Went onto two pages.  Ones of attention include:

Offshore front shock knackered
Nearside control arm has excessive play
Front discs are warped
Both rear tyres have nails in, one has side wall damage.

Since getting it from the garage the clutch has also started to go, revving like crazy after 3,000rpm.  I did however put some part worn tyres onto the back for £30.

Other problems not picked up in the MOT.

Both front door modules are broken
Driver side window is broken
Glovebox is broken
Drivers heated seat is broken

I estimate there's over £1,000 of work needs doing on it.

All in all it's too much for me too fix, it's too much money.  Will be getting something else this year and breaking the Golf for parts  :cry:
