Hi, Thank you all, you have given me everything i think i need to look for a one, i m in no rush. As you hit upon with the water pump, i have a golf 1.9tdi estate, hence the water pump change, its on 180k original clutch so hopefully i can find one before this goes.....

I think ill not be too set on a manual, clutch fail or oil change both have a cost so doesn't make much difference - just hope i don't get another rebuild required (element of luck i guess). But will get the oil changed as soon as i get one if i do. Is the best thing to do a oil dump every 30k or so then instead maybe?

Thank you all for your time explaining what to look for and how to make it last - hopefully i pick a good one now

Thanks all.
