Hi.
Thanks for reply.
I missed a written off 4x4 Octy 140 in wales for less than 2 grand .
I see your point but i have room in my workshop to have the two cars off the road while i carry out the work plus i cant be bothered to go hunting and pecking for old stuff as at only 25000 miles i want the car as near factory as i can get it plus i'll have all the ecu, wiring, etc. I'm wanting a Tdi so that i will have compatable spare's after the job's done. I reckon 2 grand for the whole car is less than the parts bought individually ! Trouble is finding one.
I think the logical way to go now is to simply trade over to a new 4x4 which now comes with the 4th generation Haldex with faster response time plus the CR lump etc. My RS has just come out of it's warrantee period so it's a good time to think about this then i'll give the 4x4 a gradual VRS make over.The interior is almost pure RS apart from the seats and steering wheel. As you are in the front line of forum info are there any rumours of a R 32 style Oct'y? ( WISHFULL THINKING ) Common sense would have me buying an S4 or similar but i really like the Octavia's and the huge boot . It's a shame that it and the Leon will be kept down the pecking order.
