Brill that thanks mate 👍🏼

The rear LED lights on my tailgate have stopped working on the driver side. How in the world do you change them? Sat here scratching my head!! Should be simple no??

Glad to know mine isn't broke, but it does bug me. I wonder why it wasn't OEM fit. Maybe it is seen as being too intrusive and attention averting when driving?

Sorry guys I mean above the glove box... Not on the HUD / clocks. So there isn't supposed to be a blue strip of light above across where the passenger looks at on the dash? Im pretty sure there is... Theres a strip, but its not lit up on my car... And its a 7R not a 7.5.

Am I just being stupid or is my ambient lighting on my dash broken? It wont come on, every other (ambient) light in the car is on but the blue ambient strip on the dash isn't. Is there a setting to switch this off, or has it actually gone on me? Any ideas as to what to do to fix it if so?

Just bought it as it is, well I say as it is, bar the chassis and the engine I have pretty much rebuilt the rest of it!!

Also interested

Had mine mapped at Unicorn to 370/370 and its massively quick. Come from an E46 M3 and an RS4 avant and it would show the pair of them a clean pair of heels from a standing start. Its a bit silly speed really for a golf, but once I found out about those kinds of power hikes from a £500 map i was sold and im not dissapointed. Its pretty sedate but thats VW for you. Does everything very very well but with little to no drama.

Just get one of these and a house alarm

ABS Avocet locks CCTV Floodlights House alarm and a post You will be seen to be too difficult to steal from after that lot....

I think i have commented on your other thread but just make it really hard for people mate and hopefully they will go and find something else to steal It doesnt solve the overall problem but these oxygen thieves are going to steal something just make sure its not your car... I had my RS4 nicked and now my house is like fort knox. Including this; You arent getting it without a crane next time. Quite like putting it up, its going to be virtually impossible to steal next time. And thats just the security you can see....!

Brill mate yeah, just hope i never drive into it!!!

So sorry to hear this OP. Awful isnt it, the only reason I have an R is the fact my RS4 got stolen in March. Same way as you, euro cylinders snapped and walked in. I now have a house alarm, deadlocks on doors, CCTV, ABS Avocet barrels in all doors, a 2 foot retractable post on the end of my drive and floodlights. Unfortunate that this has all been a kneejerk reaction but Ill only get burgled once.

Yeah shes a cracker mate.

Had this about a year or so now. Its brilliant fun, im not loyal to any particular badge as I notice a lot of you lads own other VW's - I just like good cars it doesnt matter what badge is on the front to be honest, and after my tweaks to this one (which pretty much involves swapping everything bar the engine and chassis!) Its been doing a few trackdays and local autosolos this year. Anyone who is wondering if they should get one then yes is the answer, they dont dissapoint. They dont tend to take prisoners though! And this is only 150bhp but driven properly she flys. Its a 1997 Westfield SE (Narrowbody) Vulcan engineering Pinto bored out to 2.1 and blueprinted Twin Dellorto 40's Kent FR32 fast road cam 55mm alloy Race Radiator 4-1 Ashley Exhaust with longlife stainless silencer English live rear axle with Quaife LSD Protech coilovers 300lbs front springs 1.9x7" 12.5" shock 175lbs rear springs 1.9x9" 14" shock Set up and corner weighted Pretty basic but its all you need in one of these.
