Hi all long time since i have been on the forum ! finaly got a MK5 golf gti 2007, still miss my R32 mk4 ! but I think the mk5 is great, is there anything thing i should be aware of? well glad to be back! Muskie

hi i have a Jap import golf 4 with sat nav system installed which is no use, as it can't be upgraded for New Zealand, so i need to take it out of the dash. my question is how do i remove the head unit with the screen in. it is almost identical to the pics in posts above. i want to replace this with a single disc player and the standard pocket. any ideas!

Hi all can any one help I have just bought a Jap import 1.8T(I live in New Zealand now) It has a factory fitted Sat nav in in but it is all in japanese, any ideas where i can get the codes/disc etc to convert into english. also what do all the buttons mean on the consol.Any ideas how to get the TV working on it as well any help appreciated.

I had it done about 5 years ago at optimax. it was the best thing i have ever done. they were able to correct my short sighteness and asigmtism. the proceedure wasn't very nice but it was well worth it.

if you want an easy sight seeing trip try the overlander train it goes from wellington to Auckland and vis versa . i havn't tried it yet it is on my list to do, but people here tell me it is well worth it.

Hi Floyd, NZ does have its problems but they are no worse than in the UK you can be a rural as you like here or live in the city, although Auckland is the exception it is very busy, and the road etticutt is like Paris maybe worse! the rest of NZ is not that busy. We went to Wellington the other day and that is the Capital it was as busy as Nottingham in comparison. I live in a little town near Hamilton North Island 3 hours away from Auckland and it is so relaxed. Like anywhere you have to choose carefully where you live. any questions PM me and i will try to help.

hi there, how was NZ hope you liked it. i moved over here in Dec 2005 and havent looked back, it is a fantastic place as you should have seen. sorry i didnt see this post earlier i could have given you more info.

Hi all, just to let you know i have arrived in New Zealand. I miss my R like crazy! the roads are perfect to drive in the R. oh well will just have to drive the toyota altezza RS instead. hope you all had a good xmas and new year Angel

hi all just to let you know i have sold my R. and miss it like mad. now driving a lovely MK5 escort which cost me £35. New Zealand better be worth it.
