I tried a larger pouch which was big enough to get a small bunch of keys or clubcard pasport etc in, it does work. Then I tried a smaller pouch similar to those mentioned previously, the pouch seems to work on the car, however one of the other fobs on the keychain is for a communal doorway, and with...

After a couple of weeks waiting I’ve taken delivery of a new spare Brescia rim that I ordered from VolkswagonspartsUK https://www.volkswagenpartsuk.co.uk/parts/polo-gti-aw-brescia-alloy-wheel-18-black-gloss-machined/ and tbh on initial inspection I can’t tell the difference from the ones fitted to t...

I spent a couple of hours early this morning washing the car and found the gaps between the Brecias spokes big enough to enable me to reach through with a wash mitt to clean the drums and calipers

Edit

A recent local incident of where a guy in another German marque car was attacked with a machete that almost severed his arm by a gang intent on taking his car, these incidents are getting more frequent around here and it’s prompted me to up the way I view my security and that of my car Spend the mon...

So you've bought and paid for an immobiliser which has been fitted and currently doesn't work, pending a software update? No he disconnected it and took it back off, it cost me nothing except an hour of my time. He however travelled 1hr+ each way, and spent time onsite and didn’t make any money. I ...

I was never intending on seeking a discount from the insurance company by declaring it.

A word of caution for anyone considering fitting a specialist Ghost immobiliser to their new Gti, don’t do it just yet. I arranged for someone come over today to fit one of these immobilisers, it seems the software platform used by VAG in the car is so new the manufacturer of the security device hav...

An unexpected surprise today when the guy doing the detailing phoned and said my car was ready, so I headed over to collect it and I’m impressed with the results, the car can be seen atm on the whitedetails Instagram page

£500 would be best part of 2yrs Insurance for me.
When I changed the car they charged me an extra £37, and £20 of that was “administration fee”

I feel like my legs have been taken away from me as I’m not getting the car back until Thursday lunchtime, I actually looked out the window last night and instinctively looked for the car, and for a moment I thought someone had nicked it, then my memory of where it is kicked in.

I know mine was a fast turnaround but I doubt that they will turn it around that quick, more likely it will be on the next crossing later in the week

Yeah I know, I’d budgeted for the majority of them but it’s amazing how the cost of little things here and there soon stack up.

I wrote down a list of what it’s cost me so far, inc the service plan etc. The figures are eye watering and I haven’t finished yet as I still have to factor in the cost of a set of tyres

It’s a good job I’m not going anywhere as I’m now officially car less for the next 6 days as I’ve just returned from dropping the car off at the detailers

FYI I’ve just visited the dealer (JCT - postcode S66 2JL) and noticed they have a white Gti for sale on the showroom floor. I didn’t enquire what spec it was.
