SHOULD OF BOUGHT MY WHITE MK2 CUPRA ALLOYS MATTHEW
TUT TUT 
Went to get my service book stamped (dealer I got it from forgot) soon as I gave the lassie (she was bloody tidy, as were the other fillies I saw in the service department - Arnold Clark Vauxhall in Linwood) she says that she'd ordered a spare key for the car as they thought they'd lost one. It was already paid for so I got it for nowt! I got two keys with the car, so if anyone's looking it's available. Non flip spare key, uncoded, make an offer. (do these keys need coding? If so, how's it done?)
Thats what I was thinkng too, new disc time or just paint them with silver hammerite
Yup, it's common on a lot of new motors. Painted them on last two Leons, got to do this one too.
did the Passat recently (silver Hammerite) but managed to get it to bubble on way down from Sierra Nevada's
Yep, hearty scrub with a wire brush then wiped down before painting with Hammerite will sort them right out!

Still want yours just havnt got the free cash at the moment
Even if they don't pay out its not exactly expensive to get them refurbished. I paid £180 for 4 18" alloys to be powder coated gloss black

£180 for 4 wheels is good price. I'm thinking of getting my refurbished after winter for next summer.
I was pulled by VOSA a few years ago and they did an emissions check. They do it quite regularly round here. Puts me off a decat.
Why would anybody stop to let VOSA inspect their vehicle? They're not the police, you're not lawfully obliged to do so, would tell them to shove their mirror up their arse and look for money there as they wouldn't be getting any out of my pocket!
Police are usually with VOSA when these checks are carried out. Police do the stopping, VOSA do the checking.
Yeah that's how it works. They set up shop in a layby or carpark (B&Q seems to be a favourite) and the police pull people in for VOSA to check your car over. They do emissions checks too and check if diesel cars are being run on red.
VOSA do have the right to pull HGVs and buses/coaches with no police present. For those vehicles if you don't stop, it's failing to stop in the same way it would be with police.

I don't see what gives them the right to stop people at random, like bloody Nazi Germany, demanding your papers! If you've not broken the law there is no reason for you to be deterred from going about your own business. It's just a con to make more money out of you!
But that's what they're pulling for, isn't it? To check if you've broken the law or not.
The police have recently started pulling loads of HGVs on a stretch of the A19 near Portrack lane to check their loads etc.

Well based upon that logic everyone is guilty until proven innocent, so if you get accused of raping or murdering someone when you haven't, are you going to be happy sitting in prison until somebody tries to prove you innocent? No you're not, and the same logic applies here!
a traffic hitler told me they can't check modern diesels cos of a cover in the fuel pipe, their fuel checker thingamajig can't get past it......true or false???
