Looks pretty decent on the pics, it’s surprising for how little money mk5’s can be picked up for if you shop around. I’m pretty sure a mate of mine at work went to look at that same black one in London! Told me the same story!

Yeh that black one was a real disappointment especially after driving 185 miles !
The wings have definitely been replaced they are not original, car seems good so far will see how it goes.
Gearbox is abit on the notchy side, ive done some researching on here into that and see alot of info about the input shaft shims for the early mk5's so will have a go at that myself i think.

Before diving in too deep - Do an oil change and linkage re-alignment

Nothing much to update so far, just been using it for the daily commute and getting 30-32mpg so pretty happy with that best ive had going ultra steady is 35mpg.
Only thing ive done so far is use some ValetPro Black to the future on the rear bumper and side skirts, the bumper was really faded so has made a massive difference.

Golf has been fine for the last couple of months until last week it randomly started to bog out and die when setting off occasionally then wouldnt start for anywhere between 5 minutes to a couple of hours, i put my carista on it and it came P310C and P1063 Fuel pressure regulation control range not reached.
I had already got the cam follower kit to do as i didnt know if or when it was last done so bought a new fuel filter to start with and see how it goes.
Managed to do the cam follower yesterday what an arse of a job ! Would have been easy if it wasnt for the dreaded banjo bolt :fighting:
Got it out eventually after a fight so all good now with a new bolt fitted, follower was definitely getting ready for replacement i reckon, also had to do the pcv pipe as i noticed when taking the hpfp out it was taped up and broken.
Still got the fuel filter to do yet.
