Thanks for the welcome's 
still no car back dealers saying another 3 weeks yet, not a happy chappy.
Also sick of the funny looks i getting driving the bug, sure people thinking i bat for the other side(not that there is anything wrong wi that) was sat at lights the other day gti pulls alongside guy looked disappointed when he saw a lad driving!! He then smirkrd to himself and shot off when they turned green.
thanks again for the welcome
I hate that, I had a new engine after 4 months of ownership and hated when someone pulled up next to me whilst in the rental, things I would have done to be in the Ed30 then

Still happens now

Cant wait to get another decent car, was thinking cooper s but may push a little more in and go for a standard GTI DSG. If your really that fussed about the car, take it back to VW and kick up a fuss and they will sort you a Golf out. I did, tried fobbing me off with a 1.2 Polo..managed to get a brand new Jetta from them.
