Read you blog. Sounds like some of the work I've done on the brakes. Had to look up MOT, being from the USA. Japan has something similar that is miserable to pass. Includes an engine take down to inspect the pistons and cylinders.

She's away in for an MOT today...

No doubt I'll be pacing like an expectant father.

Well she didnt disgrace herself..

Small bit of welding to the boot floor and a new numberplate is all that is needed.

Should be with a full mot come Saturday

6n polo 1.9d vs Clio 172..a side by side review

That's a nice-looking car, too bad this bodystyle was never available in my country (only the sedan and the Caddy panel van, both sourced from Argentina). Regarding engine, even though you may initially think a direct-injection SDI would be better, actually the IDI still has its value since it's more tollerant to lower-grade Diesel fuels and is more suitable to a veggie oil conversion. If I were you I would be looking for an SVO/WVO kit. On a sidenote, in spite of the currently low availability of IDI Diesels in my country, a few researches have shown they actually run more efficiently on vegetable oils than either regular Diesel fuel or biodiesel.
