I didn't think warranty direct covered modified cars, thought it was standard only?

When i spoke to them on the phone they said they will.

I am just waiting for confirmation in writing. It does say on the website that they only cover OEM unless they have agreed in writing

What symptoms is the car showing, if it is kangaroo hoping in reverse, then this can be very dangerous when on a drive with lots of children about, and god forbid you came close to running one of your neighbours kids over.
I am sure VW would be very interested in this when you point it out to them in a nice letter, also pointing out the terrible press that Toyota have had recently with dangerous cars. 

Mine actually was dangerous when trying to move one inch in my garage, this was exactly at the same time as all the toyota drama was unfolding, 3 days later i had a new one. 

Great Idea !

Thank you again everyone ! I will keep you updated !
