You don't need a Kleinmetall dog-guard for that B5 do you? Trying to give one away to save it from landfill, but no takers...
FREE - High quality Kleinmetall dog-guard for a B5 VW Passat Estate
Collection from HX6. Whilst specifically shaped for the B5 VW Passat Estate, this dog-guard may well fit other models and marques, so anyone local/passing is welcome to try it in their vehicle. It's a sturdy bit of kit and would be a shame to wang it into landfill.

Stick 1 of these on & come back camping to Sibbertoft with the Forum folk as an ex T6 owner?
TentBox Classic 2.0 Roof Tent
The Classic 2.0 is more like a bedroom than a tent, due to its boxy shape. The gas struts mean opening and closing takes just 60-seconds and there is loads of internal space to carry gear, bedding and pillows when closed. It features an integrated LED light and a new matte black shell, with an...

Well, that didn't last long, traded it in today and put down a deposit on this.
Loving how it looks so the only plans are a RacingLine air intake and probably a Revo stage one engine and gearbox map.

Man after my own heart! Had the mk7 R in manual regret selling it and wanted another convinced I was getting the mk7.5 but went to heritage and drove a new mk8 wow!
Wasn’t to sure on the styling to begin with but has grown on me now!
I like the look of the mk8 but it's the dash that I think I might struggle with, although from some of the reviews I've seen, you do get used to it.
I was watching a review of the new Tiguan on YouTube last night and VW seemed have back tracked slightly and ditched the haptic buttons on the new model.
Yes this was another reason I was adamant I was getting the 7.5 because I also read reviews on the haptic buttons but was told it was on the earlier models but they’ve now resolved and to be fair I’ve had it 3 months now and no problems what so ever once you get your head around it!
All change again for me. Bought a 986 boxster as to compliment the Scirocco with idea to sell the Passat but I didn't take to it so decided to sell the Boxster and trade the Scirocco in for a fast daily that kids and dogs can fit in. Must admit I'm super impressed with it for an all rounder and fun car as well.
I love a B5.5. I had a V6TDI waggon for about 8 years. I'd have a PD130 Sport 4Mo as a daily smoker if I could find one that hasn't been to the moon and back and got rusty wings.
I fitted W8 bi-xenons to mine. It was a simple straight swap. The plugs were even the same. Cars were so much simpler not all that long ago.
What front splitter does yours have?

Current set up. Still in 2 minds on the Passat as don't need it so thinking something older/fun like maybe another Corrado in its place but I can't quite get over the price of the older cars. Early 2000's still seem to be the bargains. Maybe a Mk1 V6 TT.
The only VW I have owned other than my camper waw a brand new Gold MKV GTi, one or the very first in the UK.
A few months into ownership it caught fire while I was driving it. It went up suddenly and within seconds was a serious mess. It didn't even give me time to pull over so had to bail in lane 3 of the M20. I was popular that day!

Better unpopular than burnt to a crisp.
TMI mate.My Y fronts were pretty crispy after that...after they'd dried out!
Did have a mk2...
Which made way for a Clio 172. I then sold the Clio for something more VW and bought a Corrado with a 20V conversion
It's a dog and is currently having the running gear re-shelled into another, better Corrado. However the job was taken on by somebody who shouldn't be allowed to do anything that involves planning or timescales, and we are now into the seventh month of what should be a straightforward job.
I also have a C7.5 A6 Avant that I daily (as well as another Clio 172) and would like to replace the A6 with a Golf GTI 7.5 PP
