Hello, everyone.

I am the besotted owner of a 1994 Classic 300Tdi soft dash.

I bought her in 1996 when she had done 30k miles, and she now has 222k on the clock! She has been super-reliable, and I love her to bits.

The old girl is now showing her age a bit (all the usual faults), but is still remarkably sound, so I have decided to restore her to her former glory.

I am totally useless at doing stuff (other than the basics) myself, but I have a fantatic local garage (a real old-fashioned motor engineer) which does a lot of classic restoration. So, they are doing most of the work, with me doing the "project management"!

I have joined the forum for advice to help me through what I expect to be a "challenging" exercise, so I will be shamelessly picking everyone's brains!

Hi, welcome to Landyzone:welcome2:. Brain picking is perfectly ok, but be warned, stupid questions will be given stupid answers, and failure to use the search button will result in severe abuse.

:welcome2:to Loonyzone and in reference to Martin above please be advised that some folk on here only know silly answers no matter what the question

Enjoy the project and please remember :nopics:

Thanks, Martin.

I'll try my best! Actually, I think it will be personal experiences to help me through the myriad of options for everything that I will need most.

Also thanks, Andy. I'll get my camera out!
