Yeah midland vw have a good reputation.  Good price if that includes the engine too.

If while you're ringing round, you come accross dubshack.  Avoid them at all costs.  Mate of mine had a vr done there, he did have his bay smoothed too.  Took em over 6 months! I know theres alot of work in smoothing a bay etc, but even so 6 months is a long time!

As said.. thats a good price, and you know that when you get it back from midlandvw everything will work as it's supposed to.

But why not buy one thats already had all the work done.. including brakes etc.

I was tempted by this one myself, but i'd have to supercharge it, and use it as a daily runner... not too economical :grin:
