Cheers Len,
It's a 16V actually which is why i was surprised at all the space! But we both definately love the car.


Sorry mate! I dont think there's that much room under a 16v bonnet thats all.

Welcome and good choice!

Guess its only an 8v though if loads of room under bonnet! LOL!

But dont worry about the mileage just run in by Golf standards!

The logbook says that it's a 16V which is why i think it is but like i said it looks small for a 16V so you might be right Len. Sorry if my previous message sounded harsh, did it using my phone which was a pain and didn't read it back before sending it.....
Still trying to learn how to use this site and find some pics of a 16V and an 8V because i really am thinking it's an 8V.... i won't be dissapointed if it is because it's still an excellent car.... did i mention that i picked it up for only £510!!! Will get some pics up tonight

Here's a few pics of the car.... looked a bit of a state when we first picked her up but after a nice polish it came up brilliant!!! Well worth the money...
Len you were right mate it is an 8V!

Not looking at doing anything major to make it stand out (Apart from the bonnet which was on the car when i got it) I do like the bonnet with the mean look to it  :evil:
Hoping to try keep it as standard looking as possible but refit the interior out probably with leather as its slightly worn. The car has already been lowered so might just give the engine an overhaul and i'll be a happy chappy!
