Easily sorter my guy - very popular upgrade is the LED bulbs, they keep the same beam pattern more or less with the way they’re housed. Had i realised how much money i’d made from selling my house i’d have f**king kept mine now. :( @Jason_E

The wheels on the Octavia are my second favourite wheels ever made (only behind the CSL’s)👌🏽

You’ll not struggle for choice, that 5x112 fitment must be the most common out there

You flick the light switch on and off 10 times before leaving a room or someone will die, don’t you😂

If memory serves my mate turned it off with carista? I always forgot to turn it off, drove me mental! Weirdly its not anywhere near as intrusive in the S1 however that’ll be getting turned off when i get a chance to have it plugged in!

The start/stop feature allegedly eats the batteries, bloody dear as well. For anyone going for a Golf R/Cupra/S3 i’d have the start stop coded out, the AGM battery replacement is expensive and can’t imagine the start stop is actually doing any good to the rest of the running gear. Used to hate...

I’d try disconnecting the battery for half an hour

I recall the Corsa used to have the GSi badge on the bumper, i gather thats not standard on the Astra?

Always had a soft spot for the Astra GSi - i’ve seen this one before and it appears to be absolutely immaculate. Also clocked a 550 Maranello, apologies for the poor picture, i believe these have shot up in value recently, never seen a black one before, absolutely stunning cars.

Cracking photo that last one!

Definitely hang on for the one you want there are plenty out there!

Excellent mate, have you went for the Golf R?

Also, the haldex pump on the back axle needs properly serviced, Audi/Volkswagen only change the oil, it needs the gauze filter taken out and properly cleaned, DSG oil intervals are 40k also, these are not massively expensive jobs to have done.

The Golf R boot is massive, they go really well as standard and actually return decent fuel economy - the only thing that seems to haunt them is a failed thermostat housing iirc. Although not a show stopper - worth checking its been done or negotiate it. IMO the Leon Cupra estate is far better...

You’ll have caught the rust early enough there anyway!

Lovely motors, what colour you going for?

Lovely mate, welcome along! Is that iceberg silver? Looks to have a blue tint to it?

I had this once, turned out to be one of the HT leads from memory.

Agreed. CSL’s are mega.

Unfortunately my 1*2 days are behind me now lol
