Re: Dipped beam on one headlight not working

I've had this issue for a while now. Dipped beam on Drivers side not working. If I tapped the front of the light housing it would jump into action, I could drive for hours and it works fine but switch off the car and then switch it back on after an hour and its gone again. Strangely I left the car f...

Re: Sunglasses

its best for wire frame sunglasses but I find getting them out of the compartment, especially whilst driving, is difficult and I could damage the glasses. Also, they rattle a lot in there creating unwanted noise. I don't use it at all anymore lol

Re: Miles from a set of tyres?

Original Pirellis on the rear - just creeping up to 43k.

Fronts were changed for Hankooks before I bought the car but I've added 10k since and they must have already done around 10k.

Probably will need to change the rears in approx 5k though

Re: I'm going to miss Scirocco Central. Thanks.

+1 on the anthracite with satin finish!!

when clean they look so good. Better than black or silver imho and works on all colours of scirocco. The satin sheen just adds that extra bit of depth and presence to the alloys

Re: Private Plates

if its for road use, keep the font standard bud. italics or bold fonts just look cheap.

I think private plates look great on roc's

Re: VW or independent for service?

I paid £307 for my 40k major service + break fluid change from Birmingham VW. Service was excellent and the car was cleaned in and out. It might just be busy dealerships that aren't as good. To be fair I didn't ask for any extras so can't comment on what the service may have been like. I anticipate ...

I actually really miss this from my Polo days.
