I don't see how VW can avoid recovering you if a warranty issue causes breakdown. If I get stranded anywhere for anything other than a puncture, accident or running out of fuel then they should be expected to come out and get you for free if the car is under warranty. The VW scheme is way overprice...

Shoot... Thanks for that!
Not the safest arrangment is it?

Ah OK, now I get it... silly me...
To be honest I don't mind the DRLs, so I've not deactivated them - It's so bloomin dark up here I need them most of the time anyway, and I really havn't noticed folks waving at me to turn them off.

Thanks!

Occasionally - Depends who's driving!

I recall when I had my Cooper S, they were still pretty new and Mini marketing sent out direct mail more or less instructing owners to wave at each other. It was funny for a while, but when every third car became a Mini soon paled...

I have a pair of plactic Cebe's I can scrunch in the holder, but I don't think I'd try with something pricier like Rays or Oakleys...

AgaZaKa - I'm all for saving money, but in the unlikley event of having to call them if you break down is that such a big deal?

Thaks folks... didn't mean to start a firestorm - apart from the heater i'm enjoying the car very much.... I've given it another couple of weeks, but i'm really not happy with the way the heater is after 6 months of having it, so off to the dealer when I get a chance, although getting them to acknow...

Hi, Just wanted to pick the collective brain here... I have a 1.4 with the standard aircon. All is great, except I have no graduation in temperature either with aircon on or off. The car seems pretty steamy in the rain, so need to have the fan on 1 or 2 most of the time. With the temp dial all the w...
