[Closed] I love bangeromics

X reg 170000mile vw golf SDI estate. I have known the car from new so had to make the decision whether to put a 2nd hand gearbox in it 4 months ago. Gald I did! Just passed its mot needing 2 tyres, a brake caliper and anti roll bar bushes. My wife does a 250 mile commute 3-5 days a week in it. My mechanic told me it was the older engine with a low pressure diesel pump so as long as I change the oil every 10000 and do general repairs when needed it would be rust that kills it in the end!
Bangernomics male sense!
