Ryton and Longbridge were poles apart!

What about Honda's in Swindon? Rated by Honda as the best made cars in the whole of their operations.
And that lot up in the NE. Toyota?
Rolls Royce in Chicester?
Is Bentley still in Crewe?
Not to mention Aston Martin.

Its Nissan that are built in the North East, Sunderland in fact.
The government gave Nissan money to employ local people to work at their factory in sunderland as there was a high rate of unemployment at the time. Now its regarded as a very respectable factory.

isn't your 405 on coilovers len? so it wouldnt really be a fair test if you put a standard suspension golf versus a car that hasn't.

Not coilovers no.  The rear has torsion bars and they have been turned to lower and I have 40% uprated shocks. The front has lower springs and Spax adjustable shocks.

This has been no secret from the start in fact i may have evn said as much over 2 years ago when I joined here!

Runs on standard Mi16 15" alloys with 195/55 tyres. Firestones I think????
