Yeh was great fun. Car went great. My traction control stopped working on the way there though (not like I needed it)
I've scanned the car and its come up with Steering Angle Sensor error. Should be pretty easy to fix. Will either just have to reset the steering wheel basic setting or replace the sensor, located just behind the steering wheel.

Lets not mention fuel economy! 😂

Yes, it sill looks new, just a bit small for the 5 of us to squeeze in.

Doubt I'll have time to chuck it on this weekend. Have to take the engine out of the Beetle.
