Shared a thumbs-up with a guy driving another Red 'Roc, and his wife/girlfriend was laughing her head off at us

As you've managed to get somewhere with the HD option, I was hoping you could give me some advice. I've got a 250Gb Western Digital "Passport" HD, and I can't get the RCD510 to notice that it's connected :grumpy: :cry: :grumpy: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31WMU8BJYvL._SL500_AA280...

Salsa Red with "Truffle" leather seats? No, not in the UK

Mine is Irish spec. Had a quick look at the configurator on the IE site, and it looks like the alarm is an extra, under "Safety" tab. It lists "ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM "PLUS" incl. SINGLE DOOR OPENING" and "ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM "PLUS"", both for ...

I'm confused by the maths of this. The Gov. pays out £1000 for vehicle being scrapped. The scheme is being extended by 100,000 vehicles, or £100m. So where is the other £150m going? The dealers pay out the other £1000 to the punter, and swallows the cost for the actual scrapping of the vehicles. Is ...

Would like to hear peoples opinion of the paint protection system that's used by Inchcape.
It's the same sort of price as the autoglym lifeshine, at £299.

Thanks in advance.

I've finally gotten a firm delivery date!!!! :faint: Ordered 28th May (week 22). Originally build week 30, and then pushed back to week 34. :grumpy: Told today that it's "on ship" and should be at the dealer on Friday. :nod: :vibes: :nod: So 15 weeks from order to delivery at dealer.

So RimShot, how much of the 99k SGD is the Certificate of Entitlement (if any)? Also, how much do you have to shell out for the install of the ERP unit? Rimshot can correct me if I'm wrong, but the COE is the piece of paper that allows you to buy a new car and put it on the road. The number is limit...

One of my next Q's was who was better to deal with, boradspeed or orangewheels. Never used Broadspeed, but I think OrangeWheel feels more like an "introduction" service than a broker. You don't pay any fee (directly) to OrangeWheels, they just phone you up, confirm your details and then p...

think you will do well to get 8% off in the current market, thats not saying you wont, i find these guys better up to date with current scirocco news than my suppling dealer, http://www.orangewheels.co.uk/buy-new/volkswagen-scirocco.html I'm also using these guys. Got the advertised discount and th...

BTW, the basic 1.4 TSI cost 29k euros here...thats almost 27k GBP! Oh please, here in singapore, our standard spec 1.4TSI (DSG, leather, locally fitted parking sensors, 18" interlagos, WITHOUT DCC) costs 99kSGD or 41.6k GBP after tax... Sorry to go off topic, but how much of that cost is the &...

Sorry, to clarify - I upgraded to the DVD Navigation. I will be pretty frustrated if I find that I have sacrificed the MDI just for the CD changer- I never listen to CDs but I do love listening to the iPod in the car. Is it possible to remove the changer and retrofit the MDI after delivery? Yeah, I...

The iPod and USB to MDI cables were standard on the MY09 models, although dealers seem to want to give you one or the other. Guess they want to put the other in the parts bin. :grumpy: But if you get the CD changer in the armrest, it will replace the MDI socket. The price list and brochure say "...

I've also been wondering if I'd made a mistake ordering Red. Only seen 1 red in the flesh; it was a brief glimpse, and it looked too dark. But yours looks great
Ordered mine 2 weeks after you, and due to go into production this week!!!
Not feeling jealous. Honest

I've pinched these photo from Arlurt's thread on how to install the smoker's pack post delivery. No pre-pictures I'm afraid http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1060 http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r230/arlurt/Scirocco/Ashtray_Closed_2.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/al...

I think you'll have the 2nd salsa red in the Reading area.
I've seen a red 'roc coming out of the Thames Valley Park.
Mine's 7 weeks behind yours!!

Only thing, I got the 6 CD auto changer as this was a built car already, so the sales guy said it doesn't come with ipod, this this correct? The MDI goes in the armrest. So if you have the DVD touch-screen Sat-Nav with 6 CD autochanger in the armrest, the autochanger replaces the MDI. If you have t...

Build date's just been pushed back 4 weeks :grumpy: I ordered middle of week 22, and given a estimated build date of week 30. Just been told by the dealer that it's now week 34 :cry: I'm wondering if this anything to do with the factory's holiday period. I know there are a couple of other forum user...

Recce - that thread you posted contains a lot of details, from both sides of the coin - non believer (me) vs GAP insurance salesperson. I'm sure it contains all the info anyone could possibly want to know about GAP. So did you go with the GAP or not? My car's not built yet :cry: But it's scheduled ...

As the 'roc will be the first brand new car I've ever bought, I was wondering about GAP insurance too. I learnt a lot from this thread.
