Thanks
. I've probably made the Golf sound worse than it is tbh, from looking around on here they seem to be fairly common problems as well as general age related wear and tear. The list as it stands goes something along the lines of:
Rev limiter cutting in at 5k (timing issue I believe)
Had a problem with it refusing to start and then cutting out when it did at the weekend (going to try cleaning out the throttle body first)
Horrendous Scorpion exhaust that's loud enough to wake the dead and vibrates off the underside of the car
(will replace with standard and throw the Scorpion on eBay)
Neither window on the driver's side works (wiring into the doors looks ok and I can hear the motors click when switches are pressed so think it's knackered regs)
Bump strip on driver's door has been siliconed on at some point rather than replacing the broken clips, it's currently in the boot
Broken clips on passenger rear bump strip
Boot spoiler falling apart
Knackered aerial seal and mast (easy fix)
Horrible JVC headunit and speakers that work as and when they feel like it and generally sound horrible
That's about it, nothing major really it just needs a little bit of love. I did only pay £350 with 4 months tax and a month of MOT left so I don't mind spending a little bit of time and money on it assuming the MOT doesn't throw up anything major.
