The good news is that the turbo absolutely hammered the golf however the associated bad news is that my heater matrix pipe exploded in the process

Having parked up and let it cool, I very gingerly drive the last little bit of the way home. (Bear in mind this is about 9:00pm and all I want to do is put my feet up, have a beer and go to bed! Luckily enough I had a spare piece of pipe that fits like a charm and hopefully the head gasket has survived

The following morning I wake up to a penalty notice for driving in a bus lane! Can you believe it, it was one of those where the bus lane becomes the lane for left turns and I had changed lane a bit too soon and now I have to pay £60 for the privilege! Bloody city council enforcement cameras.
So yes, all in all not the greatest 24hrs. The cars fixed but the hole in my wallet remains! At least the car didn't cost anything as I already had an ideal piece of pipe and some coolant from the last time I changed it. It was due a change of coolant again so maybe this was the cars way of 'gently persuading' me to do it!
