don't get it just because it's "to good to miss" get it cause you want it

Post by: shagmeister on 13 October 2005, 10:45: Servicing, hmmm, my pd is on variable servicing, the first service was 18 thou second 8 thou and the last one will be 20 (the service reminder has just come up).Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â So generally around a 15 thou service, although the next service will include the cam belt change because it has the potential to over run the 60 thou mark before theÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â next service, so gonna be a lil pricey.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â I would go for the tdi, most drives im running low 50's mpg and when we go out for a canning session with my mate in his 1.8t on arrival at the pub he's in the low low 10's and i am high 30's low 40'sÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :rolleyes: so at 30 quid a tank on average we are 15 quid up on the lighter fuel burner straight away. but you do have to use the clutch a whole lot more to use it properly, so if your into working out thats a plus point too!Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â But b prepared for dodgy air con fans, try and find out if they have been modded.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â lets be honest it dont matter either way, the car doesnt have a blue oval badge on the front so it cant be all that bad........................... ta for now shagmeister
