Hi there,

I've been pottering around happily in my 1996 90 for a couple for a couple of years now. It feels like a good tiem to take another step, do some proper work on the car, and use it in anger.

Will probably need some advice

Welcome to the forum, depending upon how 'angry' you want to get if yours is the one in your avatar you should find it fairly capable of most thing as it is. Many people spend an awful lot of money doing things they think will improve their vehicle only to find the opposite can be true. Research and asking questions is key.

Thanks. Mine is in a pretty good state really, maybe just need to keep an eye on the chassis; and the engine uses suspiciously little oil... must be topping itself up with water.

I'm more thinking of mods along the line of things to make it more practical for camping trips and the like, nothing too angry

Well cared for tdi's should be fairly bombproof. There's some good threads on here of what other people have done to make theirs a part time camper right through to a full on expedition vehicle. Mine's a tip wagon meets getting to work mobile with the occasional cheeky green laning trip but I'm a light weight and stay in bnb's
