Mate congrats on your purchase.

You got the best colour too!

Wanted a prebuilt one but couldn't find one with the right comb of specs and in the end went for a used one and found an ED30.

Hope you get a kick outta owning as much as I do. My heart palpitates everytime I think about my car.

Thanks again guys!

Nice bit of friendly banter going on  :grin:

Has anybody else experienced the rattling that I explained in my first post? Only occurs on rough road surfaces mind.

Both the MK5 GTI's I have owned have rattled somewhere at some stage. There is a common issue behind the heater vents on the centre console above the radio which if im not mistaken there was a thread on here some time back covering it, and a fix. I think Hurdy has done this?
The other rattle comes from the light cluster/sunglasses holder in the roof, again there was a thread covering this. Try the seach function if you fancy having a go yourself rather than the 'not so carefull' dealer!!

Good luck  :wink:
