We went last night to pick up our new Passat from Richard Patterson Motors, just outside Kilrea. Just MOT'd and just valeted, it looks like a new car, and it drives well too.
One problem though - about half way home, I decided I was getting too warm, and turned down the heat, and .... nothing!
The hot / cold control didn't seem to be working, so out came the tools, but found I didn't need tools as the problem was with the lever which operates the flap, the lever had come out. So I got it pushed back in, and now its all working. I enjoyed the drive to work today for the first time in 6 weeks.
Its definitely not as fast as the Rover, but it still goes nicely.

Another new car!!!
After almost a month of torturous driving in an aweful Rover 45 I have to change.
Its a bit daft changing so soon, but I really can't stand driving that car. It is as if whoever designed it has never driven a car. Even the electric window switches are placed in an unintuitive position.
But its more than that. Heavy steering, pedals that all have different travel length, and aren't in a row, funny wiper controls.... I could go on...
So, after the success of Susan's Passat, we're going for another, a 1998 TDi 110 SE
Pick it up today, so we'll see how that goes ;)
