Thanks Eugene.

She doesn't like rocco's though and as they only have 2 rear seats it's no use anyway.

It doesn't matter if the so called desirable brand car is new or approved used, they all have their foibles.

@KP - It's a 20" SC alloy and all is in hand. In truth, the damage is very minor. However, wheelrite.co.uk - my tried and much trusted professional of choice - has quoted me an excellent price for a full tyre off refurb within the next couple of weeks. Only thing is, they'll all need done so they match

No worries fella

Just don't leave it up on axle stands too long lol

How about he new A class? They seem to be doing good reliability wise and are quite sharp looking IMO or a nice DS3?! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

... and all gone sour because of denial that there are and hence refusing to rectify obvious faults that in truth, should easily be remedied. Disappointed is an understatement.

I always like those alloys on the golf, though I don't think the mrs would like them on her 1.6tdi with the roads round here lol

Saying that though she lost her free service vouchers and they fiend all knowledge of ever giving them to her  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

To be honest, the best all round and most reliable car and peasant service (though my LR dealer is v nice to me) has been the skoda, in 6 years it has barely missed a beat, the one thing i had done under warranty was painless, it was mint when collected, and has really only wanted for oil and tyres in our custody. Would have an octavia VRs estate over a golf GTI any day of the week, and thats nothing to do with price!

The new one looks nice enough, but to be honest it is pretty much the same as mine so i wont be swapping any time soon.

I do really like the superb estate though There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

They look very attractive bang per buck wise so a superb choice though in recent years although most running gear is the same across the vag group the skoda's just feel lower quality inside which my last boss echoed when he moved on from his octavia vrs tdi dsg estate to an approved used 320d tourer... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
