Dropped my car off at the garage this morning for 60k service, MOT and new wheels are getting put on at the same time. Hopefully no nasty expensive surprises!

Not bad, passed Mot (woohoo!) and service was fine. Although wheels didn't go on because my original wheel nuts weren't long enough - picking new ones up tomorrow.
Seemed very cheap when I went to pick it up, he charged £105, didn't realise til I got home that he was supposed to have written £145. Think I'm going to be honest and tell him he undercharged me because I'm planning on using the same garage for as long as I'm living down here and I'd feel guilty if I didn't as they are only a small buisness!

Don't do it, it won't hurt this once 
One of the girls at VW charged me the wrong amount on purpose once because she thought it was too much for what had been done
(I'd had my windscreen washers cleaned out because they weren't spraying right, VW wanted 30 odd quid but she charged me £17 something

You're just too nice
Good to hear it all went trouble free anyway, it's always a bonus
Looking forward to Ultimate Dubs, only a week on Sunday
Been finding some good tunes to demo the system.
