I got F1 Asy2's this summer for that price from lovetyres.com, were still cheaper than Camskill even with the £40 Tesco fuel voucher offered at the time.

I just ordered 2 tyres from there as well! Next Day delivery, will be using them again!

Haven't drove the car yet :( I've taken a reading with vcds of the fault codes, deleted them all and see what happens next.

Hopefully I should get alot better mpg on the motorway now, I've been averaging 25 for months.

Ill take a pic of the DV later and post it on my thread. One of the worst I've seen.

I bought the DV with a second hand solenoid as a pack, so i don't know. Sorry I can be of any help.

Put my winter Monza's on with cold weather tyres.

Used Dragon's Breath to great effect, and had a guy driving by enquire if my car would be for sale.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

After 4 and a bit years of ownership, just had another cam belt, tensioner and waterpump done at my local VW dealership, along with another DSG oil and filter service.  Well looked after again so thank you Parkway VW :happy2:. Car feels smoother so very happy :pomppomp:.
OEM+ 2005 GTI DSG (high factory standard spec and upgraded with S3 alloy hubs, S3 alloy wishbones, Bilstein B8s and VWR springs by my own hands) owned since 2008 and still loving it!

It's an ex forum car as it has the Edition30 badge under the GTI which the idea was born on this very forum  :innocent:

having had loads of quotes for rectifying a car parking scuff on the rear bumper ranging from £250-£500 to sort out took it to ASC in Witney who said they could polish it out there and then, which they did and no charge, so now doing some work on the 35 before its departure

Hankook W310s turned up today to go on the spare set of rims so will be interesting how they perform

Received my DM K04+ Loader in the mail so I made one last "GIAC tune" vid to have for comparison to the new DM tune once it is up and running. Made arrangements for use of the RR at PSI when ready as well ;)
