Took my car out as she was in need of a good drink. Topped the oil up and filled her to the brim with V-power then went to the shop. And then decided I have pushed my car for a while as I have been in england with the speed limits and all. So had a drive up the autobahn and back was nice and sunny also to top it off!

:) Nice little chill out after work

Nowt major but something that's been bugging me.  Just replaced both brushed aloominum door trim strips.   Gawd knows what the previous owner had done to them as they were all badly pitted.   :confused:

Found Red Robin's How To guide to do this very helpful otherwise I might not have had a go meself.  :happy2:


.... :drinking: Really nice to learn it was of help to someone.

we reached a mile stone! Im trying to use one tank of fuel all month instead of 3. Im currently on 200miles driven and 200miles in the tank! Normally i get sub 250miles to a tank  :signLOL:

I wont be doing it next month trust me, its the most boring thing ever, but its nice to know i can. I managed 400miles to a tank on the motorway once so im surprised im on track for getting it town/a road driving!

Just had the car collected and during the walk round noticed that 3 of the 4 wheel have white worm developing around the the centre caps/wheel nuts and the engine has developed a knocking noise, just goes from bad to worse  :sad1:

Fitted my red ebay gti badges after reading up about it on this site somewhere.

I'm normally on the uk-mkivs forum since i used to have a mk4 but now i have my mk5 this forum seems a bit more involved!
