Monday, I drove an A5 Sportback (didn't have the 225PS standard 3dr) and as a loan car a VW CC. Interesting indeed.

:D - thanks. Yeah, used UKLee's how to - brilliant guide. Had one unsuccessful attempt a few months back with him as well, so I knew exactly what I was doing, since I had seen the steering wheel come off before.

The actual job took me just under 1.5hrs, I think that was the bit I was most proud of :D. Spent the other 1hr running around shops when I found out I needed a M12 spline bit and not an M14 one :eyepop: Pretty glad I had a tools shop not too far away in the end ('cos I had already popped the airbag off)

I hired a car to get my parents from North Wales to Newcastle and back as they don't fit in the Scirocco very well.

I was given a free upgrade on Christmas Eve as they had no other rentals to send out and as I didn't fancy an Astra or a pig ugly Fiat 500L, I chose their Passat TDi Bluemotion. Lovely cruiser. 400 miles on half a tank. I don't even get that on a full tank in mine!! Very quiet and smooth at 70 but really gutless in 5th and 6th for any kind of acceleration but I guess it's geared for what it's designed to do. It was only pulling about 2000 revs at 75mph.

I have always admired the fit and finish in the Passat every time I have been in one - really well designed and put together cars. Quite a different beast from the Roc of course!

I test drove a Passatt CC a few years ago just to sample the DSG box. Although comfortable and smooth, it felt like I was driving around my living room after the compact confines of my Roc!

About time we saw some more pic's of him! :lol: :clap:

Looking sweet, stretts.

Which rim wax did you use and am I right presume you apply it to the whole wheel, not just the finished surfaces?

drove it 50 miles before the check engine light came on, popped into a vw dealer, they diagnosed air intake manifold.

only 9 trips to the dealers last year (petrol release flap, horn, spot-welding chassis, suspension, clutch, trim, various bulbs) and i made it two days into this year.

gutted.
