• My Mk1 interior (with 100k on the clock) is pretty solid, but there is the odd rattle and noise - not quite an orchestra though! I'd say the main noises comes from the road itself/suspension as opposed to fear of being K.O'd by interior trim.

    If a hardtop is fitted squeaks from behind the driver/passenger are normal due to the roof slightly sliding on the rear mounts.

  • I think it was mainly the mirror but it does sound like I just need to recalibrate.
    Loved how eager it was on the throttle though!

  • Great time of year to be looking too, wish I had done that and saved myself a few quid. Was it a 1.6? If not they're supposed to be even more free revving but slightly less torque.
