I've just noticed its raining outside. Can't see any bee's either, but I see lots of girls coming out of Uni, and I wish I was 20 again 

On a more seriouse not Kev , how you getting with the Candy white?

Are you doing the detaling youself?

Loving it, when she's nice and clean its stunning. She's due a wax again soon as the warmer weather is picking up a little here so will hopefully get that done.

Yeah, I do it all myself, its theraputic and really very rewarding. The detailing section is pretty good, the guys are spot on with their advice, especially Guy and Dan. I'm sure its a straight section so you may not be allowed in being the only ghay in the forum 

I do my own as well , spoken to the lads in the detailing section and learnt a lot in there over the past couple of years , the best one is claying just brilliant that stuff.

Oil was very low this morning on the GTD, it almost took a pint of oil? Do diesel's burn more oil? thanks Steve

Well here goe's , i know i'm going to get slauterd here , but i can take it!!

I think ive made a mistake going from a GTI to the GTD, i am having my doubts now on the performance of the car missing the fizz & handling?? 

Steve I have not got the time to troll through the 11 pages posted so far so forgive me if I am repeating what has already been written.
I have been driving VW diesels for the best part of 20 years. Normally it takes some 4,000mls before you see your true mpg. The engine can take up to 6,000 mls and more before it loosens up.
Handling of diesels is not bad but it will never match the flow of a petrol car t

Yes for the first 10,000 mils keep your eye on the oil. After the engine is beded down iol consumption lowers

I'm very happy with the MPG , 53 on motorway at 75 is good for me!! ED30 was 30mpg , 18 around town.

Sorry I thought going by your orignal post you were not sure if you had made the right choice getting a GTD.
You seem to be happy now thats all that matters not what anyone else thinks.
Yes I have tried the GTD and I would say its a great car you have got. I have a GTI on order and am looking so forward to getting behind the wheel. Had a drive of my sister in laws new Mini Copper S the other day. WOW what a drive but I would never buy a Mini for myself , I mean I have a family.

My hair is too short mate . Ordered the GTI in December and have been told mid April for delivery though that has yet to be confirmed. As long as I get it for the Summertime a bit shocked at the price as with extras it is not too far short of 30,000 grand so I think I will be keeping this car and running it into the ground.
