BMW quoted me €760 for a new Vanos unit, managed to get him to reduce it down to €684 with discount but they won't have it until roughly the 16th :eek: Managed to get one off of CarParts-Pros for €685 delivered so hoping I get that within the week

There was that one, eerrrr, I think it was a VW Golf GTI.

And then I replaced that with my current car, which is something similar. Now I come to think about it, that one's a Golf GTI to as well actually.

Better the devil you know i suppose!

your first one was the mk V?

Both remarkably reliable compared to their stablemates.

If you have an NCT which is out by months and months but you have a new one booked are you "covered legally" so to speak? Car is taxed and insured as is.

No, you can only legally drive it to the test center and back or to a garage for NCT repairs.
