Good news this.. I know he sorts Aaron masons race GTI.Was thinking of popping down with the old one before it got pinched,.Will deffo turn up with the ED30,keep it local.

He insists on keeping upto date with the master tech certificate. Was saying something about VW been obligated to let him renew the qualification even though he's retired.
Helpful chap, competetive prices & keeping it local like Gulfstream said.
By the way, where are you from mate?

Popped in today to have the new front pads fitted.Turns out the highline was a bit premature in notifying but they were changed anyway.Simon noticed the sensor plug was broken and that was sending the dodgy signal.He went thru my service history and gave sound advice on future needs.Certainly knows his VAG and gets my custom from now. :drinking:

Not a million miles from East Yorkshire, good to know there's a good Indy about.

He was moaning about UK fuel, and mentioned that you can get away with more aggresive setup in Germany because the fuel is higher grade. :driver:
