Drove it 180 miles home from Devon.
Then replaced the wiper mechanism (the old one was screeching but actually not semi-seized as I thought). Replaced the side indicators which were wet inside, with some new VW items.
It then chucked it down with rain so I got National Tyres to do the oil and filter. £49 for Fuchs Titan C-3 and a Unipart filter.
All ready for an early start to Midland VW in the morning...
