Am now selling the GTI, spent a lot of money getting it upto scratch and must admit, I don't like it as it's too small, and it's red, not exactly my favourite colour!!

anyway

1991 J reg Mk2 Golf GTI (Big bumper version)
Totally original barring a JVC MP3 player
ABS
Heated washer jets
Power Steering
Sunroof
Clifford alarm/immobiliser
Grey "Rainbow" interior
Bluetooth car kit (Sony-Ericson)
Original Pirelli P slot alloys
Original exhaust in excellent condition
Spare set of 5 spoke alloys
New arm rest/centre console
I've just rebuilt the gear lever linkage with new bushes/push rods
New reverse switch as the old one only worked when it wanted to
Also just done a full service - timing belt, drive belts, spark plugs, HT leads, distributer cap, rotor arm, ignition coil, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, Magnatec oil, fresh coolant/antifreeze
New rear wiper motor
New N/S rear door handle
Engine has good compression - 140PSI from each cylinder from an engine that's done 131000 miles, and it runs sweetly, though it don't like 95RON fuel, so only super unleaded.
Does 40MPG easily, I used to do £50-60 a week of fuel in the Scooby, but I do the same milage and costs me £15-20 in the GTI
The bodywork is in excellent condition, and the bumpers/skirts etc are like new

£1750

 

WHOO HOO, already got someone interested from Piston Heads!!

 

What are you getting now mate

 

not got any pictures lol

 

I fancy something totally different now and want a Jeep Cherokee!

That's how much I like the Golf - so much so that I never took any pics of it!!!

 

Jeep???? please not a petrol auto worse than a scooby

 

worse than a scooby? blimey

 

I run a jeep cherokee as a commuter through the lanes it is ideal in winter, turbo diesel tho ..............an old battle bus, great for the dogs in the back and the kids and can leave it anywhere, and love the annonimity.........got mine off fleabay, bargain


No morer worrying about scraping kerbs with alloys again, and gt 4x4 breakers in basildon have stacks of spares for them......

 

Or a Mitsi Pajero, So many toys for so little outlay .

And I know of a Scooby owner that uses his Pajero so much more now than his Subaru.

 

Agreed, a mate at work has one and it drinks so much petrol!

 

Just
Enough
Essential
Parts

 

Yep, a 4.0 litre straight 6 petrol

well, seeing as though a fair amount of them have an LPG conversion, and I work for calor gas, I get it for about 35p a litre with staff discount

 

All part of the fun

 

welcome aboard Cornelius mate

I'm glad you join us mate i will be honest and say that i miss the scooby to bits, but my new toy is way much better than the scooby.

Although it is juicy, and i averaged 15 miles to the galon. all the toys and extra's really make up for it.

Its so comfortable, and a beast to drive

The Grand Cherokee LTD is by far the one to go for Paul. So much on it mate

 

15 MPG? not far off the scooby!

Got a guy coming tonight to check over the Golf, so hopefully it's bye bye GTI, if it does go, I'll be giving you a call John

 

You got a flamer kit for it yet John???

 

Did it go?

 

Its like driving around in your archair lol
15 to the gallon No wonder everyone goes for LPG

 

No, the bloke didn't turn up:

though got a plan B, which should happen tomorrow.......hopefully

 

If it is still for sale, I might know someone who is interested. I tried to send him the piston heads link, but couldn't find your car. Could you send the link to me so I can forward it on?
