Hi folks just wanted to say hello and gain some useful advice.

I used to be on this forum ages ago when I got my MK3 in 2001 it was a

Black hardtop, red leather

- loved that car but had to sell after 3 years, then got a 2003 Blue Hardtop

, black leather a few years later on

(well it was my other halfs really).

A few cars later I am looking to get one again

- they used to cost me peanuts to run

(other than constant nails in the rear tyres!!) and I want a fun car again so I am in the market for one.

I've had a look around and I cant see a buyers guide for the MK3

(sorry if I am looking in the wrong area).

Since I have only had mine for 3 years or so at a time I dont know whats been found out about them 10 years later on?

Ideally I am looking for the early shape in black with leather seats

- stock no mods with FSH.

Other than the rear lights on the revised shape I prefer the earlier one especially the Sony Radio that later Fischer Price unit was pants

!!

Please point me in the right direction

- other than a ragged car and expensive sounding noises

(corroding alloys) whats this about pre cats??

Many thanks in advance
