Booth, helpful as ever!! I will have a look at the guides etc and hopefully get it back up and running!

Karcher K5. No problems with that. It just occurs on the snow foam. Someone has suggested blocked lance due to the hard water area I live in. Sounds reasonable.

Can anyone explain why my new short gun and lance combo is not spraying continously. It sprays then the pressure drops, sprays, pressure drop etc. (can not think how else to explain it) Any suggestions.

I'll be moving mine on soon too. I will be working closer to home meaning I can walk. Mine is on a PCP which I can clear and still bank a nice lump which I will sit on until prices return to normal and I need a car. The wife owns an S3 so I will still get to have a blast when the need arises! Just seems like a sensible time to sell up and I suspect others will be considering doing the same.

I think the delay in reporting will be Auto glasses 'get out of jail free card' They could have been pinched in the intervening period (slim I know) Fingers crossed you get a gesture of goodwill but I suspect not.

@Ignition1 wish words and its defo where I think I find myself. The MK8 would be nice to own, new car, new tech and all that but I really don't think it warrants the huge overall price hike. Perhaps if the discounts become better, which I doubt or the value of the base model improves e.g. It includes more free options, then I may reconsider. Until that point, I'll stick with my 7.5 happy it has equity I cannot do anything with and hope that it stays there long enough for me to enjoy later 👍

Thanks for the VED information. Seems the MK8 is going to be in the higher bracket, which is crazy. I was only looking to change because of the value of the 7.5, I still love it so its no great shakes if I don't get into an 8. Don't seem in the long run to look as attractive once you add in deposits, higher tax and a rise in my monthlies. I'm gonna stay put for thr time being.

I think that is my biggest reservation, it is just a Golf and I don't mean that in a derogatory way but 50k is a lot for a mid level car (not in terms of performance but quality and prestige) As DJS2394 says its personal preference. Just feels that I could get into a used RS3 or M4 Comp for new Golf money. Interestingly, Drive the Deal just offered me a new MK8 with paint, performance pack, HUD and digital key with 6k discount!!! That puts it in the lower tax bracket but there is a 20 week wait in which time my 7.5 value may plummet. Monthlies are a bit too high. Think it's all to difficult and I'm going to stay with my 7.5, which is an awesome car. This thread might give others the help others if they were thinking about moving on..

As everyone knows the 7.5's prices are through the roof currently. So that got me thinking, could I get into a similar spec MK8 for the same monthlies (PCP, works for me. Not everyone's cup of tea) Anyway put the feelers out to my local dealer who offered me the following: £28750 PX on my 2019 Lapiz blue, Prets car. 😳 MK8 lapiz, estorils, camera, winter pack. Wanted DCC but this was a preordered car available in July. Anyway, I ended up saying no. The monthlies were £17 more, no problem but this low spec MK8 is still a 40k car; putting me in the 5 year higher tax bracket. I just walked away........ Was that a mistake 🤣🤣

I've fitted one of the to my MK7.5. I think it looks the nuts. Really easy to fit, just follow the instructions.

I find the VW sat nav dire. If can, use apple car play or android auto. Much better sat nav applications and no need to update 😉

Cheers all. I'll follow on Insta and look at the link.

Hi all I'm looking to buy a Maxton splitter and wondered if anyone can tell me if they have great discounts at specific points in the year e.g Black Friday, Easter etc. I've found a 10% discount and wonder if thats my lot. Any information appreciated. Thanks

No real reviews. I think it takes a special kind of detailer enthusiast to want to blow dry their car with a dog special. So admitting it for a review seems pretty rare 🤣

Glad we are in the same page @Booth11 I mean, if you would use one, it's gotta be fine, right 🤷
