lunalupi Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Mine has self-healing bushes too - got a warning on his first MOT with me, not mentioned them since......having gone through another 2!Price sounds good for all of that - priced it up as mine is due again this year, came to £110ish for all the parts (cambelt kit, waterpump, filters minus air, spark plugs...) then labour and MOT on top.

Silver! Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 No new pic's, just a new MOT and annual service.(May) 02 Plate, 29,000miles, new exhaust cat back 6 weeks ago, new MOT today: needed new discs and pads. Otherwise fit and healthy, no warnings.Well not fit in the sporty sense, but fit in the world of MOT certificates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 So we've all seen the pic's of the GTi fully loaded, if not see my sig, but I wanted to see how the little 1.0 MPi would cope.So I fitted the bars and roof box, put the back seats down and loaded her up with camping equipment, TSO and the dog and headed off for a weekend in the Scottish Borders: Lauder to be precise.Here's a couple of pic's...With our new weekend hotel...She actually coped very well. Not the quickest off the mark, but then she's not that even without the extra load, but she coped really well and covered about 250 miles with no trouble.

Silver! Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 i remember the joys of an overloaded 1.0cars looking good btwCheers!I was quite surprised how effortless it seemed. I was expecting slow crawls up the long hills, but she kept the momentum going well. Just don't slow down too much!The GTi will be going on the next couple of camping trips; Beadnell, Northumberland and Tarland Deeside, to cope with the miles and big hills.

Boy'dup Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yeah you definately have to take on a whole new driving style but you can keep up with the traffic the 1.0's are mighty little enginesthey can be used and abused, my 1.0 was way more fun than the 1.4 i have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well I didn't take the GTi after all. So here we go from: near to sea level to the highest public road in Britain, all fully loaded of course!She done herself proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I like it on the Tarantulas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 ...i do need to get some awesome pics, like these of him in said manner though! hahaThank you and yes you do. Show the luurrrrv for the 50 horses.I like it on the Tarantulas. Thank you, as do I. It really needs to go lower, but it needs to be sensible too.-45mm springs, 165/60/13 tyres (-19mm over standard 155/70/13) means its lowered by approx. 64mm overall. I asume it's settled on the springs too.Wouldn't believe it looking at the arch gap though. I may have to get the 14s back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
