Re: VW TDI 140 or 170 bhp ?

Mark 5 Golfs - rotten front wings, rotten sills plus VAG nonsense. Such as the cambelt tensioner stud that due to fine thread and shallow depth will either break off after a belt change if not changed, or will pull the threads of the head if replacement is attempted. ABS pump failure can be a nightm...

Re: Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.

No because BMW make loads of cars and lots of money. I don’t want any of them but they are very healthy.

They are lowest common denominator landfill.

Look at the junk they make now. Arkana, Austral, Autistic, Appalling plus all the Peugeot and Citroen rubbish.

Those Fiat 126’s really were dogshit.
