Thanks for the comments.. Yeah it's a totally different car from the Rs but the Golf is also a great car to drive.

I've been looking at some genuine xenons in the for sale section from silent dubber but can not Pm him yet??

Looks very nice mate  :happy2:

Not so much in the way of mods but do you know if the cam follower has been changed at all? If not it will be worth the £30 to change it  :happy2:

My ED30 is my first VW as well although if i could of afforded it i would of loved to have had a MK2 RS  :drool: Any pictures of your old car?

Hi mate, not sure about the cam followers but does have full service history with the car.

Here's a few pics of my Rs.. Had to sell one of my toys as I'm moving house..

MK2 Rs and an Escort Cossie, barsteward!!! Very, very nice mate  :happy2:

As for the cam follower i very much doubt it has been changed, not recognised as part of a service as far as i know.See here http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,63787.0.html and here http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,8339.0.html
