Did somone say Blue :cool:

Gaz these little things are like baby golfs and the mk2 polo 1.3 carbs go like stink. trust me they are good for A-B driving and wiked on fuel consumption and also great for ragging the sh!t out of :grin: You will be handbreaking it all over the place. they are just pure fun and jokes :grin:

as far as i know they do have common leak problems like rocker gaskets and water sometimes leaks on the heater fan and causes it to squeek

Just a smaller mk2 golf. Same common rust areas aswel. cant think of anything else to say :rolleyes:

Enjoy :grin:

I had one of those Blue, it was my first car  :laugh:
The car Gaz is looking at is the mk3 polo(the next model), it is similar, but also has the improvement of vacuum servo assisted brakes  :laugh:

I'll be using mine as a daily runabout as from Thursday. Great, fun little car and as already said, basically a mini-golf. It feels really nippy and apparently should return at least 40mpg.

I bought mine for £75 and had to replace the rear box and handbrake cable to get it through the MOT. Since then I removed the rear number plate and surrounding trim and found some minor corrosion around there but nothing major and well nipped in the bud. Bottom of the A pillars aren't too clever and again I have nipped that in the bud but will need to do something more permenant in the future to make it look perfect..........if I can be arsed.
