Shagged as a shagged thing then. I much preferred the earlier square ones. They drove better and felt a lot more solid.

I had one that shape and loved it, was pretty quick and went around corners much better than it had any right to made it a sort of Q car as lads in GTIs didn't expect it to go like it did. In fact I wanted one after being behind a Police V70 T5 on the M25 as it slowed the trafic to 50mph for a few miles, then it just fucked off and I couldn't keep up. I was in my Golf GTI...

Not shown - inner door release handle fixed. Door panel clips replaced as it was held only by the pull hane.

Engine Fumes in cabin- hmmm. Something missing here.

The breather runs past the inlet manifold- replacement means removal 😁

Replaced battery (slow cranking).

Intermittent EML is now considerably less so - O2 sensor signal inaudible or similar. We'll see on that one.

ABS lamp is steering angle sensor signal. I suspect worn out based on mileage. Will see if I can recalibrate initially, based on literally everything being removed and refitted poorly on the interior. 😁
