Gotta do it unfortunately. We share the cost and its going to work out pricey.

The upshot is we're going joint on the upgrade. Might be getting a 130 or 150bhp MK4 Diesel. Here's hoping...

The online book value i can access is parkers which rates it at that.

Also cars on the south coast are a little more than up north. Seems to be the going rate on Autotrader.

Who do you reckon 'the burningman' is? he's got to be from honestjohn. I saw some of your threads on honest john, i read the one about chipping a vr6, i don't know how you can write on there without swearing at them. Unbelieveably ignorant and arrogant people.

Cheers mate. I actually MOT'd it this morn (always intended to sell it when MOT'd) and it only went a passed thru first time. great!

As it looks so damn good at the moment - really clean, tidy and running so smoothly after the recent service along with this mornings MOT pass i'm kinda tempted to keep it now!

Jeez, i'll feel like a bird of i keep changing my mind.

Regards HJ site i go on for a bit of an argument. I'm sure if i put any words harsher than 'stupid' in a post it would cut out they're so anal. I hope my chip post read ok. I like to disagree with them - a lot! nobjockeys.
