 Name and shame......it was the warmist day by far down here on the south coast....well in the New Forest today, and i saw 2 x MK2's with roofs up.....I didn't wave cause of the shame.....so you in the green un turning into Calmore hang your head in shame, and the other in Totton coloured silver.......

 I'd get a new boss mate....he is well out of order, he should let you have it over 4 months at least, is it worth loosing a valuable member of staff over a smashing looking car?......

 Not just them, i had new disc's and brake pads on a corsa recently.....2 weeks later i took the car back to the same place as it had an oil leak, which they repaired, and at the same time did a "Health check" on the car, and told me that the front disc's were down to 75%......it had only done about 600 miles on them, I ...

 Your best bet is to buy a sturup pump, they last for years, are very quick, and go upto about 180 psi so you can inflate bike tyres/airbeds etc....and not need the legs of a bodybuilder to do it. They cost about £20-£30 and are great. look on the bay/Halfords....foot pumps are crap 

 It's a disgrace that VW didn't give a plan of the fuses in the owners book......if they are always changing, and printing new books costs too much...why don't they have a "downloadable" sheet on their website so you can print one off yourself and stick it in your book? Ask them to give you a plan of your fuse ...

 I have a V70 and had simular issues with the EML coming on, main dealer in Southampton hang your head in shame, took it to an Idi who said he didn't know what it was but said there was a bloke in the Winchester volvo dealership who was "old school" and I went up there. He took it out with me, agreed the lack of power thing, ...
