Took it off my 2016 Octavia before it got handed back. I believe they can be reprogrammed for other cars but having never done it I don't J with what is involved! £250 Ono posted Paid by PayPal gift.

I've just gone through this - Audi particularly for the A4 was a very base spec car and everything was extra. The Passat had a business pack included satnav as did the superb and the octy. I ended up with the octy as I wanted the lower tax payments.

I'd be soaking the glowplugs in plus gas for a week or two, then getting the engine nice and hot and trying the rest. That would then point me in a direction....

Is it through a lease company like lex? I fitted and aftermarket towbar to my lease car, called the lease company who wrote me a letter (mass produced) to say it was OK as long as fitted by a competent person and that the towbar should either be left on at the end of the lease or the car returned to prior towbar condition. All very easy and no hassle - Volvo quoted £1300 for their towbar, local guy £270 for a PCT automotive.....

I'm Gloucestershire and I ordered a Greenline Business SE Estate. Delivery date has gone back as there is no one to deliver it to me....

I used to use waxoyl - now I use Bilt Hamber. A lot less messy than waxoyl and self heals unlike waxoyl which always seems to flake off after a while. It comes in a spray can with an injection lance too so you can I ject into box sections etc. UB50 for underneath and UC for the engine bay, bonnet, doors etc.

Just been told mine will be delivered to me 3rd March - ordered on 2nd November.

Still waiting for mine - a 1.6 Greenline business SE estate with no extras ordered first week of November.....

If I was in the market for a modded car to that spec- then £2k sounds reasonable. However modding is very personal and not everything suits everyone. You may get a quicker sale if you strip the parts and sell separate and you may realise more value. I'd stick it up for sale at the £2k and see what happens first then make a decision if your not in a rush to sell.

Did anything come back from this one? Have you had one fitted? Thanks Tom

Funny, my parents are members due to them being teachers...... And in a member as they're my parents......

Not sure what you do - but if you are or know a civil servant (teacher etc) you could join CSMA and you get free legal advice with your membership. Or - do you have legal cover on an RAC membership or similar?

Chris Mullins Tyres Unit 1 325 Bristol Road Gloucester GL2 5DN 01452 529537 http://www.chrismullins.co.uk/ Always beats any tyre price around when you ask, does all my motorbike tyres too - all round good service. Well reccomended.

I had Nexen Rodians on a jeep - they had the snowflake symbol on. Very quite, no problem at all in snow. I'd have them again.

Not quite - if you are able to pass IAM with no marks then you are capable of earning a first which is the equivalent of a ROSPA gold. I've got ROSPA gold in car and a First on the bike. After doing both types the only difference is the group and what they offer. For me with the bike at this time I got more from being a member of the local IAM bike group than the ROSPA group - they seemed more friendly and more "human" At the end of the day if you want to do this go and visit your local groups both IAM and ROSPA and decide which best suits you and gives you what you want out of advanced riding/driving.
