    The warranty will still be valid as the issue was reported during the valid warranty period (if that makes sense!).

    VW Up! GTI

    Had a run out in it on some of my favourite local roads, yesterday and it was as good as I'd hoped. Enough power and road holding was great. It's tightly sprung, but no worse than the GR Of course, had to pop here for a coffee.

    VW Up! GTI

    Quite a colourful drive . . . Popped round to my local friendly MOT testers place on the way home, stuck it on the ramp and everything seems in order (was MOT'd on Monday). Bonus it has a Milltek exhaust on it - no wonder it sounds more 'fruity' than usual . . . EDIT: £600 for a Milltek...

    Probably a mistake on my part, but joined a Facebook group for this model and received this comment: I'm calling bullshit as even trying to follow up this person gets no response. Just wondering why some random person would come up with this sort of rubbish. BTW the Car Vertical report is...

    Just had a pleasant afternoon giving this a good polish - old school Autoglym Super Resin polish followed by Extra Gloss Protection. (Doors to do next time I wash it, arms were aching!)

    I seem to have bought another car . . . I bought a 2010 Renault Twingo 1.2 back in 2018 for the sum of £2000. The kids used it to learn to drive and then scoot around in. Just MOT'd it and it had a load of advisories and it was covered in minor dents etc. #1 daughter has her own car now and #1...

    GR86 GR86 Snagging List - Resolved Items

    Different part number to that quoted by @Sonic, but £3.29 later I have it. Didn't realise it has a screw thread to affix it - wonder what happened to the original :unsure: It will go onto the pile of stuff I have to fit, when I get the car back from the storage compound, when I finished doing...

    I've had a HKS Foam panel filter in since I got the car, but it wasn't 'cleanable' and it was dirty so . . .

    Looking round to replace my 'foam' performance air filter with a K&N and a search of the part number (33-5060) lead to 'Euro Car Parts' and it seems very very cheap - can pick it up tomorrow :unsure:

    Just noticed I'm missing something. Before I make a trip to the dealers to order another, would anyone happen to know the part number (or even if there is a +5hp TRD item :giggle: )

    460 mile round trip to Killin Highland Games, Scotland. Managed around 39mpg, also managed to pick up a screw on a rear tyre on the way there o_O. Added a bit of air at some services and ½ tin of tyreweld when I got to the games (with a quick spin around the street to spread it inside) and it...
