Hello peeps,
I'm Hayley known as Chappers to most in the car scene (VAG, SCC, SCN etc).
Just sold my SEAT LCR to clear the extremely expensive finance and got myself a run around - VW Golf GTi 2.0 8v, R '97, 125k on the clock for £1k...didn't think that was too bad a price.
Needs a new power steering pump which I've sorted (Golf Nuts, Middlewich), needs a little tlc ie. loads of stone chips on the bonnet/front bumper, 2 small bubbly rust patches on passenger doors and condensation probs inside.
So any advice will be gratefully received and I'll gladly buy anyone a beer or 2 :)
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice as this is my first 'older' motor, always bought new-2yrs old with warranties.
Take it easy

Hi Chappers
I've just joined the forum myself. In Manchester as well and just bought a Mk3 with 120k on it. Probably find out you live next door now!
I need to get a tiny bit of body work sorted as well. Do you have any recommends for body shops round here? I've heard thare's a decent one in Urmston.

Hi Si,
I live in Heald Green 3 miles from the airport.
I've got a few mates that have lived in Urmston all their lives, so hold fire....they might know someone there and we can maybe take both our cars there together and get a deal ;)
I'm off to Golf Nuts in Middlewich tomorrow morning to get some odd bits that I need, so if you need bits too might be worth you coming along :)
Drop me a text or give me a ring and we'll sort something out about the paintwork (07725 004885).
Take it easy

Hi Haley. That's a bugger. I'm flying out tomorrow for a couple of days' work. Would have been good to come to Golf nuts with you - find out where it is and all that. I need a near side rear light cluster (mine's melted) and a bulb holder for my off side repeater (corroded). I'm only in Levenshulme so not far at all. I'll stick your number on my moby and drop you a text re the bodyshop. Did I mention that I'm a dangerous stalker with previous convictions for odd behaviour? Hope that's not a problem!

Got my power steering pump (£25) and replacement GTi gear stick/knob/gaiter etc (£5); he's texting me when a MK3 steering wheel appears as mine is loose fitting and there's lots of movement. He had loads of goodies, it was like walking into Aladins cave!!! :shocked:
I'm still looking into the paintjob stuff and will update you shortly.
Cheers
Hayley
ps I don't mind having a friendly VW stalker buddy....I'll add you to the SEAT stalker buddies who are camped outside my house :rolleyes:

This guy has been highly recommended by my 2 mates that live in Flixton, he said he can't really quote over the phone and would need us to pop down which would only take 10mins to quote but to give us a rough guide a bonnet respray is approximately £150.00. They would need the cars for 2-3 days but unfortunately don't have courtesy cars.

Let me know when you're free and we'll go along together and see what deal we can drum up....I'll even wear my lowcut cleavage top that day :smug:

welcome to the forum hun :smiley:

Nice one Hayley :smiley:
The other one that has been recommended is Urmston Body Repair Centre which someone on the forum has recommended and the guys at Sale VW recommended separately (I had mine serviced there last week and they were good). Maybe I'll give the Urmston guys a call as well. I'm off for 2 weeks' hols from Saturday lunchtime so a drive over to Flixton would have to be after 8th December if possible. Unless you have any days off during the week. I might be able to slink away for a couple of hours one afternoon this week. I'll drop you a text anyway once I've check what I've got on.
I suppose the cars won't rot away in the next 2 weeks mind you.
Speak soon anyway

I tried ringing the Urmston guys today but was engaged, then I had to shuffle paperwork around on my desk and look busy :wink:
I'll give them a buzz tomorrow. I may be able to bunk off Wed afternoon from 2pm onwards but other than that no chance as I've got meetings/interviews all week plus I travel down south on Fri morning for the weekend.
Famous last words...it's not like they'll rot away in 2wks, so after the 8th Dec will be fine if we don't make it this week.
-
Yeah I might be OK Wed afternoon but I'll need to check my outlook diary tomorrow. Make sure I've got no meetings booked in or anything. I'll drop you a text tomorrow.

Welcome to the forum - please ignore all the weirdo's who have posted before me, the forum is actually a nice place to be! :laugh:

Simple question... why?
If people are that bothered by it then they would have gone and had a look by themselves without the need for it to be highlighted. You don't go into all the blokes threads and say "oh just so you know there is a pic of him and his motor in the what do you look like thread"
Christ.
-
Well instead of jumping on all my comments coz you wanna try and show me up I suggest you first look back a page ot two and you will see that requests were made for pics!
I was just providing a service to others. In my usual helpful manner unlike some!
-
I don't need to make any effort in showing you up. You do that perfectly well by yourself.
Strange though isn't it how you float around all the new lasses like a fly to sh!t. :rolleyes:
-
At least I'm open about it and dont go around hiding in the shadows!

Handbags !

Ha ha ha, let me think, 50+, fat, and a wannabe crooner. Get a f**king grip on your life len. Perhaps if you paid more attention to your wife, than you do to the women on the internet then you wouldn't be seen as such a dirty old perv. :rolleyes:
-
True but a great little mover! :wink: :grin:
Wife gets all the attention and loving she needs and more! Never had any complaints! :smug:
Thats why I have been married for over 35 years! :smug:
