As far as I'm aware the car has a cat but no DPF as for an EGR I couldn't say.Fortunately for this trip I was merely chauffeur to get them there and if she bought it[which of course she did] to act as route planner/lead car to get home again avoiding motorways so she could drive it.
Well she bought it. '03 plate 5door MkIV Golf 1.9 with the PD100 engine.200,000mls MoT history was good with not only any fail points put right but any advisories too. A good fistful of receipts for parts/fitting seems to show it's been well looked after mechanically and it had a new clutch+DMF in May.Bodywork a bit battle scarred but the sellers wife tended to use the touch method of parking.Was it a good buy @£750[with a full test]? time will tell I suppose,fingers crossed for her.
My eldest daughter and her husband moved to Brampton Bierlow shortly before they married in '97 and now along with their two daughters they live there still.
I believe the MGC can be made to handle a lot better than it did[you'd be hard pressed to make it handle worse ] Drove a showroom[unregistered]example "B" in '82.Awful thing as I recall and definitely not for me.Liked the Stag I had a go in in the same year,could be a contender especially as it's well documented engine issues have long since been sorted out.
Used to spend quite a bit of time in Barnsley in my yoof[I was born and raised in a small town called Swinton about 10 miles from Barnsley] and one of my aunts lived in Cudworth[we're heading for Carlton]on match days Barnsley fans would gather in a pub called the Corner Pin don't know if that is still there as it's the late '80's since last I went to the town.
I can well see that. If such things continue to happen[as they're likely to it seems]then there are those who will turn on any and all asylum seekers.Army on the streets anyone?
