Finally. Picked up our V5 Sport today *:) :)

It's an ex-VW demo car, so it's got all the goodies.

100 mile trip home was fun.

Parcel shelf is rattling. Anyone else had the same problem and fixed it without making it look a mess?

Probably only an exhaust and a bra. Claire's happy with the wheels at the mo, but I guarantee that won't last. ;)

Sorry to dissapoint that isn't a V5 sport, its a standard V5, the sport has 2 tone leather, sports seats and a bodykit on (see my siggy pic). *Still very very nice tho! *:D

Damn. You're right. It was advertised as a sport. I've just insured it as a sport as well >:( Never mind. Still chuffed with it.

Does the V5 have a toothed cambelt or chain?

Stick a set of Sport bumpers on it and it'll look like a sport - but in grey 8-)

Very nice Bug :)


I think all Bugs are toothed.

Ah cool - does that mean they don't need changing then? Steve's last Disco was chain driven and they didn't need to be.

Nope doesn't need changing, which I was very glad to hear from VW!!! Especially as an interim service on te V5 is £190 from VW :o
