Knew it was you in the Citigo! Some pictures on my holiday last week with the Battalion30Five GT-R group across Europe to Romania. Got back having done 2,650 miles in 9 days. (Had to change plates part way as car was booked on Romanian tax thing using different plate by accident)6 points

So, after the voluntary transfer, last week Skoda refunded me one month PCP rental. Today, they have sent me the final invoice requesting that I pay it within 14 days. It just has the extra mileage charges, the wheels, although highlighted on the report and being pretty trashed, have not been charged for. Well done Skoda. I'm impressed.4 points

19/6/17... Finally able to use the Garage, Albeit without the Floor tiles but the 2 x Part Clear Resin is doing the job and the Floor is bone dry with no dust plus is Water and Oil resistant. The new Ramp has now set and for the first time yesterday I was able to put the Car and Bike in! Still got to get some power installed which will happen over the next Month but I am now very happy that everything is sorted. Bags of room in the New Garage too. The new Toy, 2002 Honda CBR600F, Fuel Injected Model...4 points

Well there is a reason. I'm not surprised really. A bit like Jo Cox I'm guessing this is a very angry, unstable man. Unfortunately I doubt it'll be the last one. This is part of the reaction the terrorist want. They want a religious war so they're quite happy for reprisals against their own people.3 points

Good evening all. My name is Richard (Rich) and yesterday I became a proud owner of my first ever Skoda. After much deliberation I decided upon a fairly well specced Octavia vRS Estate in meteor grey. It's been great so far, especially having never owned an estate (I prefer to call it a wagon) or DSG. Do people do 'build threads' (apologies if this isn't in the lingo - I also have a couple of classic minis). I've a few ideas on some subtle final touches. Any how, great to be here.2 points

Hello all I have recently purchased my first Skoda. She really is a lot of fun and cannot complain at the experience I have had so far. As you can see she is not standard. Hosting a few mods such as coilovers and a stage two remap whilst keeping hold of that glorious red, she is a real keeper. I have many questions however I will post them in the correct thread. Thanks for having me!2 points

Bluetooth isn't part of the Columbus, it's a separate module. If you're having trouble connecting to Bluetooth, I wouldn't particularly think the Columbus would be to blame. But try the disconnect first and see if that helps. After that, you can try the dealers, but they'll charge you the earth and don't really get too involved with the inner workings of the Columbus unit. They'll most likely end up trying to sell you a new system so be sitting down when they tell you how much. Or if you're convinced it's the Columbus you can send it to me and I'll run a check on it and see what's going on.2 points

"The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/terrorism There's a very real chance that this was carried out by someone who sympathises with the EDL/Britain First anti-muslim agenda/viewpoint/whatever you want to call it. If confirmed it would match the definition quite well IMO.2 points

Hi guys, & as I was probably the guilty party in initiating the straying "off thread", I'll take the full the full & undiluted blame (I'm married, so taking the blame for everything from the weather, to a Tanker collision in the Arabian Gulf, comes as second nature to me), & issue grovelling apologies. All that I will say, is that as I have a 75 bhp at the moment, & No. 1 son has a 60, & I've driven/been a passenger in both versions over numerous miles. But when my PCP is up (in approximately one year from now) & assuming that I do go for another Citigo (more than likely) I'll go for the 60, rather than the 75. Perhaps (& I say only "perhaps") the 75 has "some" advantages over the 60 (although I personally haven't noticed any), although to upgrade from a 60 to a 75, is only a few hundred quid, so we're not talking about SOTA improved engineering here. The 60 is higher geared, & still does 43% more than the speed limit, which is more than adequate for me (& probably most ****-scared-of-speed-traps people). Also, it would appear that as substantial numbers of new Citigo's trundle out of the factory with a 60 engine as standard - the SE, the Colour Edition & even the Monte Carlo (which is advertised as the "flash" version) comes with a 60 engine as standard, so it is conceivable that the Citigo was possibly designed with the 60 engine in mind, & the 75 was but an afterthought, aimed at possibly scooping up yet a further few (& it is but a few) hundred quid. Certainly (although it could be just my imagination), No. 1 son's 60 sounds "purrier" than mine, and although mine's a Greentech, his is no less economical. If one drives well North of the legal speed limit, then perhaps that is when the 70 comes into its' own - but I don't, I'm too wary about speed traps. If one habitually thrashes the engine to within an inch of its' little life, then perhaps the 75 holds certain advantages - but I don't do that either, I never have a need to, and in any case, it goes against my inherent nature to "hammer" the living daylights out of an engine. Most Citigo-allied topics are well thrashed out on Briskoda, & if there were any blatant "failings" of the 60 engine, then I'm sure that they would have been aired far & wide, & we'd all be in possession of owners' apprehensions. So, in attempted crawling humiliation for straying off-piste, I personally have a 75 bhp: have done oodles of research & made mega enquiries (most competitors which have City cars only are offering around 60 bhp), & when I next go for a Citigo, it's going to be a 60 - whatever model it may be. Hope that this helps?????????????????2 points

Not downplaying his terrorist intentions but he is a muppet, a coward, a piece of dog **** what ever label you want to use. Just the same as the others that attacked London and Manchester. No distinction between colour or religion. Argue that whichever way you wish. I don't tend to refer to them as terrorists as the word indicates that I should be afraid of them and I'm not, so they've still lost.2 points

I think the way the media have covered this tragedy is deplorable along with some politicians who have used this as a political football and have stirred things up with assumptions and statements that are not correct. Sadly we can't turn the clock back or bring back the dead so let the full inquiry get to the truth. In the meantime check all other similar buildings and make sure this doesn't happen again.2 points

So today I went along to the VWG magazine rolling road day at awesome gti. I ran the car on the rollers and it made... 244bhp, 279ftlbs at 142mph and outside temp 26°c I'm really happy with the results as I didn't know what bhp it was running. I've also ordered the vwr fmic today with the offers they had running. Can't wait for stage 2 now2 points

Hi all I'm selling my beloved Octavia vRS petrol 220 tsi dsg. I've just popped my plate on retention and the car is ready to go as soon as you want it. Not looking to PX. It's clear from finance and not stolen, not written off, and not been in a major accident. It's had a bump to the drivers wing and door but repaired by an approved Skoda Bodyshop that doesn't affect the paint and corrosion warranty. This is a UK registered car with 5 years warranty (feel free to check with Skoda UK) Registered April 2016 on a 65 plate. Standard in all ways apart from the 19" Sirius Superb wheels The car has done 11495 miles so far and won't increase too much I've done about 7500 miles since buying it. It's got full Skoda service history. I'd like to say it's in perfect condition, the interior is immaculate and comes with full leather upholstery. Additional equipment included over the normall vRS specification is - Sprint Yellow Full leather Illuminated footwells Columbus nav with WiFi and LAN Smartlink with Android Auto and Apple Carplay Space saving spare wheel 5 year warranty from new Black Pack Colour Maxidot Equipment not the same as a regular vRS is - No vRS button (but put it in sport and dsg gear changes do increase the fun and it sounds great as it changes gear!) No factory alarm 19" Genuine Sirius Alloys All four tyres are great with plenty of tread, no kerbing on any alloys, no scratches, no bad odours. This car was destined to go to Cyprus hence the specification. It's a UK registered car. The dvla do not class it as an import. Just so you have that peace of mind and doesn't affect the insurance. I'll attach some photos! I'd like 17,000 for it please, I'd love to keep it but financially it's not ideal really. Another one sold on autotrader for about 17950 with slightly more miles and there isn't many of these for sale. Thanks for looking please direct message me or what's app or call me 07932 720542 I'm based near Newquay, owned ŠKODA's since I've passed my test and I'm sure other members can vouch to say that I do look after my cars and you won't find many out there in the same condition as this one. Thank you Leon1 point

So drove the VR down to Newcastle on Friday and back on the Sunday. Had the wife and soon in the car so was nice chilled drive but the ride was great. 3 hour drive with the car being lowered on the ST coilovers was great. Update with wheels. Should have some new wheels Wednesday if everything goes to plan. Also hoping to lower the rear more (might have to take out the rear adjusters) and also the front to get the stance sorted. Next on the list I think will be a new rear diffuser in gloss black then a front splitter.1 point

When I detached the bonnet from each arm to add the bracket, I must have not quite marked the position of the bonnet correctly, so when I reattached the bonnet to the arm, it was in a slightly different place. When I closed the bonnet, you could see that the line of it wasn't quite right. So then just lossened of the spline nut, moved the bonnet slightly and tightened up. Closed it and checked the line. Repeated as nessesary. It wasn't a huge adjustment. Just changing the angle slightly to get the line correct.1 point

We got some crazy reflections today after a few hours of cleaning & polishing. Today's modification was a new set of fitted mats. Not exactly pushing the boundaries of upgrades but it's been an expensive month in terms of kids etc.1 point

From what I've seen, it usually involves a smart-phone of some variety. I believe the inevitable messes are euphemised as 'distraction-induced RTCs'.1 point

Don't accept the dealers suggestion to 'drive it for a while and see'. If there is a mechanical problem, do you really want to wait and see? Take it back, report your concerns, ask them to confirm it's safe to drive, in writing, or to book it in for investigation and any necessary remedial action. Gaz PS: Might be worth checking the wheel bolts are all tight.1 point
