Just being a very contrary Mary, hun. :kiss: :laugh:
We should all buy shares in BP on Friday. Their share price is going to tumble. Then sell them in 2 months when they stop the leak and we make a good killing! :evil:

Back to topic :rolleyes:. Have you the £250 Service Pack? Was it on offer when you bought the car?

I wouldn't take my car to the local dealer (1 mile away) as when they did a simple warranty job they couldn't even follow a simple instruction of not washing car car (no doubt with their stony sponges!).  So the supplying dealer got a call, 25 odd miles away, never bothered to call me back. So local VW indy dealer did my 1st service (the ones who mapped it), VW stamp in the book, no probs.

I know I sound like a moaner but really, are my expectations that high?

You are 100% in order and not a moaner or someone with high expectations.
If the buggers cannot provide a decent level of service and return the car washed without swirl marks, then they can sod off. :angry:
I am lucky with VW, West London. The level of care and attention puts Honda to shame.
So far, for the bits an' pieces I have asked for, they have been superb.

I alway's put a large cardboard sign on the dash saying "Please do not wash this car, thank you" everytime mine goes into main dealer.

Have to agree when you do go to sell your car it will sell easier with main dealer stamps in the book but i prefer my local indy specialist .

Hose and vacuum (carpets only and nothing else touched on the inside) but no soaping or drying. No physical contact with the bodywork or wheels.
The toughseal enables the muck to just slip off with ease.

Neil: Main dealer stamp for the service and any 'recommended' work you get back from VW gets done at an Indy garage or Awesome.

VW stamp in the book, FTW!

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
