Scirocco Central

I agree with Sam 63 about the Brasso wadding. I let my pipes get very black at the bottom with caked-on deposits (naughty I know) and had real problems shifting it. In the end I resorted to trying some Wonder Wheels I found in the garage (don't let it near my wheels!!). Applied it carefully with a s...

I think the only overtaking that happened among the "race" leaders, was when Vettels car had mechanical problems.

Sorry. If that's a taste of what's to come to come for the rest of the season, I'm taking up knitting. That, as a spectator event, for want of a better word, sucked!! I'm decorating a bedroom, went away to paint a wall 'cos I was bored. Came back half an hour later, nothing had changed :shrug: . End...

The oil you need depends on which servicing schedule you end up on. Time/distance oil is diferent from long life oil.

Why is it that whenever I see Schumachers face, I WANT TO SLAP IT ??

The type of oil you need depends on which VW servicing plan your car is on, Time and Distance or Long Life. They use different specs of oil, the Long Life oil spec is alot more expensive. Your dealer should be able to tell you which regime you're on from your registration number through the VW data ...

Looks like 'Bluemotion' to me.

That's not going to attract attention then !!!!!!!

That's really useful info. I've picked up a couple of small stone chips on my alloys and was wondering how to deal with them. I'll get some this week.

Cheers matey

One I get alot is "a Scirocco, I didn't know they were making them again".

If you really want a decent looking coupe thats REALLY ugly from the back, look no further than than the Volvo C30. God it's horrible!!!

Got mine washed today as well. At least it's got the layer of salt and stuff off. What happened to the Mega snowfall that the BBC aka Met Office predicted for last night and today? I'ts probably in the same place as the mild winter and BBQ Summer that the wonderful Met Office predicted. In fact i'ts...

Does this mean they'll be using Rocs in the next Tranformers movie??

Same problem for me about a year ago, but the Roc was a 2.0 Tsi. In the end it came down to the drive. Having test driven them, to me the Roc with a proper petrol engine was far better than the BM good as it was!. I've not driven the 1.4 so I can't comment on the Roc with that engine. For road prese...

I would be soooooo tempted!!!

AND, Salsa is a bit (how can I say) rarer than Candy.... Hesitate to say more exclusive.

Bonus Mylo!
How long before you get to find out if your feet remember what to do with the pedals? Or are you already scaring the locals?

Not completly sure how I got picked up for this, but I got invited for the same thing for the Insignia last year. I think It's really a matter of getting "onto Vauxhalls radar" I've had a couple of new vauxhalls over the last few years, Zafira VXR (mad machine) and Corsa VXR so that might ...

Just got back from a few hours beasting various versions of the new Astra around the Milbrook Proving Ground in Beds. Great day out courtesey of Vauxhall. Had a go in everything from low spec diesels to 1.6 Turbo SRI. The car is a pretty decent effort, really smooth at speed and the 1.6 Turbo is qui...

When the 3 door Polo comes next year they are going to intoduce a 1.2 Turbo engine to the range - around 104bhp and 129lb ft I read somewhere.

Nowadays I tend to Sky+ Top Gear so I don't have to spend a whole hour watching all the dross bits!!
