I picked up my new Scirocco on monday from Sidewalkdave.
having driven it round southampton yesterday then all the way back home to the midddlands last night, I'm learning little things along the way!
the first big enjoyment came when I learn't it had and MFA!!! ...the next thing i realised was that it was only doing 25.5mpg! ...after a good blast down the motor way yesterday, this morning just driving round the back streets its reading 33 odd mpg ...just needed blasting through oviously!
the brakes could do with looking at, and the engine is alittle lumpy when ticking over and at a constante speen, but I'm goign to change/chack all electrics and pipes which should clear this up.
...just need to make sure that I don't spend all my time effort and money ion this one, as the whole reason for me having a second car was that I can restore my first rocco (Mk2 GT2)!
Cheers Dave for a great car, shame your now roccoless, but I'm sure you'll be back soon!!!
... oh, and I've named it Roxie!
