dog
After selling my lovely 75 v6 I needed a diesel because of travelling from

The gear knob on my new (but used) 156 is in a bit of a mess - worn a
numbers coming off. Does anyone have any experience of removing these
and replacing with another ? Is it easy ? I have tried to (very)gently

or is there a...

GTI is a good fit. Can anyone verify...

(except for "decidely sporty use" - in which case use the WR 5W40).
