A little update on this practical classic, after a bit of time and the car returned back to me. it was in limp mode and in a bit tired. So the backend of the last year, me and my mate changed the wheel bearing, i sorted the Maf sensor, Also its very hard to believe this would be the very last ever job we would ever do together.
 We did have plans on doing the engine mounts and sort all the rear end.
I got another mate of mine to do the clutch weeks after the passing of my buddy, he did offer to do the engine mounts for me, while he had the car, He said the gearbox was very low on oil, and that the gearbox seal on the pass drive shaft had given up, Which was all sorted out. He had been pestering the life out of me since i knew him, since the days of when he owned 306s and when i had the vvc metro, to give this a stage one tune. So i finally said yeah go on, one of the lads on the forum has did a hell of a lot of research into HDI tuning, and made his own business out of it now. We used one of his Maps, the car was quick to start with, its made it 10mph faster and gone from 92 BHP to about 120 BHP or something a long those lines. As i have had the Air filter and exhaust in place since the 1920s  So its rounded that off. I have had the car in for the inner tie rods and track rod ends, and rear end brakes and damper bolt sorted. The rear end i was going to do with my mate, who sadly passed, we corrected one problem last year there. i didn't know if we were to going to get my dads 200 TDI back in action again, and with the TD5 starter going west on me, i have had to push it forwards. I am getting the wheels done next, as i am keeping money to one side for this now like. If things like it or not. I have them here to be re painted, and i can get new tyres for them, so i may just get these done during the holiday shut down.  its nice to see somethings going my bloody way this year, instead of things taking the sodding pess out of me.
