Ouch!

Yeah - pointless high kerbs on narrow country lanes, big lorries, no passing places - do not a good combination make!   :sad:

Left the side-lights on all day and returned to a rather flat battery and some odd results when I finally got it bump started.

1)  Kept getting "ESP Fault" when I was trying to get it started, but went away once on the go.
2)  Indicator "clicker" in the car going at double-speed, though the wing-mirror indocator lights seemed fine.
3)  Bulb warning light on the dash.

All back to normal, (I hope), once I'd driven it around for half an hour to get more juice into the battery.

Oops.

Got the first service done.  Drove around in a rubbish 1.4 Polo.  You need to drive another car to realise how good the golf is.  They also changed front fogs which had water in them... :smiley:
