In auction for friday 12.30

.

Now gone to copart to be auctioned at the York center, low reserve so will be a bargain for someone I’ll post link when it goes live

Might consider a small px Fabia/citigo/yeti or also a van

Fantasy green saloon that would be the holy grail

I’d have the perfect doner engine for the Yeti shell too 😛 3.6 v6, not much power but it would sound so good

Beauty’s, My old Y Plate 1.8t is still going strong up here localish to me

.

Mot passed the other week and just been on a nice 400mile round trip all on one tank of fuel, quite decent for a big car.

Finally got the reverse camera wired in the XTRONS one didn’t work for some reason, so brought one that has the number plate light in so a lot neater works perfectly straight away

Started with an audio/headunit upgrade as I wanted CarPlay for Waze and Spotify as I use them pretty much every trip. Went with the latest Xtrons android 13 unit, a little non oem for me but it’s a nice looking unit. Fitted it this afternoon and pre done the wiring for reverse camera add on which will be a great addition. To finish later on. Only fitted the gps aerial with it as I won’t be using the built in 4g capability. Wired in a usb to next to cigarette lighter for charging my phone. Seems to work great out the box the sound quality is much improved, all steering wheel controls/park sensors/ac etc show up as original.

New washer bottle cap in the style of the later Skodas with the built in funnel but found a black one 😁 also took dash apart a little to fit dashcam as I don’t like the wires visible where possible just required a little hole drilled under climatronic panel that will never been seen to feed wire through

Must be I’ve looked at some other superbs for instance the 1.8tsi fwd manual is 1608kg 1629kg with 4x4 and Passat r36 is 1715kg so deffo is the 4x4 big brakes, dsg and the extra two cylinders

Had the old girl on a weightbridge today a big hefty lump at 1720kg with 1/2 tank of fuel and also just ticked over 140k the other day
