The time has come to possibly sell this beauty, I currently have 3 cars and the "new" pride and joy is getting wet on the drive.

D Reg August 1986, 66k miles genuine. 3 owners and as you can see in immaculate condition.

What price would I likely be able to fetch ?

I'm confused now ha, can it tow a 600-800kg caravan braked..

Hi there, sorry no new pictures, but im glad to say im back on with this project. Should be on the road this summer looking as good as it did the day it was bought, (if not better )

Thanks for that, I have posted a message on that page. I have installed new brakes and lines all round my scirocco, view my build thread http://sciroccoregister.co.uk/carforum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=10616&start=165 .

Cheers all..

Regarding the airline trick, i only have a car tyre attachment, do I need a different kind and do I connect to bleed valve or remove the hose and blow thru there ?

Noise has been tracked down to a vacuum pipe coming off the Carb.. so that has been sealed with a bung, pedal feels more firmer now but still no fluid to pass whilst trying to bleed the rear o/s drum. Pistons still not moving when pedal depressed...
