    Re the mystery of the damage to the inside of the wheels. I once misjudged a corner on a country road in my gti and the car dropped down off the side of the road on an approximate 30 cm drop for a few seconds and I bumped it back up while the car was still doing 60mph and the inside of both nearside wheels ended up like this one. The wheels banged off rocks and the side of the road when being steered back up onto the road from the drop.

      @ dealers run diagnostics on the dsg gear box to see if the seller has ran the clocks back. They also do it in ecu to see if it’s been flashed & had a map/tune. They run through all the software to make sure it’s up to standards or if the warranty isn’t void. That’s why flagship dealers is more safer to buy from. I know someone right now that’s sold a golf gtd with 65k miles on…he had miles blocked out. But if he hadn’t of sold it privately or the new buyer takes it to VW he will find his cars done an extra 20k miles on it. I’ll never EVER buy private I know the car industry too well.

These lads were sound and they know they’re not perfect but they’re trying their best and I think considering their ages they’re doing a great job.

    With the car pulling to one side, I wouldn’t say it’s tracking.
    I think something is misaligned, whether it’s suspension, or chassis/subframe. Something seems amiss.
    With the inside of the alloys looking like that, it’s definitely been “driven”.
    Worth a punt I guess. Be interesting to see an update video on the issues.

    Good luck to them seem like they’re doing it right. They’re addressing Birminghams reputation and people won’t give them a chance. Golf R mk8 have oversize sub frame bushes Calv so tracking needs to be done each time you do anything on them suspension related. There’s a kit you can buy to solve that issue. Someone else made a good point, was it the car steering itself? Most likely hit a kirb and either subframe is twisted or track rod ends etc etc easily sorted out by will at VRS.
