I had my Scirocco's geometry set at Centre Gravity and the difference was night and day from how the car had driven before. I had it done around 12K miles just after replacing my fr...

Re: Window with a mind of its own

I've come out to my car and found the boot open on occasion. Doesn't seem to be a fault so I'm guessing as I'm trying to get in the house laden with stuff I'm somehow managing to press and hold the boot release button. Could it be something like that? You've locked the car but accidentally opened th...
