I've got a Golf R had it since 2020. Just look out for leaking water pump issue! I had mine fixed under warranty but it can be expensive to fix. Other than that fingers crossed no issues.
The one I am thinking of buying has just had the water pump done, its a Golf GTI clubsport, I believe these were made In limited numbers , having a test drive soon, I want to compare it to my 997 that I recently sold, from what I’ve been told the gear changes are very quick on the auto

Can be very highly tuned if thats your thing
Are there any known faults to look for in these cars, I am looking on line but can’t really see anything major.
Thanks

Our Country gets more like a dictatorship every day. The stupidity of the laws they are bringing in with these electric cars beggars belief, remember a few years ago when were told Diesel fuel was the way to go and all the manufacturers made Diesel cars. We should have the choice , Petrol, Diesel or Electric.

I don’t know to much about these but apparently some are supposed to be quick, I have just parted with my 997 , the tax is getting beyond a joke with them and it looks like more hikes on the way for cars like that plus I felt like I was always dodging a bullet with bore scoring , anyway I am going to look at a GTI club sport, any views on this one, or should I be looking at another GTI model.
Thanks

Where are we supposed to keep getting all this money, I wonder what the numbers are on people who just can not pay anymore and are not on benefits.

I have had a few Defenders, my experience is, engine 300TDI, best engine landrover ever had, chassis and bulkhead can be very poor and needs properly looking at, if you can find one that’s been fitted with a galvanised one happy days. Parts are relatively cheap and easy to get hold of and not rocket science to maintain. Every defender I’ve had was going to be my last but here I am again starting to look at 90s. Very addictive once you have had one.

I was talking to a farmer yesterday he was telling me about another farmer who was at the Welsh farmers rally with there tractors
where the farmer was talking to some others and got onto the subject of the Welsh minister Drakeford and said in conversation that he needs shooting when he got home he had an armed response team waiting for him and lifted his guns and took his license you really need to careful what you say even in jest
Sums up what this country has become, when I got robbed, tractor , topper , thousands of pounds worth , I got a crime number for my insurance, hurty words said and you get the full force of the law.

My first job working for Fine Fare supermarket if you remember them. Some of the best days of my life, living at home, no responsibilities, motorbike as transport, girls were girls, and the best music.

A new political party is coming, it’s not going to be English, some may argue we have that all ready

I have had to change 2 Pirelli Scorpio tyres on my discovery as they failed the mot, not worn out but cracked between the treads to the core, mot tester said it’s pot hole damage and like most we have plenty around here.

It makes me laugh when you see these politicians and protesters thinking that this country can have a say and other countries listen and act upon it, our governments have only been concerned about green and woke issues, for years, we have gone from a serious player in the world to a country that nobody takes seriously anymore.

At least no one will want to nick that

I have not been for a few years, last time I went you were getting caught in the crush of people there, you could hardly get into the stalls , it may have improved since then.

If insurance companies can make some money on a change you can bet your policy is going up.

There is nothing more expensive than cheap oil. There is a garage near me offering to service my car for less than the cost of the fully synthetic oil that the manufacturer specified. How can they do it? Only by using below spec oil.
When I had a turbo Merc the turbo expert on the owners forum said he believed 90% of turbo failures were down to wrong oil being used. Tracking back on the history of hundreds of turbo failures he could identify back street or cut price servicing. Meaning cheap oil. Turbos run nearly red hot on a motorway and are cooled by the oil being pumped round them. Only top quality synthetic oil can with stand the heat without turning to carbon and blocking the oil ways
This, I have to use Mobile one in my car, it’s not cheap but better than the cost of Engine damage.
