So I take it you’re happy with Budget Direct? They’re THE standout right now for me.
Thanks @DV52 & @The_Hawk.
I’ll be cutting the tentacles & ‘unsticking’ from RACV for both Car/Home & Contents. Saving $850 odd for the year.
& I’ll be shopping around every year to hopefully...
& what did you pay last year?
No one under 40 can drive the car.
Don’t like giving location details out on public forums, & I wasn’t going to ask others to do so. But the question was to...
Thanks. That’s surprising, considering RACV is an affiliate of RAA. I wonder if I called RAA direct, would they quote me or direct me to RACV….won’t hurt to try!
Yeah I’m sticking with manual for...
This is pretty ridiculous now…
RACV were leading the way years ago, but they’ve just increased my insurance for a MY16 GTI MK7…

Had the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 for a couple of weeks now. I like em! As advertised, they’re a very comfortable ride (noticed riding over speed humps were like putting the car in ‘Comfort’ driving...
Not sure if this has to do with programming or if it’s just the controller used (iirc, the controller was 3rd party, but rear tail lights are genuine).
Has anyone heard of rear tail LED dynamic...
I'm not at my vehicle now, but I recall lighting settings that may be related - look under 'ambient lighting' or something similar. There's Footwell & Door settings that I recall, but aren't sure if...
Just noticed they’re down to $249 now on Tyroola!
Edit…
Found them for $245 including fitting & balancing at Tempetyres, so got my local Bob Jane to match that & the $70 Alignment, so $1050 all...
Wow, why did @Lucas_R edit appear in my post instead of his???
“So the Potenza S001 has recently been replaced by the Potenza Sport. Nothing wrong with the S001 but they are just an older tyre now...
Just checked….they’re the Potenza “S001”. How do they stack up against the competition? They’re the only ones I’ve used, so I can’t compare.
So the Potenza S001 has recently been replaced by the...
Hmm I wonder if these are the ones currently on my MK7?? I remember seeing Potenza on them, but I could be confusing them for another Golf.. need to check when I get home.

Hey there. Just starting to look for new tyres for my 2016 GTI.
Currently have the stock Bridgestones (can’t remember the model) in 225/40/R18.
I’ve been recommended these thus far…...
That’s pathetic. Sorry you had to deal with that mess after spending big money. Hope you find a much better replacement.
I’m holding my MK7 tight & hoping it lasts for a while yet.
Fantastic. Common sense prevails.
Sorry for not being related to MK8, but i've just enquired about some authentic MK7 rear tail LED lights I had installed in the past, where the scrolling indicators have never reliably worked - they...
Good. Send them a message that it was a HUGE mistake (RE: ergonomically & safety) to go in that direction.
The same fog lights as the GTI? Well that just took the shine/exclusivity of them away, & I didn’t really like them to begin with...
Long wait, but impressions on the design are great. Love those wheels too.
Decent review...Mirrors many out there - great drive, poor internal controls.

Exactly mate. VW have taken a massive step backwards here. Interaction with your car is a big deal & it needs to be as safe/seamless/tactile as possible. Your eyes need to be on the road, not on your...
Not bad. Looks good on the White.
Those fog lights though. I know they’re meant to resemble a cross/X but all I see is a die that’s just rolled a Five.
I think I prefer the MK7 foggies.
Thanks for that. Everything seems very refined again. I bet it’ll drive nicely.
But those touch screens are what other manufacturers apparently tried & reneged on in their next model, due to lack...
Thanks for that.
The negatives are outweighing the positives at this stage.
That software decision blunder is a safety hazard...very big let down.
