Its just simply a white sticker with a vw badge on it and the address of the dealer that completed the recall...
my car is having the recall done today!!!! Car drove fine and went to have a new key at vw and they noticed it had not been done so they booked it in without any hastle at all

right ive been to see it. its a very genuine car at a decent price. But i could hear a clicking noise comming from the front end, i'm slightly consirned this is the diff so im gonna pass it up. If i buy it now ill have no cash if something goes wrong, but at the end of the summer ill have £1500 spare after i buy a car so i could fix anything that went wrong
Looks like polo plans are on hold for a coulpe of month :\

It was fine when idling, I didn't want to risk it really. I'll wait until end of the summer when i have more money behind me. It will be even better then. As they say "good things come to those who wait"
edit: what it noticed was that the gear leaver moved in 4th of this one also, but only 4th gear, weird! They are very strange to drive after being used to a micra lol. The gear throw is really long, and the pedals are close together, but that wouldn't take long to get used too. Felt rather pokey even though i didnt rev more then about 3.5k. I deffo want one now!
