Anyone live in Newbury??

Hi, I'm relocating to Newbury at the end of March and was just wondering if anyone who knows the area could recommend some nice areas to live? Moving with the misses, we have no kids so schools are not an issue, walking distance to town would be preferable but not essential and obviously in an area ...

Re: RNS315 - 7 digit postcodes

OTOH VW should not be shipping cars in 2012 with the old software. True, however there are plenty of cars (for example a friend at work has a 2011 CC) with the RNS315 which only has the 5 digit postcode not 7 digit capability. I'm just wondering if VW would/could upgrade the software for these peop...

Re: Window shopping in car parks.

Well i've only had the car just over 2 weeks and i always park towards the back of the car park where its quieter anyway, but never had a problem. Used to do the same when i had my Impreza.

Re: Kerb!!!

Thanks both for the info, feel slightly better now knowing that the black should be able to be repaired.

If you could pass on the deets for the company in Bristol that would be great, I'm live in Cheltenham (work Forest of Dean) so not too far from Bristol.

Kerb!!!

Damn it, 2 weeks into owning my car and one of my 19" black Luganos had a fight with a kerb in a multi-story car park - It lost, convincingly!! :cry: Anyone had any success having a black wheel repaired? Alternatively I'm thinking of getting a replacement from VW but no doubt this will cost a f...

RNS315 - 7 digit postcodes

You may or may not already know this but i was led to believe that the RNS315 Nav unit only supported 5 digit postcodes... anyway, just picked up my car on Friday and it now supports the full 7 digit postcodes which was a nice little bonus :yes: Not sure if the older units can have the software upda...

Re: 2012 Changes (MY2013 changes)

Ordered my 'roc on the 28th..think the order didnt go through until 29th of May has this just got inside the week 22 and got the new mods?? I believe the changes actually refer to cars being built week 22 onwards, so if you just ordered this week, your car won't be built for a while yet, so yes you...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

I'm not sure if the fact that mine is a company lease car is the reason i've been lucky with the date. I have a feeling that VW finance (Inchcape) have a certain allocation of vehicles per month?? I could be way off the mark but i did manage to get my build date confirmed pretty quick (its being bui...
