I have a Passat 2.0TDI and received the letter from VW saying that it will be recalled next year for the mod. I don't want it, and if they screw up mpg or performance, I'll be getting it chipped. I think I would be handing it back and wanting a full refund. Mis sold, sale of goods act etc

normally at this stage in the joke, there would be an Irishman, a Scotsman and a Welshman as well, but they're all still at the Rugby World Cup.

I've just been thinking exactly the same thing !

Does any one else feel a strange but delirious joy that people in the oil industry finally feel a bit of the pain that most of us have felt for many years?

There are choices that we can all make, pain and gain all too often go along together.

Without quoting your whole post.............. What have you been smoking?

Exactly, summer lasted nowhere as long as a whole weekend

Something similar here. Seismic industry ex-pat no longer required in Houston, now back to a damp, cold, windy Scotland.

The real bummer is, I sold my R1200S before I went....

I don't know which is going to kill me first.

Fit one of these, see if it helps.
