Dont know if I have the time to go to the UK is all.
Im told if I intend to, best bet is to go direct to a major dealer there.

Theres also some pit falls I hear even with that.

Timing Belt. I know she has only 23k miles on her, but it's likely that that's the original belt and if it is, then it's nearly 5 years old. VW recommend the belt be changed every 60k miles or every 5 years, whichever is the sooner.

Maybe I'm being too cautious though.
