Thought i should make a thread seeing as it looks like its going to be hanging around for a while 
Purchased few months ago as a non runner for £400 but with the following good points:
- Tidy bodywork for age
- 9 months MOT
- New clutch
- gti6 interior
- new tyres

Aaaaaaand the following bad points of course
- Non runner
- N/S Door loom damaged
- O/S door check strap damaged
- Mark on front & rear bumper
So no time was wasted!.....
I lie, it sat in the carpark outside mine without even being looked at for 2 months but then with winter approaching i decided to get it sorted. Dropped it off at my mates garage and anxiously awaited a big bill..
Received a call 2 days later.. "Alright mate, pugs done. ECU was knackered but i had a spare HDi in the yard so swapped it all over. £100 sound ok?"
So now the car is fully functioning and only owes me £500! Winner!
Pressed it into daily service immediately
