Skoda not reading files from mp3 player
I added more MP3 files to my 32gb stick and they would no longer play, I unplugged and reconnected still nothing then on trying the reconnection again it fired up and plays a treat. This usb stick has a thin blue strip in the port where the usual usb 3 has a thick blue section

cleaning great fuel injector
One of the best pieces of advice I had with fuel was never run it to empty it disturbs the "sentiment" (sediment) in the fuel tank. Good advice considering the cost and bother of blocked line filters.

cleaning great fuel injector
I used to use a tank of the Premium fuel on my Ford Focus, every couple of "ordinary" the difference made it (to me) worth using it all the time.

Had an accident; InsCo want to write it off. Valuation issues
I had a Micra rear ended the insurance took it away. I had personal stuff in it so I jumped the gun and asked for an independant assessor. They laughed and sent a car to pick me up and take me to the holding area where I was told to take anything I wanted, So I did, I also had a payment for a full tank of fuel!

Marmite subject.
I was ghosting through some country lanes, when my reverie was disturbed by something coming up fast behind. I think it was a renault 5, definite turbo noise as they lifted off the accelerator, suddenly it was behind me feinting at my boot lid. I goosed the Monte (safety in mind) and left it behind only to have it catch up and start again. I must admit I liked the sound and found myself thinking about sporty noises 😁😁

Bike carrier suggestions.
It would help if you stated which Skoda model you have and whether a tow ball is fitted 😉 Just a couple I googled; https://www.whatcar.com/news/best-bike-racks-2022/n23284 https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/cycling/1409063/best-bike-racks-for-cars

Monte Carlo 1.5 DSG - paddles ?
I don't have paddles the dsg has D, S, and Manual selection the kick down works beautifully, who needs something else to go wrong? Although Clarkson has a liking for them as I remember 😀.

Adaptive Cruise Control bug
Just curiosity, drivers were told by DOT that they don't have to signal all the time on the motorway. Do you use your indicator when overtaking? this should perhaps have an input to the ACC.

The 'A' Button on the centre console
There is no instruction book unless you can up/download one.Besides I am too old to devote myself to learning an instruction book anyhow, matey. As wih my quality air guns I just fuel the toad-mobile and squeeze the trigger and off I go to have as much fun as I can squeeze out of a gallon.
