Re: Fifth gear or no fifth gear (now daft mechs)

LOL

I have one Scirocco Mk11 with floorplan damage - Lucklily not too bad as I 
caught the Monkey jacking it on the box section as opposed to the sills and 
pointed out the error of his ways not before he had given it a little bend.

I made the buggers replace the underseal around this point much to their 
disgust.

Won't be going there again
