Re: Roc going and Golf R coming [emoji6]

All the Roc's across the range have been discounted by £3k, a sure sign they are going. I suspect they may disappear before end of year. It may well happen when the new T Roc appears, although not a replacement obviously it may be a case of x amount of model types availabile and once the TRoc appear...

Re: Manifold - where to buy?

Found one selling 280 or 380for two year VW warranty, then labour costs on top. Quick read on the delete don't think it would really benefit me, i also think I'm using more fuel which if it's a side effect of the delete i don't want. I just had mine replaced by VW, a brand new one with the cost to ...

Re: Summer 2017 -> Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 2 or Pirelli P ZER

Like Cuprabob had previous Dunlops, my original tyres when I got the car were Dunlops and TBH I didn't like them and got shot of them the minute they wore out. Can't comment on new Dunlops but doesn't sound like they are any better, not ever had any Pirelli's and no intention of. Will stick to Miche...

Re: How do I find out my wheel off set?!

Hi all, Unfortunatly I been having some issues with one of my tyres/wheels. My left front tyre is been loosing pressure since day one (I bought a 2011 Scirocco 2.0GT 170hp 2 years ago) but because it was minimal I thought it was the tyre with some sort of puncture or so. So I bought a brand new set...

Yes pure electrics, you get £4500 off list, £2500 off cars above certain level of CO2.
You get the actual list off directgov website where it tells you which car gets what off list.
