My local mechanic (Croydon Tyre and Auto 02 97470702) have a customer that's decided not to fix this beast. Manual 2.0T with oil contamination in reservoir: head gasket or oil cooler.
Mechanic advised it goes to the wreckers end of next week if no interest. Speak with Vince or Joe if anyone is interested in it.
@Spac you seem to be a "40" series guru, this likely to find a home?
