Just brought my Scirocco back on the road, so my Polo has to go! I've owned the car for 3 years (done 8k), it had 28k on the clock. It has a full stamped service history up to 2007, then I've serviced it myself, it is due a service now. I have had the car lowered 60/40 (springs and shocks bought from Germany) which makes it look great, but the ride is too hard for my old bones. If you have back problems... don't buy this car! The car is fitted with a CQ-493FNVA Panasonic Cassette Radio.

I ran into the back of a Vauxhall Astra in December 2011, (the b*tch cut me up on a roundabout) and damaged the offside front wing and front valance. I bought a secondhand wing and was going to pay £100 for the respray, but decided to knock out the crumpled wing myself and respray with a can from Halfords. It's not great, but I'll include the wing I bought for the new owner to replace themselves (it just bolts on).

I have done the following since buying it:

New Cam belt (about 29k) - May 2009

New Fan belt - May 2009

New Water Pump - May 2009

New head gasket - May 2009

New roto arm/dit cap - May 2010

New thermostat - June 2010

New Cobra Cat2 immobiliser - June 2010

New Longlife Stainless Steel exhaust - July 2010

4 New tyres (165/65-13 Falken) - July 2010

New Lowered springs/dampers - August 2010

New wheel bearing, front - Sept 2010

New battery - March 2012

Advisory for next MOT:

1. Front Anti-roll bar corroded but not seriously weakened.

2. Front Anti-roll bar has slight play in pin/bush

3. Offside front suspension arm has slight play in ball joint

4. Front (both) suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement.

There is a noise coming from the front, which I think is another noisy wheel bearing.

Anyone interested, before I put it on ebay?
