Picked up a bargain Mk2 Diesel with 180 Kit!

[mattyprice4004]

Couldn't believe my luck - I've just bought a Mk2 Diesel ZS with the proper 180 bodykit. I've been after one for ages, and after viewing a few sheds for around £2,000 I found this for half of that.

It has a few issues (I'll go over them in detail in my next post this evening) but on the whole drives OK. The alloys aren't my cup of tea, but I may keep them as they're already on the car and are quite clean.

Needs a bigger exhaust by the look of it ...

Thanks guys.

Right, the faults.

I've noticed a few things since picking her up:
- EGR valve has some taped up pipework. Going for a remap which will delete the EGR tomorrow.
- MAF sensor readings are all over the place on T4 - likely a cheap eBay MAF as no Bosch markings. Going for a remap which will delete the MAF tomorrow.
- Really bad clutch judder from cold, and a very low biting point. I've freed up the release arm, but I think the clutch itself could be cooked. Waiting this one out for it to break or get better.
- Rust above windscreen. Will have this sorted in spring.
- Many BCU problems. Heated rear screen not working, washer jets not working and horn not working. I'll be repairing this myself, and now offer the service to others here: BCU Repair Kit or Service
- Needs a couple of rear tyres. Going to sling some budgets on for now, but will sort out a good set (hopefully on some 11s) in summer.

I'll keep you all posted on progress.
