I'm on the west coast out beyond Dumbarton, had good experiences with JR VW centre in Paisley so I'll probably see if they can have a look.

Re: Rattle at low rpm under load appeared overnight - 6C 1.0
Not a turbo, just a piddly little NA 1.0. It feels quick enough as long as I don't need to accelerate above 45
