  1. Thanks again all. To be honest the MOT only cost £21 so kinda should of expected **** to happen. However, after I pointed them at someone at Skoda main dealer, the problem went away and they gave me the cert. I've never come across this before, so you live and learn.
  2. Ok, thanks for all the constructive advice on this. I did find a post that was similar, but it didnt suggest how to convince the tester that it was correct - or what to hit the him with to get him to do his job properly. He doesnt accept my word on it, so I've pointed them at Skoda main dealer, and they're happy to put them straight. So hopefully it will be resolved very quickly now. What I find so bizarre is that this is the standard setup for the vehicle, so why dont the testers know about this? Surely my car isnt the first they've done?
  3. Looking for some advice. Octavia VRs 2011 - just put it in for it's MOT and it's failed on front sidelights not functioning. Bulbs and fuse all fine - and I dont think there's a electrical problem. I believe it's designed this way as the DLR's come on - but tester didnt accept this. Elsewhere I've found reference to DLR's being the sidelights on the VRS, but I could do with evidence to back this up as VOSA dont seem to have notes on this. Ridiculous situation where as there's a bulb present, it's failed it's MOT - but I think it's a standard headlamp set, and the DLRs are used instead. Anyone got words of wisdom.
  4. Thanks all, and yes Paul, the maxidot is there, found in the model how to activate it, and changed the settings. Hadn't even realised that there was a further menu contained within it activated from the right hand stork, so thanks for that.
  5. Black VRS diesel, 61 plate, have had it for 2 weeks now, and very happy with it. Went from a A4 avant company car to this, my own, and so far it's really impressed. Much better pickup, and economy is at least 10% better, which I'm impressed with as I think its basically the same engine. Its got the Bury dealer fit bluetooth in it, which I'm also really surprised by - I have two phones, a work one and a personal, and it will pair with the two phones at the same time, allowing music (or podcasts) playback from one, and calls coming inwards on the other, and all voice activated. Couple of minor niggles, firstly the locking which seems to have to be pressed twice for the back doors. I think this is a anti-hijack feature, but not sure. I guess it can be programmed out? And an annoying intermittent rattle from the central sun-glasses box in the ceiling. I'll have to find a bit of rubber and jam it. But, given that I'm putting on about 3k miles a month, I think it's a really good buy. Anyway, that's me.. Black Oct Vrs hatch, North Wiltshire, big grin!
