Have a good Christmas and hope your car gets repaired too  :smiley:

I think it'll be in Mill clinic 5th or 6th Jan - they were waiting on one part last time I called (I should call them back today).

The other side still have not responded to Aviva (their insurer) to put their side of the story over. It's a clear cut case of their fault, but if they continue playing silly buggers by not acknowledging Aviva's requests to fill in an accident statement, i'll have to pay my excess up front and get my insurance to pursue them for it.

Have a good Christmas, i'm sure you'll be on here over the holidays - there are only so many times you can watch old Bond films and Jurassic park 2 (again!) before you're reaching for the computer.  :grin:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

condensation within fog light units... a result of the gti trying to make its way through a river that was supposed to be a road :) most of the water has evaporated but it's been 3 weeks now and there's still condensation almost round the clock.  any 'easy' ways to open up the units and clean them?

Ayia Nik. Don't see many GTIs about, mine was the first (and I think only) Mk7 GTI on island.

i did spot a white mk7 GTI parked outside a convenience store just off Makarios hospital in Nicosia, must have been over a month ago, still had its test drive plates on.  but u r right, not too many GTIs on the island which makes it feel even more special to drive.  when i got mine in late 2009 it was also the first mk6 sold here and i know they haven't sold that many after - in the past 5 years, believe it or not, i only came across another mk6 five times tops.
