Certainly a friendly bunch the Mk 4 lot  :nerd:

'Damage' as he is now known - not sure why - is 2000 on an X reg. I'm the third owner and theres a teeeeeny (for a VW) 78K on the clock.

First on the list is a full service as it keeps bleeping at me on start up (not used to that from a MK1...), then need a couple of tyres, oh, and mats. I need car mats!

Anyone know if it needs a cambelt change? It had one at 50K, and i'm not sure if it needs one now. I read somewhere it used to be every 40K, but then in the back of my head i had there was an engine change at some point that meant it only needed doing every 60K?

Hmmmm...
