[Paffel]

Well, I picked up this car today;

(Pass: swedishbarge)

I'll be breaking it over the next few weeks so everything is up for grabs.

It drives well, aside from the gearbox orange arrow light on the dashboard being on. Only when booting it from slow the gearbox judders until you ease off a little.
No smoke from the back on the 40 mile trip, even when booting it, and it goes well. Turbo must be alright, but i'll confirm when I've took it out.

Has electric heated front black leather seats (tested drivers one - works, will test passengers next time I go up), dark grey door cards and dash, with wooden trim.

Had about £3000 spent on it over the last 5 years so a lot of the stuff has been replaced.

Still, put your requests on here, and i'll investigate the parts and let you know the conditions/price.

I'll be busy most of the week/next week, but after then should be good to take bits off. Small/easily accessible bits, I could probably do quickly.

Hi Paffel - How much sag is there in the drivers seat? How much for the seats? Could you also do the looms from the main loom to the power seat control?
And BTW just read your AWD thread - looking smart - nearly bought a Tdi in that colour a while back - I think it really suits them.

hi rough price on power steering pipe that comes from reservoir and goes to rack , its a alloy pipe that goes into a high pressure pipe which goes to rack cheers billy lpool

Hi Tim,

Not the best cosmetically, drivers one (pictured in link above) but passengers one is slightly more worn. Usual wear on bolsters. They were plenty comfortable when I was sitting in it today for an hour.
I can do all 5 seats (i'd want to sell them as a lot really) plus wiring (up to main loom) for £80 collected. They are bulky - i'm not sure if I have anything that I could package them in.
I'll take some pictures for you next time I go up the shed.

Cheers! Yea its getting there. MOT Thursday though, so that is crunch time. At least I've got plenty of spares at the moment!!!

Hi Bill,
If its the pipe i'm thinking of (unions on either end, runs from reservoir, towards the nearside and down under the engine), you can have it for a tenner- with p+p shall we say £13?
Again, i'll check all works alright no leaks, etc.

hi that's the one , comes out of reservoir which is alloy pipe then goes to front of engine into rubber pipe with union on then goes down front of engine to rack . price is fine pm re-details payment cheers ,

I actually have 3 armrests, 2 with good cupholders, if anyone wants one let me know - £10 plus p+p each.

Yep got all the bits, thanks for those

I'd imagine it would being the same model an' all. I've not had a good look at it but i'm not sure whether its a genuine one or not - want me to get you some more info first Nathan?
Happy for you to come and have a brew - be good to see the old girl again if you pop over.

Next time I go to Aus I may let you know; they're $50 (£30) each over there as they aren't that common.
