say you stop gap car costs about 500 quid then you have the f*ck on of getting funds back up for the golf. so if you go that route you mite aswell sell the golf on for spare repair.
No I have worked this out already.......I can change the turbo and hopefully the DMF while the cars off the road if I have a stop gap car, that saves on all those labour costs for a start!
The stop-gap gives me a change and something petrolly so I dont get bored with one car, and I'm spending no more than £500 on it so can get back most of what I paid in May.
May is when the insurance runs out so the golf will be freshly done for the start of the new insurance, sell the stop gap, and have a fully working golf again.
Edit - Oh and have you tried finding a 130 or 150 turbo...its near enough impossible, I've been looking for months lol.
