This weekend I got the resonator 'delete' pipe fitted at Zaustworx in Burnley, after reading mixed reviews of them i thought it was worth a gamble and i think its an improvement, i feel its how the car should be from factory.
Also the day after we got the car i disabled keyless entry with my work diagnostic kit. Im not sure if theres another way to disable it but told the car it no longer had passive entry handles, so keyless start still works but all doors except tailgate dont open without a press of the remote.
Had the golf a week tomorrow and spent every evening in it so far, very pleased
