Glad to hear things have finally been sorted for you mate. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
I've just returned from an epic journey to Milton Keynes (for the 40th Anniversary event at VW Headquarters), then onto Devon for a week. Came back via Newbury. Covered just over 700 miles and loved every minute of it. This is certainly the longest journey the car has been in, in my ownership anyway. I normally cover 700 miles in several months!
PS - still not fitted the bumper.......

So far mate, so far. I'm driving 200+ miles to the Welsh coast in a week. Can't say I don't have a slight fear in the back of my mind that it's all going to go horribly wrong going over the mountains...!

I'll be honest with you and say these vag cars do have intermittent faults that "miraculously" vanish and without a trace as to why it was there in the first place. Hopefully you'll be fine and your car I'll get you there and back without and problems. :happy2:

Cheers mate, fingers crossed. I'm quite looking forward to the drive, once you're up into the hills the roads are incredible, as well as the views.

Sounds really nice. went to Wales one late night many years ago and it was amazing with long aiding roads up the mountain side. scary though as there was no side barrier so any careless move and its don't the mountain side :scared:

Yep, that's exactly what it's like. The road through Welshpool, Newtown, Aberystwyth and down the coast towards Fishguard. If you get it wrong it's game over. But if you get it right it's as good as it gets.

The Black Mountain Pass is a worthy detour on your way to the coast....
