  1. When I used to work on the same industrail estate as kwik fit I took my GTI there to get a nail removed from my tyre. Saw some little twit hooning it around the carpark after. Was not impressed at all and they were'nt apologetic either, safe to say i'll never go back.

  2. I find the entire thing gets covered in oil.. bloody hard to read what the level is!?

     

    As said its not hard to read at all if you let the oil go totally cold. If its even slightly warm then yes the oil is all over the dipstick but when totally cold on a flat surface its very clear where the oil level is.

     

     

    Good tip, I live on a hill so have to drive somewhere flat to check the oil properly but it warms up a bit and is tough to read. Just checked at work (level carpark) and the level was clear as day :thumbs:

  3. At the moment i do a 30mile round trip to work and spend about £70 a week on fuel (tesco momentum). If you drive like a grandma maybe but thats not really the point of the car. Also tyres/ servicing will cost more than the vx. The smiles per mile are immesurable tho :teeth:

  4. Hey everyone, my front nearside brake has developed a squeal and ive got a feeling its the pads possibly the pad wear indicator. Just got a few newbie questions before i buy new ones....

     

    Is it worth upgrading to higher perfomance pads over OEM brembo pads for just road driving with the occasional hoon?

     

    If so can they be fitted to OEM discs and calipers?

     

    Where would be the cheapest place to buy?

     

    Thanks

     

    (sorry if this has been covered before, i got tired of trawling through the index :headhurt: )
