You use Bing?? :P

You underestimate the Perth overpaid miners tax. It's more like 50%.

Throughout winter, my GTI has been a little more hesitant to turn over - it still only takes one crank of the starter motor to go, but sounds lethargic. Coming into warmer weather I reckon I'll get...

Has anybody got the genuine rubber boot mat? We specified "rubber boot mat" in our contract for a 90tsi wagon, and it looks like we've been given a cheap looking/feeling plastic thing. Even though...

Thanks for posting this, Bel. Apparently I was a couple of weeks too late as Allianz have increased their prices significantly (this was stated without prompting by 3 different sources, unless they...

No resolution yet - I haven't had the time to get the car booked in. Plus I've noticed that it's nowhere near as bad when it's under 33ish degrees ambient. With Perth's stinking hot summer the rattle...

Just thought I'd chime in a let everyone know that my "resolved" rattle is now back with a vengeance. Initially I wasn't sure whether I was becoming more sensitive to the rattle or specifically...

It's a good point to make about the 118 - which is what I asked the dealer to see. But he was useless and didn't have any 118's in stock for a test drive. The Scout is a bit drippy off the line for...

I didn't compare the doors to the Golf - I compared them to the Mazda. Because I didn't drive either car, I didn't get a chance to heft the doors around outside of the car park, but the Mazda's felt...

I definitely haven't made up my mind - especially without driving either car. I'm just relaying my first impressions as a current Golf owner. I really really want to like the Skoda and I've been...

I'm doing up a comparison spreadsheet containing the Mazda 6, Passat and Skoda models. I was initially looking at used cars, but there isn't actually that much available - and even then the prices...

I'm judging the cars purely on vehicle configuration and performance. Turbo diesel with identical straight line performance and economy figures, wagon, manual, similar peripheral features. Handling...

I understand the difference between tactile quality as opposed to build quality. You can certainly have one without the other. One of the reasons I splurged and bought the GTI was the brilliant...

Polarising point about to be made.... Has anybody thought about fitting the Detroits from the GTI onto an Occy? I'm possibly maybe about to buy an Occy, and I'm about ready for a change of rims on...

I'm currently in the market for a wagon to supplement the GTI. We have a baby on the way and a large dog we'd like to ferry around at the same time. The pricing of the Mazda 6 diesel wagon currently...

FYI, my JH service rep contacted me to say he'd ordered the clip for my car and would let me know when it arrives so it can be fitted - under warranty. Almost 2 years later, and I finally get some...

They simply didn't tighten up a hose clip properly. They took a new one off a brand new GTI and put it on mine. Along with a $50 fuel card for my trouble. They also paid for the taxi to get back to...

So my GTI's water pump ended up being replaced - but with which version I don't know. I drove the car 5 minutes down the road before the all the coolant exploded out the bottom of the car. Such...

I had a similar experience earlier in the week.

Within a few minutes of driving the car, the MFI chimed and warned "check coolant level", despite the engine and water temperature being normal. I...

I was initially with Allianz (VW Insurance) and was able to negotiate cover for my girlfriend, despite her being under 30. Nobody else under 30 was allowed to drive the car. It seems they have very...

I'm guessing an R32.....

I can't think of a convertible I like that is derived from a donor car. They just look like the original car with the roof hacked off. This cabrio actually looks OK with the canopy up. Down, it looks...

If you don't hear it now and you're enjoying the car, then don't try. I've had it from day 1 and I hear it every damn day.

I think it's pretty clear they are fobbing you off. Wax would indeed harden once it cooled, and the volume of liquid you are seeing can't be explained away by a wax coating. Your best course of...

Boys, don't forget to bring the rulers out while you're at it on Wednesday night. They can be inaccurate by a couple millimetres so you'll all have to use the same one.

But please, no photos.

On my car, the trial tune simply changed the rev range in which the rattle was noticeable. I considered it slightly more annoying so I didn't go ahead with the purchase.
