Hi Gizzy. Am doing a Blackberry reply on a train on my way to a wedding in West Sussex. Decided not to take Wolgang as I want to get mullered. I have to give a speech which will be very outrageous. No rattles so far and gear Ed30  knob and LEDs installed this Thurs. The knob feels and looks great. Bloody costly. After Thurs ony Sat Nav, Bluetooth and rear diffuser to do. Nearly there!

Ahh bless, well I have a pair of Oakleys so they're not that small but they won't fit in the proper sunglasses holder so I have to tuck them in the other cbbyhole and they do fit in there.  Nice to find something in your car that you didn't know you had, wish I could find £50 quid. :laugh:

Gizzy

Mine are the GTI ones from VW, not tried them in the cubbyhole without case, maybe they'll go in without it?
Yes, was nice to find something I didn't know about  :rolleyes:, but no 50 quid in mine either  :cry:

Those GTI sunglasses are nice but being female I'd look a bit butch wearing them. :grin:
Whatever the problems with the rattles and such like it is a great fun car to drive and I just love getting in for a run ot, I have to think up an excuse now and the to go out. :wink:

Gizzy

Gizzy, it's strange, but why did I not expect you to be female? :embarassed: There's no way of knowing  :laugh:

Ha ha there you go you never can tell, think there's three females on this forum myself, Rolfe and Ann aka naa.

Gizzy:
I log on, you log off! Charming my dear!
Great wedding. Mullered. Whole pig roasted! Yum, yum.

Back to topic:
How old is your car? When did you notice any new or an ncrease in the number of squeaks and rattles? I have a feeling we are all going to follow suit, unfortunately.
Is the rattle just from the driver's door lock or is the front passanger door doing the same?
Sorry for all these questions.

>> folding mirrors sometimes don't work (but to be fair this hasn't happened for a few months)

I've had the same problem with mine, combination of them sometimes not folding in on park but there seems to be an intermittent issue with the passenger mirror not resetting to drive position after it's dropped on reverse automatically.

I had this with my last car but touch wood it is one problem I haven't had with the new one.  I used to frequently drive down a particularly narrow road and always folded the wing mirrors in, but occasionally, one of them wouldn't fold out again, so I know how annoying it can be.

An update on my car.   Got my GTD back from the garage today and it is going from bad to worse :sad:

When I took delivery of the car there was a deep scratch on the left headlight.  Don't worry they said we will order in a part and get that fixed for you.   I took it in three weeks later thinking it would take a couple of hours at most to change the glass.  When I arrived back at the garage they told me it was a very long job and they had to dismantle the front of the car to fit a completely new headlamp unit.   When I eventually got the car back, there was a very large gap between the bumper and the side panel of the car and the bumper stood out proud.  

I took the car in yesterday for them to fix this.  Apparently they couldn't fix it because the brackets, in their words, "had been spoiled"!!!!!!  It is now worse than ever with both sides of the bumper sticking out proud of the side panels and unaligned.   I have been told they will be ordering in new brackets to fix the bumper, but have to wait 2 weeks until they have a courtesy car available because "it will be a big job".  

To cut a long story short, my new GTD looks as if it has been in a crash, and has become very noisy.   I have also noticed that between the dashboard and the left hand door I have a large gap, so does this mean that the door isn't adjusted properly as well?

I am so angry I could scream, and added to the useless media player that is 10 years behind current technology, it will certainly be my last VW.   :angry:  You may have noticed that I am a little upset about all this lol.

Ann

PS - I am using either safari or firefox and I can't see a 'start new topic' displayed anywhere on the page.   Where has the link gone?

Ann: Could you not have rejected the car initially?
This is absolutely awful.
So sorry to hear to hear this and I really feel for you.
Do you think another dealer might be less useless?
