Fitted new disc and pads, just genuine spec. Can feel the car stopping at the slightest touch of the brake pedal. Is that normal? I had more pedal travel before, before the car started to slow down.

As it was a nice day I decided to drag the wife n kids up the 274 steps up Cheddar Gorge, about 10 miles from home.
Please be kind as I only have a compact camera with 20x zoom but walking up I noticed my car parked and other cars had left, so I took some pictures.

So after the new tyres were fitted yesterday a "Check tyre pressure" message flashed up on the dash. Now considering i didn't know the car had TPMS (it didn't show on the VCDS scan anyway) i was a little shocked!

IT TOOK ME THREE HOURS TO FIND THE FECKING RESET BUTTON!

So VW i want to know two things.
1 - Why is the button in the glove box
2 - If it has to be in the glove box, and there is no logical reason why it has to be. Why is it hidden out of plain view!

Technically not today, but had a full SuperPro bush kit (front and rear) and H&R anti roll bars fitted at AKS.

Feel any different?

Yeah, it does. Still waiting till I've covered more miles and let everything settle in before making a judgement about it all. Plus Alex wanted me to pop back into AKS to check everything is all good after some miles as things can come loose.

I had no problems with my lights. However the number plate did fall off so now they illuminate my taped on plate really well so you can see from even further away my bodge job. :signLOL:
