That's my thoughts pal,
A tenner for all parts and you got a deal

Can I pay in instalments?

No mate cash up front will need it fuel in a V8 M3

Been out for a spin this morn in the GTi
Why is this car such a good alrounder and the best car I have owned despite its little problems, considering the stick it gets throughout the year,
Yesterday I was fuming and today have calmed down, this car is great, why am I thinking of chucking it in just cos the dealers are arseholes

See what today brings

I know exactly how you feel Neil,
I had no end of trouble with a VW dealer, then with VW outsourced customer service department and then VWuk direct.
I have then had no end of issues with the local dealer network too.
VWuk imo is a joke.

It is these types of issues that make you want to buy from another manufacturer. However if you like the GTI that much then you have to decide is it worth the hassle?

I am very luck my dealer is great but then again I have been using them for 18 years now and things weren't always as good.

Ref M3 if you have a V8 itch then go and fill your boots 

Don't know how long cars like the M3 will continue to be made. Not my cup of tea but I really want a V8 as as I haven't owned one yet.

I'm glad the red mist is wearing off - these thing really grind - I know with mine I felt like shouting at the dealer but thought what good would it do apart from making me look like an idiot?

Thing is the grass is greener on the other side until you jump over the fence.  Thinking about my friends and work mates they have had issues with their non-VW cars - one had his BMW 1 in for air con sorting under warranty which was a dash out job.  When they put it back in they "forgot" to reconnect half the bl00dy switches including the steering wheel buttons not working either so can't have tested it properly either - you guess he wasn't happy! "Sorry sir, when can you bring it in for us to look at" didn't go down too well with him !!!

Thanks for your comments guys, I think we have all felt like this at sometime or another,
 I had another call today from the guy at VWuk who said that he kept pondering over the outcome that came about yesterday and wasn't happy,
He said that he as been fighting my corner this morning and has managed to get 50% off the repair price that VW had quoted, which I found out was £293.00+vat so the repair would cost me around £230
The only problem was I had to go to my local dealer for this 
He was a really genuine nice guy who I thought tried his very best for me but I said to him thank you for all your efforts but I will never set foot in that dealership again,
He offered that I could take it to another VW dealership, I also politely turned that down,
I rang the Indy specialist this aft who is sorting it for £170

The longest I have ever kept a car is 2 years
I have had this just over 3 years and with all the mods goes, stops and handles superb,
Is it time to scratch the itch and is the grass greener on the other side ??
I don't think it is yet

Had a call from a mate today to say that he'd sold his 335i and picked up a 59 Plate M3


WHAT A CAR!!!!
