Picked up a hire car this afternoon. Issued with a 15 plate Golf.
Realising it was a base model by the wheel trims I wasn't overly surprised to see it only had a 5 speed box. Left work, and made my way out to the M5, and as I came along the slip road I noticed one of those gear shift indicators telling me to change up.....into 6th
Dipped the clutch, and sure enough there was a sixth gear, but only 5 shown on the knob! Can only assume the wrong one was screwed on in the factory as its only been registered 10 days and has about 900 miles on it. Tonight may have been the first time 6th has been used
