Hi, Thanks for your replies, I have just taken on a rescue dog so I think with all the water fowl and lakes would be a bit much for her at the moment as she was an ex-working Lurcher and would chase any small thing that moves, will probably go to Woodhall Spa where there are some very long dog walki...

Hi, I have bought a 1600 1983 T25"Minty" it does seem a bit slow on the hills but will go 50mph with no probs on the flat. I have had the offer of changing the engine to a Passat 2,000TD and would cost around £650.00 to have fitted. Do you think it is a good idea?? :? or should I try and g...
