My faithful old Golf is back from the garage with a fairly clean bill of health. Fortunately, there was no major damage caused by it’s bout with the biggest pothole in the world, so there’s just the cooling fans still to fix. The VW specialist quoted me a very tasty £200 compared to the £420 quote I got from the fat cat VW dealer. It seems there are still deals to be had in ROB, providing you shop around.
