Post by: monkeeboi on 16 June 2006, 21:49: :cool:alright fella. found one! it's an 8v on a j plate. cam belt has slipped, turns over but doesn't fire so i think it could be (possibly) ok. booked in at coggins a week on monday to do the pully kit & belt & timing & pressure test. so, you never know, i might get a gti for about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£200. nice one! although if it is f***ed i've been offered a mk3 lump for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£300. a 1.9 too. family is good thanks m8. speak soon

Post by: silkyballs on 18 June 2006, 01:48: booked it in???? are you mad?i could have done all that for ya!oh well!where did it come from? if they put the engine in its gonna cost you a fortune dude it will then become a Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£1000 gti???give me a shout il come and have a look at it.if it turns over it could still have lots of problems?? :undecided:
