What will work?
They've got an AWFUL reputation for reliability out here... and for very expensive repairs, but that's because we only get DSG ones and insist on using them in crawling city traffic.I just got some picks of my new (to me) car, what do you think? Think this will do it? or anyone used better??

That one being a manual, I dunno. What model is it anyways?
Jeeeez I dream of 20mpg , and mine is a diesel. She gets around 27 - 30mpg on 'normal roads', but home is constant up and down, twisty, bendy, blind bend, hills and dips. Which in a manual would be up and down from 1st to 3rd gear, rarely seeing 4th. So the drop is understandable.That may be true, but whatever expense it is.... it will STILL be 5 times cheaper than a RR Its a MK5 Golf 1.6 46mpg....... (yea you dream of getting 30 dont you? lol)

I hope its not cr*p... I think it needs more than a clean dont you think?If you need some leather cleaner stuff i have some you can have back
Ah ok... we only got Golf Mk6 onwards here so you may be in the clear.That may be true, but whatever expense it is.... it will STILL be 5 times cheaper than a RR Its a MK5 Golf 1.6 46mpg....... (yea you dream of getting 30 dont you? lol)
I got some of this, nice and cheap see how it goes, if I screw it up I can get a sew on leather steering wheel coverAh ok... we only got Golf Mk6 onwards here so you may be in the clear.
My take on your steering wheel remains the same though...... a darned good cleanup, shoe black and then leather care balm. It doesn't look as if its begun to develop pits in it so I don't think you need to go any further than that.... which I'm not sure will help with a steering wheel, as I said earlier.
Good luck man... post pics once you're done!
Actually I can get low to mid 30s on my DSE if I stuck to the speed limit, on the highways, in cruise control. Heh. Offroad, not nearly as much!
46? Sure, that's possible.... downhill, in a hurricane.
Oh yeah... that'll do it. I think you'll still need to give the wheel a darned good cleanup first though. Especially since it's black.I got some of this, nice and cheap see how it goes, if I screw it up I can get a sew on leather steering wheel cover

I have a leather cleaner, and then put some ipa on it, might put some 2500 grit on it to key is as well, It belonged to my niece from new, so its not too back its quite clean insideOh yeah... that'll do it.

Easy to look after, sure...... but you don't know just how much muck is on there, especially if the car has been "pre loved".
Actually I'll shut up now. It just doesn't bear thinking about.
