Got 2 new front tyres fitted. Didn't get GYEF1's or Continental sc5's. Went for Michelin ps4's as were only a few £ more!

Took car in for its 2yr service only to be told, before I was about to go and collect it, that I have a coolant leak and they need to strip the engine down to find it  :cry:

Under warranty with VW approved parts so all is good, keep us posted  :wink:

Booked it into the body shop for the repairs to the door and rear bumper. Going in on 7th June.  I asked what kind of courtesy car I might expect. Maybe Skoda, or.........Nissan Micra.  Oh God!  :cry:  Will be in between 1 and 3 days.  Please let it be only 1 day.

When I had my rear bumper resprayed due to being chipped I had a VW Fox courtesy car.  I renamed it "Pig" as it drove like one, but was actually quite fun bombing down the dual carriageway seeing what I could get out of it while passing BMW's, Mercedes etc,. However I suspect it was only fun as I knew I was getting my car back in few days time.    :grin:

Treated myself to a new pollen filter, since they didn't change it at my recent service (2nd) - decide to go for an
upgrade, we'll see how this works (not very well I'd imagine with the sunroof open :whistle:)

Got a brick through patio window at about 1.30am today and much loved carbon grey pp stolen..had spent previous evening giving it a good clean and wax...full of all the 'should have' thoughts at the moment,gap insurance, guard lock sat in garage not being used etc etc. But mostly feeling a bit sick and guilty for putting family through the experience.

Thanks mustard, I guess I shouldn't be worrying too much about my car, my husband fell downstairs rushing to see what was happening and ended up in a&e with a nasty gash on his head.

I just hate hearing stories like yours Pixwix.
I hope hubby is ok and I hope once you all get over the shock everything will turn out ok.

My neighbour confronted a lowlife in their garden at 1:30am on Wednesday morning. We share a drive and I'm wondering if they'd been trying to locate my Golf. The neighbour the other side was up with their newborn and saw a car hanging around.

Thankfully they left in a hurry with nothing other than the shock of seeing my neighbour minus her makeup appear in the gloom! My car was at work with me anyway (night shift).
