Anyone fix/want a 98 Golf with a knackered timing belt?

[Famous Graham]

A neighbour's just had hers go and she's been quoted 1700 quid to fix it. Can't vouch for any other mechanical wossnames, but it certainly looks in decent nick for its age.

Can't help but think that 1700 seems excessive, mind, but I know bugger all about Golfs.

where's the car? i'm looking for a winter run around so might be interested at the right price?

[emicen]

How much are we talking to take it?

Fix will depend on what's hit what I reckon

Same here wouldnt mind it to fix and use as a run about.

Tis in Edinburgh, off Leith Walk (Balfour Place). As for price, I dunno really, it was a passing conversation that just prompted me to post.

I can pass on emails or something?

[Deekster]

Dropped you an email bud

[Famous Graham]

Yep, got it, ta. I can't guarantee how soon there'll be a reply though, as my neighbour's often out. I'll pass it on as soon as I can, though

I'll find out the mileage in the meantime.
