If it’s a T-Series, it’s likely to be from the exhaust manifold - I remember my 620ti having an appetite for the manifold to head gaskets. I second that! Both my 420 GSi Turbo (1997-2004) and my current 220 GSi Turbo had the manifold gasket blow in exactly the same place: at the timing belt end of ...

I am not as familiar with the electrical layout of the HH/R as I am with the R8 and R3, but your description makes me wonder if one of the earth wires between the battery and body is adrift. The L-series in the R3 does not have an electric fuel pump: the belt-driven injector pump sucks up its own fu...

You can prove the starter by bridging from the large terminal (battery connection) on the solenoid to the small spade terminal with a piece of wire or a screwdriver blade. If this doesn't work, you have a faulty starter motor. While you are there, check for corrosion on the spade terminal and its co...

Any 25, ZR or probably Streetwise door should do the job. Avoid doors from the earlier 200, as there are a number of differences on the inner skin, which will result in you having to drill holes and make other adaptations to fit the door card and handles etc. (I found this out many years ago when fi...

It may not be 100% accurate, but it is a useful guide

I can offer a 25 GTi (you have two to choose from: one red, one gold)
