Rich, the Beetle looks mint and if that floats you boat then fine. :laugh:

However like most on this forum have already said, I'd not go from a Golf to A beetle looking to have it a regular car used everyday and still expecting great reliability.

Sure it could well be ultra reliable but if you have any distance to drive on a regular basis I personally don't think the beetle is the right car to do it in. :undecided:

decision made....

found a very good vw specialist in the NW not far from me thats to lewizkid  :wink: (you beaut...) seem to know exactly what wrong with all the little faults:

- the oil warning light coming on at idle is the bearings
-going to raise it slightly to stop scrubbing over speed bumps
- fix the horn and get air horn put on
-could be the central locking draining the battery. going to diagnose and new cat 1 alarm to be installed proffessionally is onyl 180 notes- compared with 350 i got quoted by the clifford buggers.

Going to cost me a few hundred quid which is alot. But after that she should be sweet as a nut, and a few bits of bodywork done for the shows in the summer.

Plus im not sure the beetle is me...

Long live the cab!  :smiley:
