Well, a few of you had cottened on to it, but yes.. I have bought a Mk1 Octy vRS, in Coridoor red.

It is mint, inside and out. And pulls well

Bad pic from phone:

Will get some more soon!

To do list:

New head unit (should be here tomorrow)

Change it to standard servicing shedule (anyone near Newport/Cardiff who can do this? will pay you in beer!)

Nice car Babs - Glad its all worked out for you.

Babs, you can only really swap it to fixed intervals straight after a service.

You can do this yourself by resetting the service indicatior with the dash buttons as written in the handbook - this will automatically set it to fixed intervals.

Looks well in red Babs

nice car,red is best ,enjoy what year is it babs?

Looks good Babs, what made you go for the MkI in the end?

Money, really! Couldn't get a Mk2 for less than than £15k... and I got a really good deal on this one

It's a 54 plate

Congrats!

Where did you pick it up from? Private/independent/main dealer?

Steve

As I've said a few times now. Enjoy it mate

It was from Griffin Mill, Pontypridd

Lovely looking Octy that, that's going to polish up well and there is so much stuff out there for the 1.8T / Mk1 the possibilties are almost endless.

It's mint, aside from very light swirling

Good stuff mate, happy motoring

I just heard the recirc valve dumping to the intake lol

That is really really nice

Will add pictures sometime of the new head unit, works very well... although it does look like I've been self-harming!

Cuts all over my forearms from various bits of trim and supports behind the dash!

Installing CD players is not a job for those big of limb lol!

And thank you all for your comments!

Yeah Ive just changed mine too, its such a nightmare, theres just no room :(

Even less-so with a double-DIN!

Ah well, it's in now

Did you whip the glovebox out makes it soooomuch easier to do

Yeah, glove box was out, and most of the centre dash lol

Oh, and today I managed to rip the handle mechanism clean out of the glove box door?!
