Re: RIP Dennis Waterman
I randomly saw him walking along the street in London about 10yrs ago near a theatre, so I walked up next to him, asked to confirm his name, and then told him I really enjoyed him in the Sweeney, he smiled and nodded, said "ah yes, thanks", and then he went into the theatre

1.6TDi B8 Estate '64 Plate, CD Player
When I test drove my B8 Passat Estate, I didn't pay too much attention to the center display & Radio/CD other than that it was there and sounded alright, rather focusing on assessing the drive & comfort of the car. All good & bought it. A few weeks in, having only listened to the Radio, ...

Re: PASSAT MK8 SALOON 2.0 TDI GT SCR ECONOMY
It was on the Dashboard readout, but I cross checked with a brim to brim just to make sure the readout was correct, and it was. I actually got a 71.9mpg reading on a 460 mile M5/M6/M74/M8 journey just last weekend at a steady 65mph. Only witness was the Wife and little puppy.

Re: PASSAT MK8 SALOON 2.0 TDI GT SCR ECONOMY
1.6TDi estate B8, '64 plate. I regularly get 65-70mpg at 65-70mph on the long Argyll to Devon M74/M6/M5 motorway run. On a recent Exeter to Gloucester M5 run, where the traffic was busy but moving, so doing about 55mph, I got an amazing 77.6mpg. If I'd had a mobile phone I'd have taken a photo and p...

Re: Start/stop
I always deactivate it upon initial start-up while the engine is cool, once warmed up I tend to take a judgement call (say at the traffic lights) as to how long I expect to be stationary (has the 'red' sequence just started?) and then activate it as I draw up to the lights. I don't activate it at ro...
