Re: Bluetooth behaviour
I thought it was just me! I've noticed the same problem too. Orignally just thought it was not being used to the controls as I only changed car a few weeks ago, but this weekend I started to think I wasnt me...My other 1/2 has a Tiguan and she just presses OK once on the wheel and the call connects....

Re: Standard spec seat comfort. It's good.
The seats are fine but surely getting in an out of a Rocco isnt ideal if you have a bad back !!? You want to try getting into a 3 series Coupe in a tight parking space. Mine was the MSport spec which meant it was low, had v.wide doors & big seat bolsters...didnt as much get in, rather fall in! ...

Re: Damage to Rear Nearside Wheel Arch
I used this guy in the NE on the XC90 where the kids swung the gate into it....apart from not fitting the light back in properly which was easily rectified, he did a spot on job on the actual dent. http://www.dentwizard.co.uk/repairyourvehicle/richard-finch" onclick="window.open(this.href)...

Re: lights in the footwell
You can change this in settings in the mfd...I think it's settings, lighting and then I think it states footwell lighting or something else obvious...you can make if brighter/dimmer in increments... I found it really annoying and turned it off after the first time I drove the Scirocco at night.Would...

SMART Repairs in NE
If like me you are always on the lookout for a decent 'chipsaway' guy take down the name/number of Allan Robson of WheelWizard. He says he travels all over the NE from Tees to Tyne.
