there seems to be something up with the brakes, and the steering doesnt feel connected to the wheels lol. but maybe thats standard

The breaks are probably sha##ed discs and pads, although the nsfcaliper used to bind if it was left standing for a month.
Sloppy steering.......have a look at the suspension turret where the rack bolts to it, I bet thats rusted aswell

yeh i thought the discs and pads might be knackered due to the track days its had, my mate put some brake fluid in, and it is 100% better now apprantly lol.

Guys I am sure that's the 21 I owned around 4 years ago, I think it stayed in Surrey.I I originally swapped it against my Golf GTi ( which was a pile of ****e ). When I sold it the only thing wrong with it was a small hole on the outer sill. It did have a good history with all the book pack.

looking at it from another angle, kitcar boy's can also think that 21 owners are stupid. :tape2:
