It would help if you post a link to the china ebay page, stands a chance that the chinese ones are some kind of knock off tbh but could be wrong.

Welcome btw. :smiley:

Welocome along.

To be blunt, if we can afford £20 odd K cars, why do we worry about saving £100 on a new radio for it?

If you hold out, you will find an as new, genuine, original RCD510 on ebay for less than £250. I initially got stung by buying a radio outside of ebay that never turned up. It took me ages to get my money back. I then looked for another one by refining my search to my local area. Within a few days, one turned up less than 20 miles away. It had been taken from a brand new Eos when they upgraded to a  Kenwood Nav unit. I managed to do a deal with them outside of ebay so they saved their fees, and I didn't have to hand over the cash untill I had the radio in my hands.

Out of interest, what is a Golf R-Line?

I'd heard of the new Scirroco R-Line http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/volkswagen-world/news/394/scirocco-line-up-spring-clean-gives-customers-more-choice-and-value but not the Golf.
