2013 Polo GTI, only car I have bought from new. Constant DSG Issues (mechatronic failure, premature clutch wear) and the 1.4 twincharged engine drank 1L of oil per 1000kms. Sold it after 9 months right before diesel gate and VW values tanked.

Had the Clio for 10 years, everything else has only hung around 2-3 years at the most.

I have a feeling this song is going to feature heavily in the graduation videos this year…

Bought a translated owners manual for the Majesta, and it is full of gems like these. Still incredibly handy to have for figuring out all the little qUirKS anD fEAtuRes.

Wheels cleaned up much better than the carpets! Not sure how long the Chinese compliance tyres are going to stay on there though, they are rubbish to drive on. I reckon first hint of rain next year and they’ll be getting swapped for Michelin Primacy or similar.

Haha yep. To be fair the rest of the car is immaculate so I can’t really complain.

Thanks gentlemen. I’m going a third time with a higher concentrate and it’s slowly improving things, will be a few days til I can try the pressure washer out.

Do any detailing gurus have tips on cleaning what I’m guessing is old oil stains out of thick carpet mats? The bissell has made a difference but they still look a bit grot after two passes with the stain remover / agitator brush.

Also the best thing I have discovered so far is that the audio system has a hdd, which the previous owner loaded up with many many albums of Japanese love ballads.

Got the new car home just in time to do the school run. Pleased to see it fits in the carport nicely!
First job tomorrow is to hit them with the wet dry vac and see how they come up.

Inspired by a post from @norwichgiant.bsky.social and his lovely 306, here’s some pics of my phase 1 S16 that I owned 12-13 years ago. This car taught me a lot about working on cars, more than I wanted to know if I’m honest 😬.

Test drove a Crown today - such a beautiful, well made car. Quiet when wafting with a nice snarl from the V8 when you’re up it for the rent. Asked for a discount on what was already a decent price, got it then signed on the dotted line. Should be picking it up next week once complied and registered.

Ok it’s time to start looking for a new (old) car. Got a test drive lined up tomorrow, so here’s a hint. Let’s see if anyone can guess what it is!

Also bonus pic of that time my wife failed to notice the workers digging new water lines for the street and tried to jump the ditch…
