    My brother used to have a mk1 1300 driver which was on eibachs. It was great fun car. We turned up to buy it in my early beetle a d the guy kept trying to buy that off me however it wasnt for sale.

    My mates mum has a mk3 gti which needs a complete new rear quarter due to a rusty arch... The plastic trim hides the rust but traps water...

      Turns out to be a damaged rotor arm (cracked and discoloured) suggesting that the spark was travelling to places it shouldn't be.

      Solution will be a new rotor arm and cap plus a fresh set of HT leads and new spark plugs (think they're knackered) so hopefully that will do the trick.

      Cheers for all he input, much appreciated.

        Good news. They are reliable simple engines that will do high.miles generally.
