PLEEEEEASE somebody tell me they've had a similar issue and I'm not JUST totally useless  :ashamed: :ashamed: :ashamed:
I'll clean her again the next time there's a dry weekend though!

Don't be so hard on your self. Nothing is ever easy. Getting the boot interior trim off is a pita i broke two clips. Take your time. Get some pointers before you start.. or loose your temper and break something.

Not sure if you have one handy, but a Ball joint separator has worked for me before. Just need to put a cloth or something behind it to protect the glass. This is one from Halfords:

Okay, an update! I gave up  :sad1:

Decided that it was time to call it a day and go to bed, went a wee drive first so I can go to bed with a wee smile on my face though! The boyfriend is gonna have a look tomorrow.. I'll ask if he can supple me tools and lemme know how best to go about it so I can at least say I've finished a job by myself  :ashamed: :ashamed: I've never done anything like this before so it would be nice to say I have haha, even if it's just a tiny thing!

Keep going. First time I changed an oil filter on my mk2 it took over 8 hours and several layers of skin to get it off. Now it takes less that 5 minutes. Practise makes perfect!

Agreed! If you never try any of these jobs you'll never learn, but once you have attempted a few things then it all becomes a little less scary. Good luck - your Eddy is looking amazing.

Definitely keep the ED30 wheels, they look awesome, but I recon you can find the perfect balance between stance and power!   :evilgrin:

Okay, so the wiper-arm had "seized on" apparently.. I forgot that I work in a car dealership and could just ask the workshop guys to use their tools  :ashamed: :pomppomp:

Car is now de-wipered  :grin:

So when we all said about getting tools, you actually have access to a full garage already? Not fair... :sad1:

So with my last car getting 480 miles to a £44 tank.. I expected to cry at the fuel costs with the edition.. I've done 151 miles to half a tank. I think that's fantastic! Meaning I'll get approx 280-300 miles out of a tank while town driving  :confused: HOW?! That's not cry-worthy  :signLOL:

The fuel economy of the GTIs is what swayed me to them!

I would get around 320 miles to a full tank in my standard GTI.

I'm sad today  :sad1:



Notice anything about this picture? The lack of tinted light to the left is bothering me.. I can't find one on ebay to replace it either. Am I going to have to go to the main stealers?  :sick:

You'll be lucky to find one on its own so may have to go dealers - worth trying your local TPS and say your in the trade and they will give you a bit of a discount. Or if your feeling brave you could separate the lense and spray the red backing black and you will have the same look as the rest  :happy2:
