Jord, my mate has got a VR6 raddo with light front damage (still drives), it's got about 85k on the clock. He's a lazy git and it's been sat on his drive for about 18months now since he smacked it.
If you offer him £1000 the whole thing is yours, easy repair if you want a raddo or cheap low mileage VR6 lump to rip out the sell interior etc.
The car is near cambridge, give me a shout if interested.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

The VR6 lump will be cheaper and if you find an entire Mk3 VR6 you'd be able to get all the bits. They're not expensive, I've seen VRs go for less than a grand, one sold yesterday on ebay, whole car, running for £400.

G60 would be fun, and slightly unusual in a Mk3 Cab, but harder to find and install and the running costs would be high due to  reconditioning the charger.

How about a chipped Mk4 TDI engine ?

Jord, contact Tony at Automotive Solutions who did your suspension, he's got 2 vr's breaking, one 2.9 Raddo and a 2.8 Mk3.

You never know he might just do you a deal!!

Erm, I think Tony might be using the top end from the Golf and the 2.9 bottom from the Raddo for my mate Dave's car. He is planning on converting his 90 spec 16v...

Plus Jord, Tony at Automotive Solutions said he has experience of using a charger kit from america on Vr6s, could be a BBM kit I guess....

Keep and eye out for a Mk3 vr6 with a smack in the back. Gotta be the easiest conversion.
