    Thanks for the replies everyone. Might see if I can find the fuse for the DRLs and pull it out. I drive with the lights on all the time so don't really need/want the DRLs turning on as well. I know they give the R a unique point of difference against all other Golfs but DRLs are popping up on everyhting now - the current Merc C Class and even the Kia Optima have DRLs in a similar position to the R.

    Thanks mate It was a dealer car that they ordered for their own stock. Tried to get a factory order but was told it couldn't be done. I put down the deposit in August, the car was built in early September, and it arrived in Oz late October.

    A couple of observations:

    - If you turn the headlight switch to '"parkers" position and get out of the car and lock with the key fob, the inside section of the LED tail lights turn off. If you unlock the car the inside section turns on again. I also read on here somewhere that the same thing happens when you open and close the driver's door, but I can't get that to work on my car.

    - The sound of the air being pumped through the cooling/heating dash vents is very noticeable and 'whooshy' even at the lowest fan speed, much more so than previous cars I've owned. It gets even louder with the AC on. Anyone else notice this?

    - When I slowly push the clutch in slightly (a few centimetres) and hold it there is a small pulsating feeling coming through the clutch pedal. It is more noticable with the AC on. When I push the clutch pedal further in the shudder goes away. Any ideas? Problem or normal?
