New toy needed a cam belt changed and as I was not 100% sure of it's service heritage I decided to get it done by CityGate Watford. I knew I recognised the chap at the service desk but only when he acknowledge he remembered me from ClubGTI that I realised I was talking to Fitzy.
Now I know that he understands my requirements I am happy to have them work on it but I think he had the last laugh when he pointed out my loan car was a Fox. I did not know if I was meant to wind it up before I got in but when it does start moving it is quite fun. Wink

He has just rang to say I apparently need to replace all my front bushes with polybushes and slam it... I might have misheard him a bit. Rolling Eyes

Once I knew my car was in the hands of people who don't just push them but are part of the scene I was more than happy. I knew it wouldn't be cheap but am reassured that it is heading in the right direction. I was also very happy with the discounts, I really appreciated it and so did my wallet. Smile
The fox was fun but kind of at the other end of braking and accelerating from the Golf. Once you got the revs up though it was quite nippy and cornered really well. I will take you up on the Jetta next time though, I love a bit of old school.
Coming out to find my car had been cleaned was a nice end to the experience, all round it was an excellent experience.
Jay, you could buy a whole built up engine for the price of the cam belt change but with 20V and difficult access, I was not going to risk do it myself. Waterpump was done at the same time as it can go and take out the cam belt.

I will sort of the polybush kit and be back to have that all fitted. Then we lower it....
