It's very local to me. And I am more than a bit tempted...

I will ask seller a question or two methinks...



PS Anyone interested in my GTi auto with air con? I could be tempted to part with her... PM if you want more info or want to make an offer... :wink:

Strange. A diesel that `may need new plugs`, the seller has one of the most bizarre feedback notes I`ve seen and they seems to be laughing at the dashboard. WTF is all that about :?:
Still, a very clean looking car.

I agree, Billy, hence the questions to seller! I'll report back if I get a reply.

By plugs, I guess glowplugs ?

I think he means glowplugs Phil, my TZd was the same, was fine when it was dummer but when it got cold took a few turns, cheap job and easy to fix.

Well, pending a reply to my question(s), I am probably going to go for it. Wonder what the reserve is? What do you (collectively) reckon it's worth?

£400 I would say. Considering how tidy it looks, you need to view and drive it though Phil. All i would say is look at the sellers rating (minus 1) :shock: . You need to see it and sound the seller out.

I was being pedantic/facetious chaps (for the first time ever!). Looks a nice car, good luck if you go for it Philip.

I have had quick and helpful replies off the guy, who accepted plastic won't rust and say's its more of a paint defect/minor damage... :roll:

My TXD has the same problem as did the TZD i sold Mulley, the piant seems to blister and lift with age, its a easy fix.
