I traded in my manual Mk7.5 PP manual in for a manual Mk8. The Mk7.5 was showing its mileage and had some expensive service work on the horizon. I spotted the Mk8 while I was looking for a replacement. It’s in great condition and came with the nice Estoril wheels. After the test drive I couldn’t say no but it was hard to say goodbye my Mk7.5.

How's many miles was your 7.5 on?

New boots fitted, replaced the Kumho PS71 with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. What an improvement! No more spinning in 3rd (still does in 2nd), massive improvement in road noise, SO much quieter and the don't transmit the knocks and bangs of minor potholes etc.
Fantastic!
