Gutted, thanks for letting me know, did they charge you about £70 for checking.

I might send mine into VW as well.

£65 inc vat.
They do a health check aswell, dropped the bombshell I need discs and pads all round. I changed my interior lights to led last night aswell and blew a fuse, they said the interior lights weren't working and quoted me £145 for a new one, I went to halfords and bought a new fuse for £2 and it was working lol

Going to do these led lights myself. Where did they pull that £145 quote from?

Surely the fuse was just a 10amp on the right side of the dash no?
