Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by Rudedog on Today at 21:14 »
Or as James May came to the conclusion in 'Cars of the People' - the VW Golf was the "perfect people's car" - and all the car you could ever need.

Even Ben Collins (the Stig) said that out of all of the GTI's he would have either a Mk5 or a Mk7.

Great job you’re doing there with the database Damian and Andrew.  I’m 2nd owner of 224 and it’s now in Aberdeenshire.  Was registered in January 2017, air con and Pure White.

Thank you for your support and advice.  It was invaluable.
I took it along a dual carriageway and drove at 70 mph and then dropped to 30 mph without braking.  I did this about ten times!  It worked.  Now back to normal.

so I went with 504 spec Castrol Edge. 4l can = £35.
4l of Castrol Edge 508 spec was £50. Prices from Halfords.

Golf mk8 / Re: MK8.5 Official News / Open for ordering the 11th of April
« Last post by BillSan on Today at 18:16 »
That's a higher percentage discount than I was expecting.

It won't be enough for me to place an order though.  The 8.5 just isn't different enough from the Mk8.  I can't pay more money for what is substantially the same car.
