I take back any bad karma towards the chap doing my work, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I couldn't collect the car because I was working so my dad did..my dad is used to brand new immediately immaculately running machines.
I have started it on the drive before and it seems to be fine then just dies when its cold, never worried me I've experienced that before when the timing has been off, old belts etc! But id start it up again leave it warm THEN I take it for Africa .
My dad didn't do this!
My extremely helpful VW specialist took it for a good run at a generous speed and hit no issues and then called me a bit puzzled!
Went to collect it tonight and besides a split flange in the carb and a lil coolant leak WE ARE FINE!!! (Sorting both this week)
Drove it home, testing it's boundaries a little, finally having some fun in it!
Tomorrow I'll start it from complete cold and see how we go.
So far so good

I have never been so effing frustrated in my life.
When i have a bad day a good drive takes away that stress, without a vdub i am a bloody nervous wreck!!!!
