had the car in to get serviced today and investigate the dead battery i had last week
they did tests on the battery (as i did yesterday too) and found no fault and no error codes on the car and they cant explain why this happened.

i will just have to see how it goes
they also forgot to change the cabin filter, which i guessed the might but i caught it and they gave me one to take home, which fitted tonight
took the car for a blast up to hartside as it hasnt had a proper run in a while other than supermarkets etc
a good drive - really brought home how crap the brakes are though having been driving my clio alot recently
the GTI brakes are horrendous for a fast car.
washed (2nd time in 24 hours

), battery charged and put away as the clio is coming out to play now.
