Re: Anyone DIY retrofitted rear parking sensors???

I had a mate who has his own VAG specialist garage colour code and fit a set of steelmate sensors, think all in cost around £150 from memory. Been on 6 months no probs. Can take a photo of the bumper if want to see where to fit. They dont sit as flush as oem but still look very neat (dont stick out ...

Re: Saris Bones Bike Rack

Ever feel like your talking to yourself Twads? Yes Twads often :D Saris Bones 3 far better fit, more sturdy very little flex and if put bike in middle carrier it sits miles away from the bodywork. Also it has a strap to hold the downtube in place to stop bike swaying which is a nice touch. No issues...

Re: how much mpg you get?

Changed on Friday from a A6 3.0 tdi quattro le mans which was remapped to 295bhp got around 31mpg, to roc 2.0tdi 140bhp.

Re: Baby car seats

Time for an 5dr Golf R for you. I wish. Can't afford one of them, :grumpy: however I do keep coming back to the 2.0tsi Jetter with a DSG. Same engine and gearbox, just in a bigger car with a more accessable boot. :clap: And its cheaper than both the 'Roc and GTI with just as much power. :eyepop: :f...

Hi Karl am just about to buy a 140 tdi quick call tomorrow :clap: Only took it for a quick spin on country road and didnt get a real good chance to open her up but im coming from a Audi A6 3.0tdi quattro le mans which had remapped so just short of 300bhp and the Roc didnt seem bad to be fair. One op...
