Got any simple fixes for that? Or is a dead case unlike the Mk4 that corners just as well?  :rolleyes: :grin:

Aftermarket suspension and uprated anti-roll bars and maybe front and rear struts - think of it like a body without a skeleton... you have to provide the scaffolding to keep it in shape  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

I loved our VR6. It was that purple colour that cost a cr@p load to get resprayed and it was stunning.
My mom had a corsa and then my dad threw her into the VR6 as her car and she admits she loved it so much and then a BMW 3 series which was like going back to a corsa again and then the GTI  :evil:

According to my grandfather (a very wise man) who has thrashed both the VR6 and our GTI. This Mk5 knocks the pants off everything he has ever driven.

no luck with the MK3 GTI...found out there is a problem with the idle when you start the car and something wrong with the battery... :cry:

Its for the best Manu - believe me...  :wink:  Now dry your tears and buy a Mk2 8 or 16v - you'll wonder what you saw in the Mk3 in the first place - I did when I changed from a Mk3 to Mk2... it was a revelation  :kiss:
