Always nice to have a nice steering wheel and gearknob 👍 i always used to upgrade mine back in the day. I bought a lovely Series 2 RS Turbo off my friend, G397VMP, and he had upgraded it to a 3 or 4 spoke RS steering wheel, it was too thick, gave me pains in my hand, swapped it back to original. 👍

@@YTDTETV good to see you enjoying your van too. I’m torn with my vehicles, for years I’ve had Nissan Terrano’s and loved them. I had a skirmish with the big c so we bought a T6 that I’ve converted myself. Still got a Maverick that’s nearly 30 years old and love it but it’s excessive really as it’s hardly a classic car but it’s a survivor and a bit of a sentimental story to it as well. These vehicles get under our skin buddy.

@@YTDTETV It’s remapped around 200 bhp quick in a straight line but I had more control in my manual one in bad weather and across country roads. My honest opinion is stay with the manual but very hard to find one over here that clean and not hard a hard life. I dove up and down the country for months looking for one and the DSG was the best one I came across. Have you done a video of the registration led bulbs ??
