Right. Got myself a new thermostat from Jorily, waiting to be fitted when I'm next off work.

Going to do an oil and filter change, and then flush and replace the coolant. TPS the best place to go for these?

Then it's time for the brakes - looking at these http://www.jorily.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=131_5_38&products_id=1026 from Jorily, look to be made by Febi-Bilstein, which should mean they're decent - unless there's a recommendation elsewhere for better/ cheaper/ both?

It's a 51 plate 1.8T vRS, for reference.

Those brakes seem a good price, about the same as Mintex box sets off ebay. I'd give them a go myself, I think I will be later this year.

you cant get non gen filters for the price tps do them for so go for it!

We sell all the serivce parts including filters both Genuine and non-genuine(but O,E quality)
