just bought a 4x4 rs2k
what people reckon to these??? fancied one of these for a while and got this one for a bargain 1200 notes
its a silver mk5b model, standard in every way, rammed full of wax oil every where even the original rims are mint, bought it as my mrs' daily drive while i have a bash at restorin my series 2
the blokes owned it since it was 2 years old and has pampered it all the way through
cars got 12 months mot, 6months tax and half a tank of juice!!!, pick it up tommorow so ill post some pics
ill see how it fares against the rs turbo!!!!!

I take it you know that the gearbox/transfer box is made of chocolate and will break, repairs to them if available are very costly, loads get scrapped due to G/ box failure, so be carefull
My m8's dad has just bought one as a track car, not sure how long the G/box will last on track!!

Theres nothing wrong with the transfer boxes on them you just have to watch where you jack the car up and be careful towing them go here for better advice on the 2k

This goes for any car - 4x4 or not..
but some places don't seem to worry - gearbox/floorpan/fuel tank.. I've seen most of them
