I'd just be gutted for you to spend a fortune on a 'maybe' fix and for it to end up dying as a result.
Either way, free to lend a hand whenever required.
It will live again, no doubt. I still think a replacement engine with fresh belts will be the best/cheapest/most reliable long term solution. Be nothing worse than spending a few hundred and the problem still being there.
I'm assuming you can read (although spelling appears to be a struggle;)).
Now the 'raw facts' show that these review's have been pointed out to you. You've chosen to ignore that they exist. In your own words, "probably not a good for your mental and social state".
Driving a 200, I'm...
So you're saying a comparison between a frs is more important as it's recent than a 5yr old comparison with supercars?
Nice to see that now you've been quite easily proven incorrect, you've changed tact without acknowledging the fail.
Not one bit surprised by your attitude though, simpletons...
This. And trotting off to scan articles from a few months ago is simple, doing the same for a 6yr+ article is not so simple. Agree re the age, same as my knowledge re the model T ;).

The Autocar hothatch feature when the mk5 Gol GTi was 1st released, the 182 finished top.

Trendline's are a good seat, but not really any good for track work, and the...
I've run them, brilliant! Stiffer sidewall, so very responsive, but a sensible compound, so they'll outlast r888 by a mile. They aren't great with standing water, but I'd say they were better than T1R's and parada when wet.
Check the tyre pressures, check the dampers. And Apex springs are f**king awful, really, really, really poor. Worse setup by a country mile that I've driven.
