Well, I needed to either sign the car back over to him, or buy it…he didn’t want the car anyway, and it was only a matter of time before it was taken and crushed. I’ve done my duty to the VW world and kept another from a untimely death lol

A lot of people had there eye on it, a few people have already offered me money for it. Not been through it all yet, but with Bank Holiday coming up, maybe an ideal time to strip it out.

Again if you hadn’t committed another criminal offence by obtaining a logbook fraudulently the car would never had been in your name and the vw community doesn’t need more thief’s as that’s basically what you’d have done if you didn’t get it touch with previous owner as you applied for the logbook before any contact

Detailing / Ceramic Coating options
« Last post by JamesR27 on 22 May 2025, 21:13 »
Hi,

Been looking at changing my car and the mk7 and 7.5 I have previously had coated with Siramik coatings which have been great but the detailer I used has given up.

Therefore just thought I would ask what products people are having on their new cars? And what people would recommend.

The closest detailer to me is Gtechniq approved which I am tempted to try.

so....

....bit of update, after receiving a logbook for a car I didn't own, i had to get it moved off the road before it was clamped and I became responsible for the fines that went with it.

I managed to get the car open with the hand of a friend of mine (locksmith) we rummaged through the car and found some details for the owner, a phone number. I called the number and he answered! I told about the logbook situation and he was as surprised as me! he hadn't even been asked if he was happy for it to go into my name, very dodgy!!

Anyways, he did want to sell, he said he wanted £100 and his number plate off it, which I was very happy with....

So.. I have a V6 4motion, with a clutch problem, concentric unit inside the box, and an coolant leak...and most probably amongst other things, for £100

I was thinking of breaking it, but...I can't resist a project, albeit a VERY a long term one...I still haven't completely finished the last one I started.

So your openly admitting you and your locksmith mate have committed a criminal offence and you think that’s acceptable 😂

Just gone for another pair of Goodyear Eagle F1s for £210 fitted. Not the absolute best price but they are local and do a good job.

Cars and parts for sale / Edition One Seat Covers
« Last post by richie2480 on 21 May 2025, 17:52 »
Hi all, I have for sale a pair of front Edition One seat covers. These were bought in error as they are for GTi seats and not Recarro. To be honest can't remember where I got them from but think it was Austria (I've lost receipt). I am looking for £300.00. They cost £600 new. These are new unfitted, front, back and head rest.
Thanks
