Hi from Nottingham,
Recently purchased a 2005 golf plus s 1.9 tdi 105 bhp. Just got to say that the guy that I bought it off had owned it since 1 year old, covered 84,000 miles and never had the timing belt changed in all that time. I told him that he has been playing Russian roulette for the past six years and he is lucky to still have the car to sell. He accepted £400 less his asking price and now I,m holding the gun at my head until Wednesday when it,s booked in for a new belt kit & water pump. I,m certainly going to be touching cloth until then so keep your fingers crossed for me ay.

welcome.
yeah, i would be not using it until then and also getting it recovered in, just in case. (and telling the garage not to start it). better safe than a snapped belt.
