Newbie with VRS Estate

[alecg51]

Hello 

 

I thought I should introduce myself and say thanks for the wealth of information on here so far!
 

I've been looking for a vrs estate for a month or so, and I picked one up on Sunday. It's an ex forum members car guessing from the sticker in the back window - a Kent number plate ending 03ULW.

 

Anyway, she's currently getting the waterpump and cambelt changed and a service before I start using it.

 

Upon viewing the car I tool my OBD scanner and saw the 17705 and 17545 codes, which I'm getting my garage to have a small investigation into as it's not bringing up the EML. This as well as the drivers side door not on the central locking/drivers side mirror/interior light problem, but she came with the loom to replace the door loom.

 

This doesn't put me off - I've got a mk1 golf with a mk3 golf td engine in which has kept me busy and I like a challenge!

Anwyay, I'll update this post with pics come the weekend!

 

Hello, and thanks again!

Thank you!

A question I forgot to ask is where is a good place to buy parts from? Also, is there a website which has assembly drawings / parts listed?
