I wish I could afford your m3. Unfortunately it's well out of my price range for insurance, running costs and just generally

I've got a sensible car (Golf TDI) for commuting, so something fun to drive would be good as I'd probably only use it at weekends. Thinking along the lines of an MR2 or similar. I've spotted a MK1 MR2 on manxads so might give that a look and see if the guy's interested in a swap for the BMW. Open to...

Have had to insure and tax for another year, so re-thinking my options.

If anyone is interested, please give me a shout.

Would potentially swap

Final reduction before I try to find somewhere to keep it off the road once the tax runs out

Reduced again.. really has to go before the end of the month as I can't afford to insure and tax it when it runs out

Well, good news, turbo seems to be working properly again. Got the car back from the mechanic, was driving it to work and got limp mode. So got annoyed, turned car off and back on and floored it which seems to have unstuck the turbo :cheers: Took the car out the next day and logged it with VCDS and ...

I just went for the software registration of $99 (http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCDSLiteReg.html). The OBD2 cable is a generic usb one I got a while back and luckily it works. Depending on how things go, I might buy one of the proper ross-tech cables in the future.

Have now also got VCDS and OBD2 cable for diagnosing/logging Golfs

Mechanic mr muscled the turbo, cleaned the intake/egr and found a split vacuum hose which he's now replaced. Car is running much better but need to log it before I know for certain. Fingers crossed
