Sorry for a slow reply chaps - mad few weeks, and lots of hassle sorting car stuff, but calming down now! Cheers for a great welcome - replies as follows;
welcome to the forum Dave--remember reading bout your car on the mkiv forum--but you will love the mk5 
Appreciate it - remember you were over on mkivs too - am loving the mk5 so far. Seems very technical compared to my old mkiv...
Welcome Dave, ask yourself in 2 months time if you stay a regular visitor if you've managed to keep to your word where so many have failed 
You will love the Ed30. Superb car
Cheers Steve - will be a regular visitor here. So much valuable info shared on the forums, I'm definitely here for keeps. Will keep going back to ukmkivs too though!
Yeah - know what you mean - the ED30 /mk5 is so tunable. I've probably broken my resolve already as I've bought a set of mk6 LED numberplate lights and R32 front and rear discs...
Safety mods, of course...
Hi and welcome mate
The mk5 is a brilliant car, especially with DSG (IMO).
P.S. This forum is dangerous for your wallet 
Cheers! I love the DSG - just perfect for my commute, and when you want a bit of fun, the car is transformed. Not tried it in 'S' yet...
PS - I am expecting that. Never expected to mod my mkiv so far as I did, but liked the car and just enhanced it rather than changing it. With the MK5, such a good looking & well specced car in standard form, I don't really want to change much at all...
Welcome along! 
Shame about tour Mk4, lovely looking car. 
You'll love the Eddy and in weeks your resolve will be in tatters buddy, trust me. Nothing we like more than helping peeps spend their hard earned. 
Thanks MC71! Loved my mkiv - sad to say it was about to be retired to be a hobby / 2nd car after so many years of service! Wanted something newer to run everyday, and before I got to doing it, BANG, and that was that...
You're right - loving the ED30 - plan to be more restrained with this one, but there are some OEM additions I want to add!
Lovely car, can I ask what the mileage on it is and how much you paid - looks great Welcome along chap!
Hi Dom, it's on 47k. Paid about what you were asking for your car with mods - definitely more than most on autotrader, but buying from VW I was happy to have the warranty and a bit more peace of mind. Most for sale privately are pushing highish miles...
Shame about the MK4 matey. If you'd of gazibo'd it yourself at least you could say 'fair play...' but non fault claims are always the most frustrating 
Your ED30 looks absolutely cracking, very similar appearance to my old GTI so bit biased
Cheers - love the colour! My satin silver mkiv got a few comments from some peeps as they didn't believe it was a standard colour, but love the steel grey. Reminds me of my first car - a mk3 in storm grey...
Where in Berkshire are you based? Dave, happy to give the car a scan using VCDS for you if you're close to Bracknell area just to help you out
Cheers Dom - that's very good of you - may take you up on that! I'm in Maidenhead, but work in Winnersh. Hope there's nothing wrong with the car, but I used to have Vagcom for my old mkiv - useless now as the new car is Canbus whereas the old one wasn't!
the DSG is awesome isn't it...
might see you on the road, work in Bracknell myself too... and i've got the same colour, same spec.. spooky...
what sort of OEM mods are you thinking of?
Very much so - really enjoying the DSG!
Will look out for you - I work in Winnersh, so will keep an eye out on the A329...
OEM mods - so far, just thinking of mk6 LED numberplate lights (bought), new H/U, would really love the highline MFD & MFSW, and folding mirrors. Nothing else to add then!
Welcome, great colour, one i couldnt find at the time. Dave from mkivs.net as in dave & jess, dave. Or dave that lost the indicators in the car park at North wales show?
Thanks Frodo! Colour of this one was one of a few reasons why I bought it over a Pirelli...
I'm neither of those Dave's, but sound interesting chaps! My username on mkivs.net is the same as here... :)
