what is the normal rpm for a gti 8v to idle at?
Also forgot to mention my car has a gti owners sticker on the front window near the mirror. Hopefull when i get to post pics up i might be able to get hold of the previous owner.

Also my golf has a full closure alarm/ immobaliser do you normally get slips with theses. I dont have one :( anyone know where i can get one from

Should idle somewhere just under 1,000 revs when it's heated up (at least that's what mine does!!)

And if your alarm is thatchems approved you should have a certificate to revify that it's been properly installed (your insurance company might want a copy) if you haven't got one you can go to any alarm installers and they can check out the alarm and, if it's up to scratch, give you a certificate.

the alarm depends on the make/model for insurance.....all later golfs came with an alarm and immobiliser as standard but its not insurance approved!! have a look at the keyfob or alarm box and see what make it is...and if it is aftermarket try a google search for a local fitter and get it recertified

Looks quite tidy, someone's even gone to the trouble of putting a roof aerial on (normally only on 16v/VR's)
