Not a chance! A VR with a knackered engine is worth no more than any other mk3 with a shot engine. I'd say your bid of £300 is more like it.

ooh ooh ooh - I know the answer!

It's worth scrap value only.  :grin:

Similar to the value it would have been worth if it was running fine.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
