yahoo!! i havent been in since thurs or fri good news... glad to have a car which has an affinity with the golf...simple and practical controls and a rugged feel to the gear change thanks for the good tidings cheers geof

The price is 3400 for this vehicle FP58YYK inclusive of all work and full tank diesel. It's a local car and the previous owner traded in for a newer Skoda I have to pay £30 road tax only Thanks again for that comprehensive advice. I'll be back to report if anything goes wrong. cheers Geof

Sorry...it's 3 months..£300 max...hence he flogs the warranties in any event I would get the £300 in labour and buy the spares as some garages do round here for services cheers geof

The garage is my trusty local chap and offers a 3 month/£300 warranty. He does take great pride in his cars and customers. The only reason I thought about extended warranties was that he has them...the one I mentioned in the OP. At present it's having the MOT and a full service, and a cam belt at his suggestion When I bought my new Golf in 2001 I took out the VW ext.war for an additional 2 years..making 5 total. As it happens I only needed to claim for a faulty elec window switch an a radiator. That was from new of course!! most of the rest of work was done over the years by VW stealers except battery and exhaust was starter motor and some latterly electronics. it went after 135k in 2016 glad of any advice especially that which will save me money cheers GEOF

Get my Fabia tomorrow its a 58 1.4Tdi 3 the garage has customer protection warranties i googled them and got a lot of scam results any experience here to advise please cheers geof

just a long shot but in another forum which i was on...mk4vwgolf a similar string of events were finally diagnosed by checking the earthing strap. where it connects to the body hope this helps cheers geof
