I just stick some new in every year, it's used like a taxi.
Just wanted to make sure the numbers added up for stop start work the car gets.

Side note, anyone know when a Haynes manual is likely to be available?

cheers.

Re: the price is out



Nope, just couldn't bring myself to spend that sort of money on such a small car.

rs2315.

That's an interesting point of view as the Polo isn't that small anymore as it's the same size as Mk2 Golf. It's only 200mm shorter than a Mk6 Golf for example and it's 2/3 the price of a Golf GTI so is ...

Re: 1.2TSI - first thoughts

Cool front end, dull rear end.

I disagree. Whilst I like the front end, it was the back end which really sold it to me. I just love the cute square lights and the way the lines along the sides gather up to a tidy rear end. The front end is a bit too similar to a Golf to my eyes, and I keep ...

Car looks great in Met Grey and the interior with the upgrade looks very up market. I really think the new Polo looks great in all models.

Nice car!

Nice car in Nimbus.
I ordered mine Oct 2009 arrived beginning of Jan 2010.
Made in S.Africa shipped to Germany for pre-flight checks, back to blighty and dealers.
I was happy I'd got my scrappage allowance just in the nick :D

Steamy lights

Rear light clusters were full of condensation, seal obviously broken.
Went back to dealers and sat in comfy chair and waited for some new ones to be fitted.
one and half hours later off I went with new clusters, glad I wasn't paying the bill.

I have no affiliation to this company.
Last year I was at Silverstone for the MG festival.
Lots of racing classes, show n shine and plenty of stalls selling mainly MG stuff.
I picked up a business card from a chap on a stand selling nuts ,bolts, washers of every kind of size and material imaginable ...

Re: 1st oil change

Running costs and the lack of parts was the deciding factor for me to sell my UR plus that I was starting a family and there's not much room in the boot of an UR (20 gal fuel tank and spare wheel) for a pram or buggy. I was quite lucky as I had my UR for 3 years and sold it for a small profit. Mine ...

Re: 1st oil change

Thanks, thought you might not be a regular 10k miles per year like me. Yes if you could afford to change your oil every week the engine would last forever :D I used to service my own cars years ago and changed the oil every six months!
