Just bought 16v on ebay!

very tidy!

Old and new cars go wrong all the time but try and stick to VW parts and they should last that extra bit longer.

Keep us posted on how the trip home goes.  .......& good luck.

i have the same prob gettin 5th gear when mine gets to running temp. i just live w it, i think if i mess could make it worse. it helps if i push the gearstick down (like when you choose reverse) when engaging 5th.

nice car thou. shame he didnt vac the drivers foot well before taking pics for ebay. 

just have a steady ride back, check all fluids b4 setting off, keep an eye on the gauges and listening for odd noises.

Ok well unfortunately the deal fell through 

It was a mutual thing and no bad feelings ( I wasn't a tosser I promise!) but looks like the car will be relisted on ebay just to let you all know. If it was closer it would have been a bit easier, I would have bitten the guys hand off at that price. So take a look if your down that way at what looks like a bargain.

I will be back if I can source a similar deal soon!
