NZL world champions!!!!

Congratulations NZL, not a classic RWC final however it was epic! Anyone who thought France were just there to make up the numbers will need their head examining. Chuffed to pieces NZL kept their composure and ended 24 years of hurt to win the RWC final!!!!!!! ^:)^

Re: Passat handbrake

Sounds quite possibly like you rear brakes are binding on from what you have said. i.e you pads are not fully releasing/ coming away from the disk. Get it looked at asap. If it is this it could be a case of a mechanic or a mechanically minded friend removing brake parts/ cleaning/ greasing various a...

Re: buying my first Passat high mileage.. need help

I have a 1999 Passat turbo sport with 140k on it and gave £800 with a full service history to prove it has had no expense spared. IMO and my experience with Vee dubs you look after them they look after you. Good luck if you choose to buy her or not.
