Tyre rotation, about 1 year /5000 mi into the Goodyear Asy5.


Can I be a bit cheeky and ask if you can post a couple of pictures with the wheels on the car? Thinking of alternatives to the stock Parker’s on mine👍

Back to the dealer today with the GTi, after spending some time on it on last two Sunday’s, wasn’t happy with the standard for the paint done by them on the bonnet and wings, which they had supposedly painted. But without flatting out the chips. More a touch up and buff job. Donnie it’s going into the Bodyshop for whole bonnet and wing to be finished properly. At their cost. Result.  :cool:


I’d love too, but, buying the two motors we have the other week has proper cleaned me out for time being…. Also I have no idea who does it locally, let alone anyone who does it well….
Also that's a great result JC, wonder if they'll buff the entire car for the trouble.


You’d like to think so, but to be fair I’d sooner do it myself…. But great news they’re gonna do it properly this time, however means I’m gonna be in a boring courtesy car for a week or two….

Would be a great time to consider paint protection film to protect from stone chips, but it's not a nice thing to pay for after buying a car.

I’d love to but after just buying two motors has proper cleaned me out a bit, so as much as I want to do that, I’ll not be able to immediately
