I'm just being cheeky... I had a Toyota in my driveway for a long time, but I replaced that with a Golf 4 station wagon-(labrador-times-two-travel-wagon). What a lekker car that is!

Farhaad, sorry man, no luck with the screws or springs today. Will keep a look-out for you.

Try Henry at Berg Motors in Parow or what about Shelleys.

:lol:
i diggthe golf/jetta 4, even tho it got a bit of a bad rap for not living up to the "hot hatch" legend. i think its a well all round car with a good finish and ride. a clean model still pill in a good rand value.
