Well mine is used quite irregularly so no new problems have arisen, take it out for occasional blat in the dry.

I know whats wrong with it but have not got the space to list it all here. ;D

Mine will be used through the winter months, don't anticipate any problems (except some traction issues ;D).
Thats the good thing about mk1's, no costly electronics to go wrong and when they do break down (if ever ;)) it is usualy something that anyone with basic skills can repair. Not like some newer (and slower? ;)) cars where you need a costly scan tool to tell you that a very expensive main stealer only part 'may' fix it.

I'm still working on my turbo conversion. I hope to have it ready by March but I?m still unsure whether to strip it all down and spray it so it could turn into March 2005 ;D
