Petition - Convicted London rioters should loose all benefit

Hi all, As you will all have read, the riots are still causing mayhem in many major cities in the UK and it is tearing apart many people's beliefs in our current government and our fellow person... Many of you that have an opinion on this will be, like myself, pointing the finger directly at the rio...

RNS 510 splash screen/startup image changeable?

Somebody on another forum says that you can't change the startup splash screen on the RNS-510 from one marque to another i.e. change it from the Seat or Skoda startup image to the VW one. Is this true? I can't believe it tbh... I couldn't imagine VW would be that inflexible with their stock. I've lo...

Re: Calling all 1.4 122ps owners and Scirocco enthusiasts!!!

I've just ordered a 1.4 122ps. I'm 21 and I loved the style, drive and the fact the insurance and cost were affordable. Not so much the guys on here but the people on the SciroccoNet forum slate the bugger out of it! (none of them own one mind you) I can understand why, it dilutes the brand. The 1....

Re: 1.4 scirocco engine

Whenever you produce a car which generates many hp from a small engine (e.g. 1.4 which has 160 hp), your engine will not last very long. This is because the small engine cannot take the constant "stress" of yielding such high energy, esp. with a turbo. your mate is an idiot. mitsubishi ev...

Re: DSG - Anyone use the +/- nudge changer?

It felt a little backwards to me. I think I'd like to pull for up changes and push for down changes. Your right kev, it is backwards! Sequential shifters started of in racing. If you look at sequential gearbox shifters in like a touring car for example, you pull back for upshifts and push forward f...

yeh even if you turn the esp off and go round a wide roadabout and try a little lift off over steer mid way round, you can feel the esp cut power and brake the individual corners to try and straighten you out. basically with esp off, you can floor the throttle and keep it planted without the esp tra...
