRS, as far as I am aware it has no additional options. Full service history up to March 2013 and 88197 miles with full documentation, stamps and mot documents. At this point I did not really use the car a great deal so it has not been serviced since. 2 keys and 2 alarm fobs included. Paintwork is in fairly good condition, cleans up well. Pro-sport coilovers Parts included with sale Spare brake pads Sprint Yellow touch up kit from Chipex (http://www.chipex.co.uk) New Skoda boot badge Issues Rear wiper only intermittently works. Drivers door does not lock with central locking, have to lock with the key. 2 flat tyres Couple of bumper scuffs. Air con does not work. The car is currently declared SORN, MOT has expired and is not insured so potentially a buyer would need a trailer. Because of all of the above I think £400 would be a far price, if nobody is able to collect it I may have to sort an MOT and tyres first. Pics to follow

May have resolved it with the polo mount hack mod. Just need a couple of washers......hopefully will get them quickly so I can get a free retest and see. -

Yeah, red polybush topmounts. Been on 2ish years with no issues, think the MOT place is just being picky, dont think its a problem. -

Ordered some polo cup things, will mod them as per the how to guide and see if it helps. -

Wonder if its the old top bit cup thing not quite fitting snugly on the poly mounts..... -
So I fitted propsports and new topmounts under 2 years ago, passed one MOt but has now failed the next on Excessive movement, they claim I need new topmounts. (£175 fitted!) Cant understand this as they are those red polybush ones. Any tips on solving this one?
