But then again, speaking to my mate;
Non-LED Bi-Xenons, should be £270 a side, can do them for £190,
LED versions, should be £347 a side, can do them for £232 a side, although there is only one set left of the LED versions before they're on back order, wonder who'll get them??
Having a look at Doc's guide, looks like I can use my existing ballasts :)

Got the car back from VW today,
Auxiliary belt replaced so no more chirping from the engine, replaced the offside wiper arm to stop it banging on the window, but the main one;
Soft ware update applied, they said the car has never been updated in it's whole life since new, so there were plenty of updates, took a few hours apparently. They say this has stopped the juddering issue I'm having by changing the mapping slightly, and from what I can see and feel, it may have worked. Will properly test when I'm in Devon next week, nice biiiiggggg hillstart near my dad's house :( :(

Well, I've been thinking about the car, and I've decided to treat myself for my 21st this October :)
I'm still going to carry out the mods, should be getting the rear lights done this week as I've got the week off.
But when I'm 21, I'm going to look at the passat r36, a car I never knew they made! Haha.
Seen a few on auto trader, lovely looking cars :) just need to make sure I can afford to run it! But for now, back to modding the golf!

Please don't take this the wrong way mate and i'm not trying to be a smart arse, but you had a bit of bother when trading to the golf (which we're all glad you did :wink:) so is it worth throwing a load more money at it if you've got another car in mind already? You'll get some back if you sell the mods but going to something like an R36 which will be a massive money pit i think i'd be trying to save a few quid. Just my 2p which you can tell me to shove up my @rse if you like :smiley:

I could not resist responding.
Jimble is on the money.

Dan, why on earth do you wish to buy a massive family-size boring gas guzzling repmobile barge with zero handling flair like the Passout? Calm down, take a reality check, enjoy driving your present car, spend more time with your girlfriend, marry her tout suite and get her pregnant. I am being serious.  :wink: :smiley:

Nice enough car if you need the size but if its size and it was me for the money the phaeton or superb secondhand would be my choice or something a little smaller an octavia vRS.

Yeah can see where you're all coming, just always had a soft spot for the r32 :(
I'll take all of your advice and adhere to it :)
Would love a V6 though :(

Dan:
You have a lovely car, you have showered it with love, made it unique, it is a car of our times by being both economical and ecologically freindly. Have fun with it! :cool:
