...bit of a late update, but, i took the golf into my old employers (www.hallmark-cars.com) had rear bearings, disks and pads all done. will be going back soon to have front disks, pads, cv gaiter.

Front tyres need replacing soooooon was thinking toyo proxies tr1 (think thats what they are called)

Checked my dissy, seems ok but the rota arm looks abit 'used'  :shocked:, and discoverd it need new plugs and filter already  :rolleyes:

...seems like everydays christmas day for this car  :grin:

There are some people on here that don't like it when somebody refers to a car as she or her... but I can't help it, they are like woman that like to be frequently pampered!

They really are like women, right from the start they eat up all your money, when you first get one you are always in and out of her  :shocked: And then after a while you spend more time out in the cold wishing you could get inside her again  :laugh:

Keep up the good work Stow  :cool:
