  1. White Octavia mk3 VRS diesel estate, just had cruise control fitted.
  2. What's the reliability of the DSG boxes and how do they compare on fuel economy to a manual box?. I'm also interested in what they are like for towing. I have a manual box at the moment and happy with, but will be looking for a new car soon and I'm considering a DSG over a manual purely due to available choice. Ken
  3. Hi Chris 197 You got an eye for finding a picture, some very nice one's there.
  4. Hi Gaelicstorm7 Very nice pictures you got there. I like the aircraft one's with the nice movement in the props, I'm still trying to master this and keep the shutter speed to less than 200th of a sec. Looks like you got this mastered.
  5. Hi All June is out for me due to a plant shutdown at work. :'( We are all needed for 24hr cover for 2 weeks, then I'm going to France for a week. (you could do a trip there :yes: ) I'll keep my eye on this topic and see what else comes up.
  6. Cheers Jim Will sort out an account with one of the image sites you mentioned. I only took a couple but due to the weather I only have one to upload and it's similar to yours in the lay by.
  7. Hi All Just thought that I might add my name to the group. Firefighter56 Marton Middlesbrough I'm working this week end but I hope you have better weather than the last one. What do I need to do to upload a picture. :S Cheers Ken
  8. Hi all, Geat day out even with the poor weather. Good company, good food & a pint (nice) :p Thanks to Martin & thurlby12 for organising the day. Nice to meet some of the local Skoda owners, nice people. Look forward to the next one, shifts allowing. :S Thanks again Ken
  9. Cheers for that. See you all in the carpark.
  10. Hi Smog monster. Just seen your having a run on Sunday, I would like to join you if that is ok. I'm local so no problem with directions. Do I still need to order meals or is it to late.
  11. I think it was only a stage 1. I had it done in Stokesley north yorks, can't remember the name but he told me that he'd remapped several pd140's with no problems. He had it all day and road tested it in between changes. I took it to the roling road in Northallerton not far from me. While I was there the Fiesta ST club were there having their cars tested. They were a bit suprized to see the results from my car. mk2 octy pd140 L&K.
  12. You got me thinking now, last year I got my pd 140 remapped to 196bhp. At the mo everything is good, I had the turbo changed under warrenty just before I had the remap. I'll have to keep an eye out for problems. I've done nothing else to the car and I'm happy with it.
  13. I had a 130 pd, covered just over 50,000 miles fault free. Best car I've had. Got a 140 pd now just had a new turbo fitted at 37,000 miles, sounded like a police car from cold. Had it fitted under warranty at Derek Slacks Middlesbrough, excellent service. Took it in 08.30 needed it back asap to go to france same day, got it back 14.00, brill.
