DGW, I'm just wondering how old I need to be. I used to have a Ford Capri, so I guess I'm plenty old enough.

I've seen loads of Black vRS's I've seen a few Silver ones I've seen 2 Yellow ones. I've seen 1 Red one. BUT, I've not yet seen a Graphite Grey Metallic one! Does anyone have a good image of a Grey one that they can post? Thanks

Not wanting to hijack your thread, but I would also be interested about how these mods have affected your insurance. Insurance companies are obsessed with modifications; add another ash tray, and they suck through their teeth, bump up the premium (and the Excess) by a considerable sum and then charge you a

I've never dealt with the internet brokers, but I hope they would be able to agree that the requirement would be for a 2005 facelifted model! It would be rather disappointing to order a car, and then to find out in several weeks time that they had got you a pre-facelifted model. Not that there's anything wrong with the previous model, but would the brokers attempt to clean up all the old stock (if there is any left) and pass them on without making this detail known to you? I don't know how honest these brokers are, compared with the rest of the honest motor industry (LOL)

Yeah, but it would be better if it was

A colleague of mine has an 02-reg Golf GTi TDi 150bhp. He told me last week that he'd had a major service including a routine scheduled timing belt replacement. At this time the dealer had also replaced the belt driven Water Pump. Total cost, over

Thanks Quinten, I got there in the end :rubchin:

Baaaaarh! Anyone know how an idiot can insert images? I got it, I got it (sorry to foul up the site with pics of Golf GTi) Anyway, I've been reading about KONI vs. Eibach so maybe some of this may be of use. I have KONI ride/height sports suspension (coil overs) on this and from day 1 have had problems with the rubber gaitors. The gaitors appear to be made of some kind of compressed chocolate cake mixture and seem to perish really quickly, this is a problem when it comes to the MOT (+ the required roadside rebuild to fit them). Next time I think Eibach deserve a chance. Can anyone else recommend Eiback over KONI or whatever? I see a set of KONIs for Fab vRS is about

Andy, thanks for that. It's been about 15 years since I last sold a car, so you can understand my aprehension! I never thought about AutoTrader, but still think that eBay will bring a market price. Trying to insert an image here (never done this before), it may not work, I have no confidence! Here goes........ I test drove a Fabis vRS last week, now I'm quite sure it's quicker than my GTi Turbo. Need a good price for this one.

My local dealer said it would take 10 weeks to get a Fabia vRS, and offered me 2p for my mint Golf GTi 3-door (Petrol) Turbo. Without a trade in, he would knock
