  1. Strange coincidence...I ordered an Ibiza early October and specified March delivery...and they said "that SHOULD be possible".
  2. If you notice "40deg" flashing....it's telling you that a trip to Specsavers is due!
  3. I'm interested in the poster's original photo....there seems to be a lot of corrosion going on under that bonnet - the strap, it's connection, the nearby bolt-head. I have a 2013 Citigo (with stop-start) and there is no sign of corrosion anywhere...in fact, in comparison under the bonnet looks like a new car and i don't know why there should be such a difference!
  4. Easy way with no need to remove anything......open bonnet. At each end of the black plastic moulding, there is a gap. Take a torch and look inside....you will see a rectangular drain-hole (one at each side of the car)....these get blocked with debris/leaves and prevent water from draining out behind the front wheel. Take a long pointed object ( a bbq skewer for example) and make sure that these holes are clear.....you should then be able to pour water into the plenum chamber (that's what it's called) and watch it drain out behind each front wheel. Job done. The other way is to remove the black plastic moulding.....but it may be awkward/difficult to replace it properly.
  5. Neither myself nor OH have any problems with the seat position/comfort...in fact, I really like the seats!
  6. My Citigo is 5 years old and the filler-cap "O-ring" is unblemished....looks like new!
  7. ^^At each end of the plenum chamber there is a drain hole. Look through the gap at either end of the black plastic cover (with a torch if necessary)...but don't try to remove it! If there is debris, it usually collects at these drain-holes....you can clear them with a long, thin object....like a bbq skewer. When clear, you should be able to pour water into the plenum chamber, it will run to either end and drain out behind the front wheels.

    Rear Bulbs

    I shouldn't worry too much about the reasoning behind the light oddities...my 2013 Greentech has exactly the same bulbs/filaments working as yours and has just passed it's 2nd MOT. I agree with Hyphons...economy of manufacturing - simpler and quicker to have all countries' cars with the same bulbs.
  9. Should have include the link.... https://www.f1autocentres.co.uk/car-servicing/book-service
  10. It's just that a number of places DO charge more as the engine size increases (formula1 autocentres where I go, for example) .....and before they introduced "one price for all models" - so did Skoda UK. So not all that silly an idea.
  11. ....and I don't think that a service on a small £10000 car should cost the same as the same service on a large car costing several times more. Or, is that just me thinking it's a con?
  12. I've never had a PCP...but do know that dealers love them- for exactly the reason you're experiencing ie you become a sort of "captive" customer. In your position, I'd keep your present car.
  13. Take it up with the dealer....if the Black Edition came with the PID as part of it's spec, insist on having one.
  14. Re cambelts/chain...definitely a belt of the long-life variety....shouldn't ever need changing (that's not official Skoda, but off-the record from my dealership's service manager).
  15. "the headlights no longer come on dimly"......when you switch on the sidelights, the headlamps SHOULDN'T come on at all....why would they? If you want the headlamps on (dipped or main-beam), you turn the switch to the next position.
