Easily sorter my guy - very popular upgrade is the LED bulbs, they keep the same beam pattern more or less with the way they’re housed.
Had i realised how much money i’d made from selling my house i’d have f**king kept mine now. :(

If memory serves my mate turned it off with carista? I always forgot to turn it off, drove me mental!
Weirdly its not anywhere near as intrusive in the S1 however that’ll be getting turned off when i get a chance to have it plugged in!
The start/stop feature allegedly eats the batteries, bloody dear as well. For anyone going for a Golf R/Cupra/S3 i’d have the start stop coded out, the AGM battery replacement is expensive and can’t imagine the start stop is actually doing any good to the rest of the running gear.
Used to hate...
Always had a soft spot for the Astra GSi - i’ve seen this one before and it appears to be absolutely immaculate.
Also clocked a 550 Maranello, apologies for the poor picture, i believe these have shot up in value recently, never seen a black one before, absolutely stunning cars.
Also, the haldex pump on the back axle needs properly serviced, Audi/Volkswagen only change the oil, it needs the gauze filter taken out and properly cleaned, DSG oil intervals are 40k also, these are not massively expensive jobs to have done.
The Golf R boot is massive, they go really well as standard and actually return decent fuel economy - the only thing that seems to haunt them is a failed thermostat housing iirc. Although not a show stopper - worth checking its been done or negotiate it.
IMO the Leon Cupra estate is far better...
Yes mate its over in Ireland now.
Yeah mate, sold it for £300 more than i bought it for, but i was into it for about £500 though with the work i done so meh😑
