Reason for the turbo not being fitted was due to the exhaust needing lots of mods to fit , also you don't have to fit a Tdi rad / oil cooler

Admit I'm very tempted!! If it was put through an mot and flew straight through then I'd be more tempted. What I don't get though is why don't you do the work yourself and sell the car for its full price?? From what I can see ( what I'd do if I bought it) new box, and clutch, new lights all round and a tin of nato green paint and its all sorted. Or am I missing something??

Hi, Do you have plans for the disc brakes as I would be interested in them as well, but if not £650 and can collect most times. Please advise regarding brakes.
