Hello from a fellow Leicester member @Matt81
Good choice on the car looks like a tidy example. Did you manage to shift your roadster?
Usual things to look out for are diverter valves, pcv valve, cam followers and ignition coils..oh and be wary of rust on the arches and sills and boot handle. Sounds like a horror story but not as bad as it seems!
Matt81:
Morning all,
Had a bit of a bumpy start to ownership.
Missfire on cylinder 4 - replaced coil.
Missfire on cylinder 4 - replaced other coils and fitted new plugs.
Missfire on cylinder 4 - new injector....... FIXED hurrah.
Not really done much so far (just little bits)..
Full Valet
New Bosch wipers all round
New GTI centre caps as VW one's a bit tatty.
New wheel bolt covers all round as existing ones gone white.
Alloy DSG shifters added.
Updated all software and maps on Kenwood.
New sexy boot screen and background added to Kenwood (which I'm having troubles with when trying to use USB). Also set button led colour to match standard blue.
Ordered Heko wind deflectors.
Added VW bottle opener/cup holder.
Added Missile and Ejector seat decals to blank buttons - quality ones not cheap ones. Always make me smile when I see them ;-)
Added edition 30 plaque to ash Tray cover - I know it's the "wrong" place but I like it there.
I've booked in for a cam belt change but the mechanic keeps letting me down. Think I'll have to book in elsewhere and just pay more.
Really want to get pre-cat removed but not sure best place to go to get this done.
Only other plans are Stage 1 remap and performance filter. Otherwise I want to keep it pretty standard.
Sold the Roadster - was very sad to see it go :-(

@Matt81 how much was the injector fix? i have cylinder misfire on 2 and have started with pack so far.
VW leicester did my cam belt and water pump for £250 which i thought was pretty good for main dealer
