There appears to have been a problem in the past with the "Keep me informed" functionality above. This has now been fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi Stuart! Thought i'd say hi - I picked up my new (second-hand, but new to me) Golf GTTDI on Friday and wanted to say thanks for your tips and tricks page. My car didn't come with the instruction manual (the dealership is sending me one in the post) and so some of the tricks in there have satisfied my curiosity for the time being! Keep up the good work on the site!
