On a side note , I was very tempted to treat myself to a Caddy on Friday , lovely condition but up at 200K , my mate who reset my ECU got it for £150 !
He said I could take it away for £3000 , drives like new apparently , which I can believe as VW build  quality is great against the others , why didn’t I buy it ?
Fully rebuilt gearbox too , but the fact the box was a DSG put me off no end .
A fellow window cleaner of mine had a cracker caddy with a DSG that went bang , he was quoted 5.5K for a rebuild   
He scrapped it !

I've just ordered a brand new  golf GTD DSG in moonstone grey.....its getting delivered in 6-8 weeks....

I've never had an automatic before....the new golf GTDs are only available with DSG....no manual option.....

Any van that’s done 100000 miles if it’s not recently had a clutch it’ll need 1 I replaced mine as it was starting to knock it didn’t go on me,same as the turbo the seals were leaking slightly so I replaced the turbo.
If I was even considering buying a high mileage van I’d much rather things like the above had gone and were replaced,the weight we carry you’ve only got to go over potholes half a dozen times and you’ll need to replace anti roll bar links or have them tightened up again.

L5 was it 🤣🤣 I rest my case I’m popping back out to the van again for more ice 🧊 lol,what most don’t realise is that those little gas heaters hate the cold even if you drain them down the internal pipes are so thin and brittle they crack in the cold including the gas pipe.

Ive broke 2 in the past!

On those toy like gas heaters you can’t see behind the gas inlet to see if it’s cracked you might just be lucky enough to smell a bit of gas before the van does an impression of a coke can full of mentos,on a sticky wicket using one of them.

Once you’ve had an automatic there’s no going back. I never thought I would ever have an automatic, then 7 years ago I was converted. We were looking for a new car for the wife and they only had an auto available for a test drive, Wow! I was sold, loved it, even more so with all those speed cushions all over town. Now both our cars and my van is automatic.
