interesting, VW TPS don't deal with Classicparts afaik, so is your local dealer doing it on their own initiative or have VW in the UK finally taken up my suggestion of 2 years ago ? I even got my branch manager to suggest it at regional management meeting and was told it was a no no

I have discussed classic with my local dealer (he asked me about "some german website").

But as yet no offer to use them or even check with them when something is obsolete

The only stuff they get from germany is backorder stuff when there is no current UK stock
