Re: Daily driver?

I've got my eye on a mk4 golf gt tdi at around 2.5-3k. Also a passat or a skoda octovia. Want to stick to vag really as I know the engines and have all the toolsets like vagcom.

I don't think buying a DB9 will do much for your fuel consumption issues. :)

Re: Daily driver?

Yes, my theory is that I'll have money left in the bank each month to take the RS out for a bloody good thrashing ;-)

Re: Rattle on starting from cold

I then just stood there dribbling at the smooth sound of the v8! It has been tooo long!! My wife came out the house and looke...

Re: Daily driver?

I got all technical and made an excel spreadsheet working out mpg/work mileage/tax .With just road tax and fuel and doing 11k a year, changing to a diesel saved me £700 a year. I already insure 3 cars via m...

Daily driver?

Hi all, I know this has been discussed in the past and some people have some very strong opinions! However in the current climate with fuel prices going upwards, just wondered who used their 6 for their daily commute? I about 2 years ago, brought an old golf Cabrio for summer use for the family but ...

Re: Tyres 275/30 or 255/35

Hi Shoppit, long time, no speak. Well, i'm not 100% on the vred's, but I’ve been researching it for probably over 8 months now and the consensus is that are quite good. I'm open to suggestions!.
