This has been pressed into daily use again since my Czech VAG SHITE started spitting coolant out. Emergency spare car Volvosaurus needed an MOT test and passed with no bother. :D One advisory - seat belt latch button.

It seems to have the 'right' amount of rubbishness and useability. I love it!
The seats are like armchairs, the turning circle is amazing, it eats up long journeys, seems to offend people with its smokiness and noisiness, and runs well on mingebag fuel with a bit of petrol mixed in.

Jobs to do -
Cambelt, it's okay mileage wise, but overdue time wise. Ian VAG says you need special tools, but the injection pump can be locked with a deep socket, and the camshaft locked with a brass door hinge and feeler gauges according to some SEPPOs.

Nearside front brake caliper, it's sticking. Possibly fooked.

The viscous fan is stuck. Need to fit a Kenlowe fan. Has anybody got one kicking about that they don't need? The radiator is massive so probably a Land Rover-sized one required.
