Hi
My name is Claire and I live in Bromsgrove in the Midlands. I have just bought an 07/07 Golf GT TDi 170PS 5 door in Diamond Blackand it is called scrabble because the letters in the reg plate represent the highest scoring ones in a Scrabble game AND because all of that torque does tax the traction control! I don't think of myself as a VW fan but have owned
1985 Passat 1.8
1987 Scirocco GTXi
1990 Scirocco GT2
1995 Golf Mk3 1.6
1996 Golf 1.9 TD CL
2002 Polo 1.9 TDi Sport
Only done 300 miles in it so far and it does seem a scream. It is standard apart from a central armrest and cruise control. How do I tell if it has xenons? I have heard about a high level computer - mine shows mpg etc on the instrument binnacle - is that it?!

The car was bought for practical reasons - my commute to work is 150 miles a day and so far so good fuel wise. Only thing I am having trouble adjusting to is to not stall it trickling away from roundabouts!
