Hi all, I've just bought one. Because it was there. The vendor, a mate needed funds quickly so I thought I'd do the decent thing and help him out.

I don't claim to know the first thing about them so was kinda looking for some pointers as to what to watch for, weak points and so on. It's in good nick and going by the bills i have in front of me it's had a fair few bob (12k!!!!) spent on upgrades by the owner before my Mate.

Oh and by fook is it quick.

I did a search but not a lot came up.

Cheers.

Hey thanks Dr G.

Nothing really concerning me at the mo, I only picked it up today. The bushes have got a mention on the MOT cert so that's something I'd need to sort and the dash LCD is bitty, if you get my drift!!
The airbag light is on too. Fixable?

It wasn't a lot of money so I took a chance. My mate hasn't really had any probs so I guess as with any car you just have to suck it and see. I'll certainly not let it worry me.

I remember years ago a chap I used to work with had an original Quattro and you mentioning the manifolds cracking rung a bell as he used to worry about that being one of the major expenses on it. Same cause would you say?

Cheers all, the bush kit sounds like a good thing, where would I get that from?

Woto Nick, how's it going mate? Cerb parked up at Austec still? laugh

Forgot you had one.

To hijack my own thread for a minute, I've been talking to Jim and Steve about a Blatters resurrection, up for it?

It's Cactus Green.smile

Thanks.

Next question, I'm a bit handy with a spanner but is it a garage job? I've no access to lifts, presses and all that sort of gear.
