    TT is nicely kept, i told her if she cant find the receipts for the haldex and timing belt been done i wont be buying it though.
    Id be changing the wheels on the cupra first thing, nice little rocket though for 2800.
    insurance on the TT is only 650e fully comp, its just finding a nice 225bhp one is difficult!
    insurance on rx8 is twice the amount, but its so special and Ive talked to MM about them so much at this stage I feel obliged to get one :D Id be low balling any rx8 seller though
    I read bad things about the dealer selling the volvo in the last hour.
    Not sure white suits the e39 but the spec and condition/mileage is amazing.
    325 is probably my favourite of all the cars looks wise, dont think I could get another one though, and he can feck off with 6k!

    Buy the TT, I want a spin :pac:

    You'll be hard pressed to find a car that will feel faster to drive than that Cupra.

    For sure, interior is a bit spartan though and he needs to find the receipts for the work he said has been done to it, its due a timing belt change also.

    A TT 300zx sub 5k will be rough as feck tbh.

    The cupra and TT with the 225 bhp powerplant would be a good bet tbh

    The most insurance friendly 3.0TT is the Toyota Aristo. Basically a Lexus GS300 with the easily tunable to 400hp+ Supra 2JZ-GTE engine but are getting harder to find.

    You could pick up a clean one cheap enough.

    I disconnected the EGR on the Daily the other day. MPG's seem to have drastically improved.... A journey that normally takes half a tank now takes a quarter and a bit :eek: much more responsive, less throttle needed to keep it at speed.... Feck all smoke from it either!

    The valve itself works correctly, opens under vacuum, closes otherwise. Solenoid also working fine. So it was working as it should

    Why are these c*nts of emission controls on vehicles??!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

    More testing will have to be done next week.... It used to average 19mpg :cool:

    Partly laziness and partly because I just prefer autos for a more relaxed drive; no matter what the car.

    I've driven autos for years now and the only thing I would make an exception for would be a track car.
