Did you get the wheels sorted with that firm for £60 each? What sort of job did they do?

Cheers,

Xenon lights and driving in Europe

Hi,

I'm driving in Europe in my GTi in August and I was wondering if anyone knew a way of converting the Xenons to point to the right-hand-side. I was reading somewhere that you can't put the black converter stickers on Xenon's.

Any ideas?
Cheers,
Simon

Anyone got a stiff ....

:P

Does anyone have a stiff clutch pedal or is it just my GTi? Mine seems stiffer than usual and it was reported when the service was done.

Cheers

Mine are bad.. All 4 of them. So it means probably sending them to S&P and leaving my car on bricks for a week. :cry:

Under the glovebox

Hi everyone,

Got my Polo GTI 3-dr 2000 Satan Silver (with red seatbelts and number 1's on the seats) in Feb 03 and its been fun.

I just have a quick question, under the glove box, there's a plastic cover that keeps popping out.. It tends to be aggreviated by passengers knocking it with their feet ...
