    A little help Polo 16v

    Nilz is right if you look at mainstream selling sites. However, some enthusiasts will see that it's a 16v and be willing to pay a premium just for that. Have a feel around uk-polos.net, maybe ask a couple of questions, see what they reckon on there. clubpolo will also have some information. if...

    How far would you travel...

    South Devon to Oxford and back for my current A3, twice.... once to view the car (I drove), the second time to collect it (friend drove me up, we convoyed back). 12 hours on the road in total!

    Clueless driving (thread split from 8V)

    My biggest pet hate (apart from fog lights, not indicating, tailgating, middle lane hogs, stupid drivers doing 50 on the motorway....) is people who seem totally incapable of keeping to one speed. I sit at 75 to keep fuel costs down whilst still making progress, and I've lost count of the amount...

    1.9tdi 90bhp Seat Leon things to look out for?

    Leaky doors (foam between the panel and door skin rots away and lets water through - HUGE thread about it on seatcupra.net), sticky bonnet release mechanisms (fixable with regular WD-40), beyond that they're fairly reliable cars - I had a 110 tdi for 2 1/2 years, my brother now has it, 150k on...

    Your driving offence stories

    Been done speeding once, been stopped once. Speeding was 1 month after I got my first car at 19 - a 1l polo! caught doing 84 in a 70, one speed awareness course later (they mustve been impressed such a pathetic car could manage that speed or something) and never been caught since ;) got stopped...

    Is it cheaper oop North ?

    I find it depends how far south you go - I'm in south Devon, and prices for just about everything are higher by up to around 30% (especially on cars) but the average wage is significantly lower - work that one out.... I never look below Bristol when I'm car hunting, price hike just isn't worth it...
