Re: New Windscreen.

Hi Yorkie1, have you had your windscreen replaced? Last week I noticed a crack along the lower edge of mine, you can't see it from inside the car, but needs replacing. I'm going to ask my local VW dealer for a price, just for interest really, it's covered on insurance, just want to ensure a dont get...

Re: Different GAP Insurance

I purchased return to invoice for about £350, would cover the understanding finance and I would pocket the difference to original invoice. Dealer brought the price down from £550 so willing to do a deal on it.

Re: Bodum Travel Mug

Yep first thing I did, but over the kitchen sink not in the car. So I can happily knock the mug over and the tea / coffee won't cover the car or laptop. (I'm not using the laptop whilst driving, but there's an idea...)

Re: Bodum Travel Mug

Hi,

My Bodum travel mug has arrived and I can confirm it fits well. Its a little on the expensive side in comparison to some, but it does not leak even if you turn it upside down and shake. fyi the base diameter is 7cm.

Re: Bodum Travel Mug

I've reviewed there returns policy, I wonder if "does not fit" = "faulty"? After all the cup holders are the same as those my old MK5 Golf, you would think Bodum would design the mug to fit such a car! Return it as "unfit for purpose"... But hopefully they will fit.

Bodum Travel Mug

Hi, A long shot but has anyone tried a Bodum Travel Mug in the cup holders? Not sure if one would fit as the dimension states 8.5cm whereas the holder is 8.0cm, yes I am that sad to measure it! The mug design does taper to the base so might fit... This is the one I'm looking at, think the stainless ...

Re: Snow foam?

I use the Auto Rae-Chem's Cherry Snow Foam, 100ml product in the 1 litre water bottle, sticks well. Neighbours still give me strange looks!

GT TDI 170 Collection

Hi,

Took delivery of my new Scirocco Friday, I'm very please. Lots of nice details I did not know about, the general quality seems very high, a significant upgrade to my '05 Golf.

Will post some photos once the sun comes out.

Re: VXR owner gets it wrong at the 'Ring

I'm told by someone that knows him the bill is £40,000! Written off car, track repairs / closure, and the emergency support.
