Cheers again - like i said new to this game !! lol 

This is no game, this is real life

Is yours the same colour as mine chap? If so what reg? I think my paint code is somthing like LC6P or something, there's a sticker in the boot of your car that has it on, underneath the carpet

Aye the same colour - think its classed as dragon green - had a look at that paint chart and it says LC6P as well - VW is pretty far from me - will they send it out do you think ??

Damn I got it right lol! It's Dragon Green but I heard there are too shades, the early models had a slightly lighter shade whereas the later models (ie mine being a 1996) had a slightly darker shade. I actually had a badgeless grill sprayed for me, the chap took my petrol flap to Halfords to get the paint mixed and it was a perfect match.

I'm in the same position as you, need to touch up the rust. Summer job that though.

Mine is a 97 R - just checked under the carpet - L26U it says !!!!

My car has done 130k  but still pulls strong.
Its due some TLC this week when I get paid, new filters, plugs, and leads and oil change for being a good girl.
And aye mine is dragon green as well.

That'll be your paint code then chap. Guess mine might be the older one then?

had this mk 3 over 2 years now, not once broken down, only ever had one problem which was the ignition switch but it didnt stop me using the car when it happened,  i got it in bits at the roadside and figured out if i held the wire that goes to the ignition switch it would start and drive.. so i tied it to another wire and drove it for 2 weeks like this till i got round to fixing it hahahaha..

Got back last night after driving to and from Norwich to Cognac in South France in my 96 16v GTi
Car sat at 80mph most of the way  and was returning 38mpg on the way down and 36mpg on up.

I loved driving over there, bigger better quality roads, and they are all empty so you can piss about doing what you like! - FTW!
