Had a look at his video on that car where they lifted the head to see what it looks like... not bad!

But it has done more miles than mine has done kilometers...

My tax money this year will all be spent on the Polo... Tandem Pump, lifters and probably clutch and then some interior love!

Saw the video where they opened the motor...that is essentially the MKIV golf/jetta 1.9TDI VE motors correct and not the PD motor?

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on :driving:
