The car was fitted with Koni dampers and a Seat strut brace but these have been removed,and are also for sale.
I'm interested in the strut brace if it's still for sale (and if it'll fit a 2007 1.9 TDi)

Rust bucket. i have someone interested in my car so i'm trying to get insurance quotes now. Could you tell me your postcode so i can get a rough idea where i would be traveling too? New to this forum can't find the Private message function.

It's all down to a matter of opinion, you'll pay a lot more to insure a Golf.

I pay quite a lot for my insurance due to an accident I was in and also speeding points... but when I driving the car that goes out the window :)

Try driving the car in a very "spirited" manner and have the computer tell you that you still got over 40MPG and it's worth i ;)

Out of interest Clone, was your VTR a 97 or 99 plate? 9.9sec (116mph) & 9.1sec (120mph) 0-60 / 90bhp & 100bhp respectively.

Ibiza 1.9 TDi Ibiza Sport's... 9.1sec 0-60 (128bhp) or the 100ps version 10.5secs. Both top out at 118mph. There is also a 1.9TDi that is a little slower. Placement of the letters :D .

The 1.4 Formula Sport's 0-60 in 10.8secs, tops out at 118mph (98bhp).
1.4 and 1.9 DAB's are very similar spec'ed.

.......Anyhow, a REVO should sort you out! :p

Yea, i know what you mean, it's just because i'm cheap and only pay £900 under my parents name i have to bite the bullet and get my own insurance some time...

I had a x reg- 2000. (98bhp). I've had more than 116mph out of it ( private road ofc;) ) But i know the clocks aren't accurate.

Theres only a second of a difference then, i suppose it is alot and there will be more torque in with 130 bhp model. But a remap should be fun, hell yea!:funk:

Just got a great quote from Tesco car insurance. £1923.60 fully comp! It was only third party for the others. Or £1666.35 Third party fire and theft. Would you go for the fully comp?

Hi Clone,
I rang the Dealers this morning and they are expecting delivery of my car on the 15th.
You can still view the car if you want, but it has to go on Sunday as I will have to part exchange it on Monday.
If you are still interested you can send me a pm

Thats for all the help guys! To answer some questions

I done an insurance quote with money supermarket and confused for the 130 ibiza and lowest i got on both was £2,000. I'm currently paying £900 for the VTR under my mums nam - think the vtr is grp 6 or 8 but i really could do with earning some no claims. I'll hunt autotrader again for some more ibiza 130s the sport 130 and the FR are the exact same yea? If so i may aswell get a sport as they are cheaper.

I do agree with the seat you are getting more for your buck

Try direct line. You can be under your mums name and build NCB.
