    • Yes, thanks for the heads up on the typo!   Not only are the B6 used across the whole platform, but they are also used on loads of other VW models like Golf 7 and 8, as well as a Caddy California and even a Ford Tourneo MPV/van.   My assumption with the differences in the B4 therefore is that they are a universal fit, but must have different damping rates to match the OEM supplied shocks. But with the B6, it’s generic across the board. I guess this may work in the Superbs favour, as those shocks would surely feel stiffer on a lighter golf.
    • There is an absurdity in having all these acronyms and having to look them up on a forum before making a comment. I never realised that i'd spend so much time looking things up.  There's one thread mentioning that you need to be aware of a hidden button at the back of the seat on a Fabia to remove the front head rests,  It's not in the book.  I bought rubber mats and had worries about how to remove the carpet mats in the front.  In fact you just grab them at the front and rip them out.  The plastic screws have no slot for a screwdriver like other cars I've owned.  I found nothing about this in the book and got the info online  from the place I bought the mats from.  Skodas were traditionally aimed at older drivers looking for safe and simple.  I'm not sure what the category of buyer they are now aiming for.  A Skoda won't be the right choice for young speed merchants either.
    • Lots of surplus generated electricity in Scotland where the National Grid is not connecting and taking it and where it needs used locally or not used.   Big investments announced  this week oop north on 2 ex Oil Rig Fabrication yards.  That is East of Inverness and north of Inverness oop north. But still the big pylons need building to take the electricity south.

    • They are not targeting very hard. The places and fleets with Hydrogen Vehicles are mainly in the North of the UK as in Scotland. Where there has been money put into the Inftrastructure. Honda were doing Hydrogen around Swindon. Took the money and then dropped that.      After built using petrochemicals BEV,s are not using around 1 litre of the product refined from oil to go 10 miles,  passenger cars that is, maybe even 7 seaters with 1 seat ocupied. & the refining uses a lot of Oil & Gas to generate the electricity to run the refinery, unless it is maybe Nuclear generated Electricity, but then that is not happening just now in the Ukraine.    ........................  Lots of Electricity used to build vehicles and components but there is renewables generating quite a lot of that for industry now.   Then 2 in every 5 cars built in the UK are Electrified.   Lots of MHEV & PHEV,s.  Less are BEV,s.   Electric MINIS will be coming in from China now for the next couple of years at least.
