Thinking of selling soon, I need a derv! Advise me if u can pls.
« on: 19 April 2012, 10:33 »
As above,

I do 30-40k per year and doing this on v-power alone is proving rather expensive.

Can anyone recommend me a derv for 6-8k which still has a bit of poke whilst maintaining decent mpg?

Still torn between that and saying fcuk it, full exhaust, stage two map and a few other bits, but that will obviously rape the fuel bill, you only live once and whilst I can, why not!   :grin:

MK4's are only good if they have been looked after & as you said be lucky to get one with low mileage, saying that mine has done over 135k now but the mrs is still using daily to do a lot of miles & never had any issues.

Im sure you could pick up a lot better than a Mk4 for the money you want to spend.  :cool:
