Hi guys, new member here.

I'm into all kinds of things. At present, I'm restoring a car, renovating a house as well as its garden. Even do a bit of gigging from time to time as well.

A short time ago, I was offered a mk7 freebie. Its a lhd 85T260. Unusually(?) it has a tailgate rather than rear doors, and has 12500 km on the speedo. As wiil be understood from the price, even if it still does have a ticket on it, its been standing for quite a while, and needs a bit of work. The rear brakes are binding, handbrake doesnt work, and theres a judder on the steering. Added to that, theres an oil leak somewhere under the front, an engine rattle when cold, and of course a bit of rust. In other words, I've got my work cut out for a while. :D

With some luck, I'll be able to start working on it early next week, and then the questions will start!

Thanks for the welcome.

Now to post the first question in the relevant (I hope!) area.
