| Are you changing yours to a Furby ? There was a lovely Black one of Jedi's for sale a while back, but he's changed his mind now. It had a lot done to it.

| hahaha i know the Agurments for TDi V Petrol , im doing around about 13--17K a year so it works out well plus if i wanna go upping the power its not gona "Drink the Fuel" Mickey32 has upgraded The Turbo, FMIC, Sachs clutch,full miltech, 221 Bhp but...........501 newton meters of torque, very Quick but Very Practical, i was in it,Its Impressive to say the least. But i wouldnt mind a Furby!!! But dont get me wrong i love My MK1 RS but its been damaged(crashed into while parked) and at this stage i just want to Fix it and sell it on, thats why im looking into Bring a Furby in!

| I always figured you'd need to be doing more than that to make it pay for itself. I suppose it depend on the roads driven on etc.

| I've worked it out admitantly on a Mk2 vRS and its only more benificial after about 20-25k miles of driving. Taz brought in his S2000 from the UK recently and was well worth it on the final price especially after the VRT went onto it. There is a huge amount of hassle on paperwork and the Guards stop you all the time while you're waiting on the DVLA to sort out paperwork. I think Taz was stopped once a day for 3 weeks while waiting for paperwork.

| it normally only works out cheaper if you buy a top of the range motor as the vrt is calculated on just the base model.......looked at doing it myself but by thentime you took into account the flight over and then the ferry back plus vrt it wonly worked out about 400 euro cheaper if that!!.....mate has just bought a 2 ltr deisel audi A4 avant s line with 19's and full leather from the uk .....worked out about four grand cheaper .....its gorgeous![]() k ![]() |

| Taz brought in his S2000 and saves about 7 grand on it so was well worth the hardship. Yuo just have to find the right car and unfortunately I don't think the Fabia is worth hassle for just a few hundred quid.
