A big thanks to all who responded to my earlier post ref excessive wheel play problem on a golf MK 2, pointing out that tyres were the first place to look. Decided to think clever and change front to back one at a time, beginners luck, first change solved the problem entirely, with no loss of ride quality . Well done lads, and thanks.

Good to see that yet another problem has been solved by backroomers, but a bit unfair to give the 'thumbs down' to those who tried to help but may not have hit on the cure! I was not one of those but I think they made some perfectly sound suggestions.

Agree Dizzy - the VW "specialist's" one thing but anyone here who tried to help in good faith and with nothing to gain deserves a big thank you whether they were right or not.

Incorrect "heard-it-down-the-pub" advice is a common pitfall of online forums.....

I'm sure that's true David but I'd rather have the advice and be able to disregard some of it than not have it at all. I'd agree that blindly following advice is potentially dangerous and that sadly applies to a lot of stuff on the internet whose origins are unknown and validity unsubstantiated. In the time I've been here I haven't come across anyone complaining about bad advice that's been offered in the BR and long may it continue to be so.

Yeah, totally agree with you there Volvoman, I've bene here on and off for 2 years or so now.
A great resource :-) and great people!
