Transporter shite....
I bought one blind a while back......5 cylinder 140hp.
Always wanted one and believed all the hype from the vw knobs......
Fella dropped it off and i handed over the wonga.......next day im out in it thinking it would be the nuts...
Now was i in for a shock........it had a full bulkhead inn it and i couldnt get the seat to go back far enough unless the back of the seat was tilted vertical..
5cyl lump was as loud and noisey......
It didnt feel planted on the road.....
Minor issues were standard radio/cd was pathetic
Seats were designed by satan.....rock hard
Noisey cabin.....
So.......looked for advice from the vw knobs and was told....." oh yeh ,you have to rip the bulkhead out or have a half bulkhead, lower the van to get a planted feel, swap the radio cos there sh*t , get some seats from a saab, and insulate the cab to get rid of the noise, there are all like that"
"also be carefull as there prone for cracked manifolds,clutches,duel mass flywheel......."
I found it strange how these people would spend all this money on a van and then swap a load of parts to make it drivable ,then spent thousands on repair bills and then say .."its the best van iv ever had and wouldnt have anything else" fookin bellends if you ask me..
I had mine about a week ........drove 20 miles in it and stuck it on ebay and sold it within minutes to some fool who wanted to live the vw dream.
I wouldnt have one if they were the last van on the earth........totally overrated by suckers who want to enter into this transporter dream..
