Fault codes in the A/C module.

Yes, or you can replace them with proper Terry Jubilee clips.

In a word, yes. This does not only mean a different flight with them, but can mean a different airline entirely. BA once cancelled my flight, I told the desk staff where I actually wanted to get to and they put me on a different airline, saving me an hour on a train and getting me where I was going 3 hours before the next BA flight going my way landed.

It's dead common. The "best solution" with asymmetric but non-directional tyres is to swap all 4 diagonally (Front left with rear right and front right with rear left). Someone with a Hunter rig may help with any geometry issues but a lot of the problem is wear caused by braking and no acceleration forces on the rear axle. Also, as above the issue also occurs with hatchbacks (and indeed mks 1, 2 and 4 as well as mk3 cars).

As I'm reading this you need a different garage. One that will do a UV dye check rather than guessing.

I'm pretty much dead certain that JR is correct about it being the immobiliser. More wallet pain here I'm afraid.

*Urgent help*Oil in spark plug engine misfiring
KenONeill replied to kavnapal's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
That is generally but not always true. You may have caught the stem seal failure at an early stage. It requires more investigation than I can do in text. Go to a good local garage or VAG specialist, not a Skoda main stealer. -
8 x 4 truck, the "Leyland Octopus"

Dunno, but most of the Octopii in the UK originated in Leyland I think?
-
Are you sure it's cruise control and not a GPS assisted speed limiter?
-
What cemented that one was the one time that their masthead actually read "The Grauniad".

Is that his hide hanging on the shed, Fred?

also @Martyn91 True this, based on knowing private hire (and taxi using private car) drivers well enough to know that their expectations were 2 or 3 years battery life for Octavia and Superb 3s,

The second point only actually applies if the last registered keeper was (or at least appears to be) a private individual.
