Hi all, Been speaking with Caffyns Skoda @ Tunbridge Wells through work so got away with emailing. Darren in parts has been on to Skoda Uk and the official line he's had back "There is NO Spare Wheel for the VRS, the one highlighted (see previous posts) would not be sufficient for your Vehicle" Jokingly said to Darren if he could make a kit then he'd have a killing from Briskoda. Separately parts prices would be Alloy (Gemini) £300.13 Jack £27.34 Brace £16.06 Pirelli Tyre £151.00 First reaction was WOW!!!! Now to gun at Citygate for selling me a kit that doesn't work. Regards Brian

Hi all, Just inspected the boot of the car and it's a size 16" wheel. Car is 18" not happy as surely x + y isn't going equate z. Well I think a word with citygate is needed Regards Brian

Hi all, Just had a look under the Variable Boot Floor In the car, the kit has a full size wheel not a space saver Label has ATEST 8SD (funny c) 1426 then underneath it numbers 5E0093860 Regards Brian

Croxley Area, my other half's folks live in Kenilworth Rd. Either car would be seen in an around. Both my brother and me live more in and around Warner Bros Studios area. You'll regonise mine from the rear little hornet on board car hanger. We must get Briskoda stickers for the car. Regards Brian

Where about's in Watford are you? I'll keep a eye out. Also you might of seen by brothers fabia vrs running around. Blue with black roof mk2 If you mention fitted to Brian from Arco's car if any problems lol Regards Brian

Hi all, I paid about £90 for a tyre kit including wheel through Citygate Parts. Was fitted when she was in for cosmetic work. Regards Brian

Hi all, Appreciate the help and guidance went into the local tyre shop that I know really well. Think the wear hasn't helped, with the car having to cope with 3 different people (dad/brother/ myself) style of driving. Interesting Conti 2's that were factory fitted are no longer available. Initially gave me options of Conti 3's and 5's, said would be better with 5's as when replacing the backs should have no problems with discontinued tyres. Conti 5's bout £100 Each, is this a fair market price? Regards Brian

Hi all, Iphone playing up... Thinking of changing tyres on car, can anyone shed experiences on tyre brands?? Bridgestone Kumho Firestone Fallen Gt Radial As don't know much myself Thanks Brian

Initially thinking Geneva maybe??? Regards Brian

If True Fantastic Brian

Hi, In mine I use the following Iphone 5S - Lighting 30 pin to Lightining Connector with Standard Lead, works well but no album art on a bolero head unit Only issue is the lead is to short well annoying :think: Regards Brian

Thinking to try the Stelvio Pass, top gear best EU road... Also a guy at work mentioned Swiz / Austria with a car tax pass?????

With the language barrier SWMBO is Italian and can spk a little French etc. Route on google to in-laws shows 3 options Vicenza 1) A4 via Stuttgart and innsbrook 2) E40 Brussels touching Cologne then as above 3) A2 Via Basel Milan and then across Which would people go? Regards Brian

Thanks to everyone who's replied and given tips etc. Just struggling to get head round spare bulbs with Xenons, would any bulb kit suffice?? Regards Brian

Hi all, Apologies if this should be in a different section of Briskoda. Planning on taking VRS to see family in Northern Italy, first time taking car abroad. Do I need headlight beam thingys even with Xenons??? Anything else needed???? Regards Brian

Great Little Find Back at School I went to the now flatten Vauxhall Vectra Plant at Luton, where they had nothing like the setup to skoda Regards Brian

Hi all, Some pictures taken tonight of the car with dusk, so the lights come into play Regards Brian

Hi JP0202 Will have more tomorrow, no didn't go for Sunset Glass. Regards Brian

Hi all, Here's ma couple of my Octavia VRS tdi Estate in Race Blue with Black Pack. A couple taken on my brothers drive next to his Blue Fabia VRS my 3yr Old lad wanting his own pictures and when I took delivery in December, with the interior night shot also. They look the business, both pleased with the car's. I've had mine since December and loving every minute. Apart from the other night we challenged each other getting back from Maple Cross to Watford on M25. Lost on the race as the DSG gearbox and being lighter car. For those still waiting their car to arrive, keep the faith. Regards Brian

Hi all, Reset the phone settings and the car now sees the phone through media port Regards and thanks Brian

Hi all, Really confused , but have narrowed it down to the Iphone. Tried the Mrs's Iphone 5 on the lead, and the Media port is live Guessing change of Tack and go with the phone settings etc.... Regards Brian

Hi Andy, I've tried my brothers lead from his Fabia on my phone in the Octy with no joy and also his combination with no joy... Still think a call to stealers in the morning Regards Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tried the reset, still no joy [emoji34] Annoying as it's displays connection through the lead and power to charge the phone. And now to wind me up, after coming off a call, the volume shuts off on audio. Oh well call to citygate in the morning. Regards Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Andy, Sorry to sound vague, reset a function in Setup? Regards Brian

Hi, Appologies iphone crashed before posting [emoji35]. Question is, can anyone come up with a easy fix or is it case of a trip to dealers. My VRS Estate has started dropping out the media (mitsumi) port. On the screen it shows media with line through, even thou power to phone. Phone plays music through Bluetooth thou. Frustrating as it's just come out of stealers for a couple of checks. Regards Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
