Had a manual for nearly two years and it really was flawless. You'd get a good one for 10k too.
Cheers hooch, even since I was a young lad a Golf GTI was my dream car but never owned one...since buying BMWs I always seem to just stick with them. My neighbour always has GTI DSGs for long time now...they do look good.Quote:

From what I'e heard I would steer clear of any of the VW/Audi DSG type boxes. They are more trouble that they are worth. Do a search and you'll read plenty about their trouble.
Relative to the numbers sold the problems tend to be minimal and as far as I know VW have recalls in place dealing with major issues. I've known a few guys running serious power through DSG boxes in both Edition 30 GTI's and R32's with no problemsQuote:

Thanks Gar, that ticks the boxes in terms of spec and styling I think...ad mentions its on NI plates so guess VRT needs to be added.Quote:

My bad completely missed the n.i bit
No worries, I appreciate all the effort and suggestions. I have ready access to 10k so that's the easy budget option, plus I need something by Jan 16th. If I want to go significantly higher in budget it would be February and not having a 2nd car for a few weeks would be a nightmare I feel.Quote:
