If your not thinking of getting another golf what about a focus st? Vxr are nice and all but its a Vauxhall and my mate has had 2 vxrs both with problems to the gearbox. The st is a nicer car in my opinion inside and also nicer to drive. Other than that I do like the vxr  :happy2: I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever you get.  :driver:

Not a fan of fords to be honest, I had a fiesta st and it was the worst car I've ever owned, if the engine isn't to bad on the gti I'll keep it but if it's completely gone I'll get my money back and get a vxr

Spoke to the garage last night the golfs coming back all safe and sound.
They said the tensioner on the oil pump etc had gone causing the light to come on and the rattle was the chain.
Glad it's nothing major will be glad to get her back

They said there was no oil starvation, if it's not right when it comes back and goes again then I will flip out

Think about it logically.... the oil pressure warning light was on, which means there was (next to) no oil pressure which is oil starvation. Obviously the garage will do the bare minimum/cheapest option every time. Bang a new part in it and send it out, hope it doesn't come back.

The way 99% of garages operate unfortunately

I had this issue on GTI. New Oil Pump and New Chain and I'm currently driving the car. Its spot on.
However when the engine light came on I switched engine off instantly
