Money is the main reason though, could've easily chucked more money at them to make them reliable really. And at least you've got a decent work space to do stuff.
You might want to check the pronunciation on that, but i think you'll find it's actually spelt "patience and perseverance".
Not really. Golf would've cost far too much to make reliable, it died because I did it on a budget. And the HDis just fall apart when used daily, clutch, cat, beam, turbo, rust etc killed off the estate workhorse, sure I could've spent its value to make it reliable, but there's no justifying that for me lol.

other than me being a dufus with the oil cooler and not fitting ARPs in the first place...
Mine is fine. 208 whp
Be even more reliable if i sacked off this iritating arduino mess!
I use it daily. Happily tows trailer for work
Doesn't the clutch slip? And how much have you spent on all the uprated parts etc? More than its value probably... Also I don't call shitting oil and headgaskets reliable, whether your fault or not.
