Flol! Only me and you would spend good money on a car then sell it.

Yah, daft from a financial perspective, but necessary from a conscience one. I'd like to think that if you buy a car from me you know its been looked after properly, plenty of ex-'Sir_Dave' owned cars on here would testify to that i hope

 

[MarkCup]

LOL, finally created the perfect in every way car...to sell it.

House > car.

 

[Budgie]

I'm glad I didn't attempt that.

Hell yes I would!

 

[BigDaveRotary]

If I wasn't about to drop all my money into my house deposit/solicitors fee's i'd be amazingly tempted pal!

 

[leeroybrown]

So we going back to a TT or 330?

 

[VeinAST]

Question for you Dave, my mate has a grandad spec Golf+ but he's finally opened up to the idea of splashing some cash on it (it's a 2.0TDi) so he's bought himself the RCD 200? Or something like that to play copied CDs and have an Aux in but was wondering about buying himself some interior.

Would the MK5 GTi/R32 or jetta leather/half leather interiors fit without much hassle??

 

[philmots]

lol.. I can't quite believe it's going after spending probably around £500 on suspension parts! Or going at all.. I think you'll regret it. :-(

 

[Saner]

funny.. I really didn't see this coming.

 

[Wick]

No change here! I'd love it but I couldn't stomach the fuel unfortunately.

 

[.GAZ.]

Much you wanting for it? PM me dude.

 

[bmh.01]

Shame you'd fitted the bits I wouldn't have minded the WALK and powerflex bushes.

 

[Herr Flick]

Hahahahahahhahahahahaha

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

LOL.

Yeah should do, all you'd need would be say a Gti leather interior/doorcards and then perhaps 10 minutes of coding in VAGCOM for the airbags. Makes a massive difference to the interior as well!!

lol.. I can't quite believe it's going after spending probably around £500 on suspension parts! Or going at all.. I think you'll regret it. :-(

Ha ha, i had been buying the suspension parts over time tbh, so the only thing i paid for at the weekend was labour at circa £285, so wasnt quite as painful!! Poly bushing everything has definately made everything harder, although admittedly, the roads on my journey to work are horrific, pothole/manhole/speedbump central The latter part about regret, more than likely, so it'll be a gradual sale lol, not in any real rush.

No change here! I'd love it but I couldn't stomach the fuel unfortunately.

Its really not as bad as everyone thinks, certainly no worse than a 330i ...

 

[Chris205]

Dave I think every car you sell is for the house fund, then you just spend it on something else anyway lol.

I'd just enjoy the R32 for a while longer as you'll only buy something else as equally thirsty etc

 

[Sir_Dave]

Dave I think every car you sell is for the house fund, then you just spend it on something else anyway lol.

Yeah, there is that. But im now in a situation where our rent is obscene, & whilst Sarah has the money sat in her bank account for a deposit, its very much me holding up proceedings now. Ive delayed the inevitable as long as i can really

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

You're such i dick, but i love you x

 

[Jamie86]

Surely you can't turn up at work driving a Trophy again!

 

[philmots]

I had a year out when bought a house, it wasn't too bad.. I got a diesel Focus and quite enjoyed trying to get silly MPG's out of it. Did get boring, though..

 

[Englebert]

You, Sir (Dave), are quite mad.

A quick question, what are those number plates on the car on the right? Keep seeing them; common, yet surely foreign?

 

[jesus]

Diplomat number plates.

Now for sale if anyones interested: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?684183-High-Spec-Golf-Mk5-R32-£9-495-ono

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah spotted that, looks nice mate

 

[Hixle]

Such a bloody good car. Hopefully someone will snap it up mate.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Suprised Gaz hasn't bought it!

 

[.GAZ.]

Part ex for a X5?

 

[Lal B3N]

Haldex going with it or selling separate?

Read the ad

 

[Sir_Dave]

Yeah, is blooming lovely!! Would certainly never find another one with all the options that are on it, most are properly poverty spec, or £12k. Will no doubt regret selling it, but cant have that much money tied up in a car anymore really.

Part ex for a X5?

Just need a straight sale im afraid, dont think im gansta enough for an X5 though really

Haldex going with it or selling separate?

Would probably have offered it with the car, but if someone wanted to buy it sooner, id remove it & package it up.

Pricewise, id be wanting £650 delivered - they are circa £1100 new iirc

 

[Russ_16v]

If it helps I can vouch for the car, it is a nice one and feels very solid - a well looked after R32 should cover miles well and it feels like it has done half the mileage.

Cheers Russ, much appreciated.

FWIW, i only bought it after taking it to Russ's VW dealership to get him to check it over and give it the all clear

If he'd said it was a poor one i wouldnt have bought it!!

 

[Russ_16v]

CS clique love <3 x lol

 

[couzens]

He won't be able to get in!

Good luck Dave.

 

[Sir_Dave]

This car simply keeps giving!! Bills lol.

Removing coilovers on Saturday and notice that the passenger inner cv joint is a bit loose (might be the cause of the slight rattle), then when dropping the hub on the drivers side to remove the strut the drivers side cv joint pulls out. Seems that the US guides suggest removing the driveshaft prior to removal, but the UK guide i was using didnt. 345mm disc and huge caliper = heavy = doh.

Got everything back together, & am greeted by a big vibration upon accelerating at 50mph+. This indicates that the drivers side inner CV joint has cr4pped itself. A £50 part you would think? Nope. £184 from VW only, on back order as well (for 10 days), or i can buy a driveshaft for £475 and get it immediately.

FFS, thats another £368 in parts alone (+£220 if i get someone else to fit them).

Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

.:R tax FTL.

Just aswell you're a southerner with plenty of money

 

[Gally]

Ouch!

 

[bmh.01]

Whats the part number on the CV joint? I've had one recently and it was only £120 and avaliable next day, the part number was the same for every model under the sun for the one I ordered.

Not sure, will find out tomoz - was yours inner/outer?

Looking around i can get front outer, rear inner & rear outer from ECP/GSF, but front inner is VW only

 

[bmh.01]

Inner, just had a look and yep its the same one.

1K0 498 103 A for a new one at £160
1K0 498 103 AX for service exchange at £125

I went service exchange and got it next day, was a new joint as far as I could tell.
