This is my pride and joy and I will be gutted to see it go especially since I have now pretty much rectified all of the common faults you get with vx220's but due to increased traveling with work and this being my daily commuter I need something a bit more practical

No links but i can give you some more details. 55200 miles 2000 late T reg but now on private plate S3 NFP which goes with car Yellow with blue/black half leather half alacantra full electric recaros IHI Turbo upgrade by Jabbasport (over 4k) Performance clutch upgrade Porsche 996 brake upgrade on fronts - large discs and calipers Supersprint full exhaust system with oval tailpipe 18 Inch BSS annivesary alloys - sadly some kerbing on two of them Front mount intercooler Usual S3 refinements of climate control, a/c, traction, 6CD changerm, trip computer.. I bought this car off a friend who owned it for 2 years and had most of the work carried out himnself by Jabbasport. I have a folder full of receipts totalling over 9K. It is MOT'd and taxed til Jan 08. I am actually off to Jabba this afternoon to get her serviced. The overall condition of the car is excellent. I recently had an issue with the suspension which i think is a common fault with the 1.8T, the near side rear control arm snapped, but this as been replaced along with the bearings on both sides. As i say I am getitng her serviced this afternoon so wont be able to respond until tomorrow but if you want to call me my no is 07834 189809

[ollster]

Lovely cars s3's i have driven quite a few but i would be after something a bit more standard as i have done a lot of work on various 1.8t lumps in the past (in mk1 golfs) and from my experience that sort of power can cause problems with reliability. Out of interest how much internal engine work has been done and have you had any problems with it?

well i'm not entirely sure without the paperwork but everything that was needed to handle the power increase was carried out when the turbo was fitted (its a very long receipt), injectors,manifold... plus the clutch plus the intercooler. The work was carried out in Sept 05 and theres been no probs with reliability engine wise since. its a very solid car
