Re: Cars in with VW again

Actually saw the window thing briefly this morning - wasn't sure if it was due to steering lock being stuck briefly whilst key in ignition? Windows have been a little temporamental at times, although i think majority of this was due to sticky seals - bit of silicon spray helped on this...

Re: scirocco spotting... its a fun new game!

Well, considering my last 2 cars were diesels and did 45,000 miles last year, I thought long and hard before moving back to petrol. The interesting part is, pound for pound, I'm not finding much difference. I am actually thinking it's cheaper in my petrol 'rocco. Reason for this being, I used to fil...

Re: Tyre Wear / Pressures

Mine are Pirelli P Zero Rosso 235/40 18's... According to the pressure settings, they should be 33 PSi as it's usually just me in the car too. I use two separate guages (one traditional on the plug in inflator, and one digital) to check the pressures and top up...

Tyre Wear / Pressures

Re: scirocco spotting... its a fun new game!

I'm seeing at least 3-4 every time I travel on the motorway these days... usually Black or White although I have seen a few blue, silver and viper green ones! The rarest appear to be the silvery gold colour (not sure what that is, but only seen 1), grey and dark blue... Personally think silver looks...
