just recently bought an H reg Big-bumper at 137k for £470. The problem is that is there is a crunch from 1st to 2nd. The gear stick also needs pushed down a bit to get into 5th ??... Can this be fixed without emptying my pocket? Also there seems to be a lot of heat omitted from underneath the steering column, is this a normal Mk 2 trait? I’m also living in West London and would really appreciate some advice about a good garage that won't lie and rip me off for the novice that I admit I am!!! Would really appreciate your help folks. Hey apart from that loving the car!!!!!! I think I will be buying these for the rest of my life!
