Radical solution to wiper problem

I've been forced, unfortunately, to find a radical solution to the dreaded wiper smear problem. The other night some low life scum bag took a fancy to my driver's side wiper arm and snapped the thing off close to the pin :gnash: . After paying £60 to the fools at Macclesfield VW (they ordered the re...

Re: Could this car be used as a family car?

I have 2 boys, aged 3 and 6, and the practicality of the Roc is fine with regard to access and, up to a point, boot space. The doors open good and wide, the seats slide easily, and the boot can take quite a bit of kiddy-related paraphernalia. The one problem I have found, however, is that even thoug...

Re: Impressions 1 week after delivery

What would you do if you caught some weirdo gettin' frisky with your Roc? Do you think a penectomy without anaesthesia is too severe?

Impressions 1 week after delivery

A week after delivery of my Salsa Red beauty, what do I think? To tell the truth the day of delivery was a real disappointment. I'd arranged to pick up my new toy from Crewe VW at 9am last Wednesday. I turned up at 9, the dealer turned up at 10 past. Poor start. After some form filling he cleared of...

Re: Is my Roc £500 cheaper?

I popped into my dealer (Crewe VW) to pay for my Rocco yesterday. I'd delayed taking delivery to take advantage of the VAT drop; £504 in my pocket rather than paid to the Treasury. Thanks Darling. I had hoped to get the car on Monday, but the dealer said that they've been told by VW not to deliver a...
