What did you and your MKV do today?
colesey:
Another year, another MOT. Also had a set of fresh Super Sports fitted. Gets to live another year, ULEZ permitting.

Hey, totally forgot about this. I sold them @ 16000KM's and around 7 months to get the MK7 GTI PP ones. They still looked pretty good to me, no rust but I drove the car a lot.

I changed my key fob case with one from amazon.
Works well and quite straightforward with the tricky bit being getting the glued in glass transponder out without breaking it. To do this I soaked it in nail varnish remover and then used heat from a hairdryer while I gently prised it out.
I wedged it back in the new case with tissue paper to make future removal a simple task.
dazza:
Wheels refurbished and new tyres.
Birchy:
Had a strange noise followed by constant knocking at the back end of last week and found one of my rear sway bar links had snapped. Had only been fitted for about 10 months so called Whiteline and they arranged a replacement which arrived today at no charge - great service from them! Will be getting the new one fitted up today. From what I can tell it broke because the actual ball joints have become virtually seized and putting all the pressure on the link itself.
