It's a good call but for say 8 caravan breaks a year it makes more sense to buy a car mainly for daily use that's ok for towing as opposed to a better car for towing that's less suitable for daily life. The tigs size / boot is too lacking for our daily use with the kids etc. That's the main reason ...

Don't you fancy something a little more suited for towing like a Tiguan? Being sat up a little higher and having bigger mirrors helps for better all round visibility when towing. Plus a taller car punches a bigger hole through the air making the transition of the air over the car to the 'van smoothe...

Regarding DSG maps, you won't see any gains. You'll just have full manual control as opposed to VWs version of manual.

This is what Revo say about theirs https://www.onlyrevo.com/product-detail ... sg-stage-1

With regards to the last 2, DSG, I wouldn't have anything else now, however it's very subjective. It will take a couple of weeks to learn how to get the best out of it, so a 10 minute test drive won't tell you the whole truth. You may love it and never look back, or you might hate it. It all depends...

Bloody hell, it is right what they say about the Scots. Most would consider £15 worth a punt to see if they would work, but not consider sending them back if the were no good.

How much will the postage, packaging and the diesel to get you to the post office cost you to return them?

Are you sure you replied to the right post?

But if people didn't buy new cars, there would be no second hand cars for people on a tighter budget, or who prefer to spend their money differently. There's no right or wrong way about it. New cars are a lifestyle choice, just like big houses and expensive holidays. Some people like to have them, o...

This is my take on it having just spent over £700 on a service, cambelt and a few necessary jobs on my Mk2 Golf. If you spend the money, you'll know that you will have a good car under you for a good while to come. Getting rid and buying something else (I presume we're not talking reasonably new car...

Gloss black mirrors would work well with the other bits. Bang on trend too.

Wheel center caps can be bodged to fit by wrapping some insulation tape around the lugs to make them a tighter fit.

What does the number plate stand for?

It's unlikely your car will have the plug for the power seat. All cars have a bespoke wiring loom dependent on spec or options fitted. You'd thing that would make no sense to do that, but seemingly it saves a couple of quid. I can't see it needing more than a fused 12V supply and an earth tho'. They...

I don't know. Sorry.

Why didn't you buy tips that had angled ends like the original pipe?

Hi, Apparently it is a common problem. I have exactly the same car and the same problem. It is due to a bad rear suspension design. Tyre stepping is the reason of the noise. It goes away when you put new set on, but comes back after couple hundreds miles when they get stepped too. Excessive rear to...

The problem with van or 4x4 rated wheels are they are generally much heavier. This has a negative affect on performance, handling and fuel consumption. Adding adaptors and spacers increases the unsprung weight too.

B6 ones will fit as well, but may not be plug and play.

You got your cars title a bit mixed up. It's an R-line. That's all. They all have Bluemotion Technology. Many seats can be made to fit, but you are right in thinking there will be differences in mountings, and airbag, heating wiring. Passat Sport seats are comfy, supportive, good looking a simple sw...

Could it be your wife?

Which cameras?

The reversing cam will be aparent when you reverse, and if you have High Beam Assist, you'll have a forward facing camera in the windscreen for that. Are there others?

Everything has already been said.

Unlike 10 years ago when this place was buzzing about shows, nothing ever gets mentioned anymore. To be honest, I've grown out of it all, but was reminded that UD was on over the weekend when I saw a slunk down B6 going through Church Stretton yesterday afternoon. In the past, by now the forum would...

The value of anything only really matters when you sell it. For many on here, a car with a value of £600 is worth far more to them as they know they have a good well sorted car under them that has a good few years of service left in it. So stick some £250 trims on it if you like them. They won't mak...

First thing assuming they are halogen lights, would be to listen to see if the motors are working. If they are, the chances are that the ball on the arm of the motor is not correctly fitted in the socket of the light unit.

Did he think about how he was going to get back in the car to move it out of the puddle without getting wet boots on his carpet. Maybe he'll float in on a surf board ? Or perhaps he opened the door and let all that water out of the footwells as he'd spent more time trimming the seats with curtains t...

It's much easier to remove the bumper and take the headlight out. It's not as daunting as is seems. It's only screws and clips after all.

Would that work on my Amarok? The spare wheel carrier is under the bed floor, so plenty of room for it.
