@b1ackb1rd - Ask your mapper about a DPFectomy.

Rob's Mk1 VRS Combi
The "missing" headrest obscures an annoying amount of the rear vision. 16" wheels were standard on the vRS estate, but the 17" off a hatch will bolt straight on; you won't even have to change the bolts. A good remap is available from several reputable tuners.

Aircon re gassing and emptying
Yes, and about half the quoted Halfrauds price for the job as well.

MPG not great had car scanned info required
Because the main function of the back wheels on an FWD car is stopping the back bumper dragging on the ground. Practically no-one actually needs rear discs, but stylists think "they look better" (than drums).

Go to a proper broker near you and/or research imported car insurance.

Humming noise at 60mph
What size? I changed the spare on one car to be the same tyre size as the road wheels, since it was on the same size rim.

Start/stop system fault?
What is this nonsense about a "smart" charger? My 3A trickle charger has been around since the 1960s, and reduces charge rate when the battery gets to about 90% without azure dentition or an "app".

My road atlas has never run out of charge...

Pool of "Fluid"
Does it match what's in the expansion tank, or what's in your kitchen tap?

Skoda Yeti noise at rear
More usually called "saw-toothing" IME. Yes, Michelin are quality brand name tyres, but saw-toothing is an artefact on rear tyres caused by hard braking.

Aircon re gassing and emptying
Hint - The guy who does my car uses separate, and differently shaped and labelled, drain and recharge cylinders.

Leaking Clutch - Ongoing issues.
Haven't had this on a Skoda myself, but yes it's a fairly common issue with hydraulic clutches across a range of makes.

Skoda to Alphasud engine possibilities
Are you sure? I thought the 5 speed box was only in the 130 series, and came with semi-trailing arm rear suspension rather than a swing axle.

Fuse 26 blows when washer operates
You have a live short somewhere in the washer circuit. No, I can't tell you where because I don't have your car.

2021 F1 Discussion
@Sad555 - So, if Vercrashen had turned into Hamilton deliberately (He did; watch Lewis' onboard) but Lewis had crashed, there was no case to answer (based on relevant case law).

VRS 245 Warm Up Time
Perhaps if you didn't make a statement that no-one else I know has ever made, I wouldn't question it.

VRS 245 Warm Up Time
So, by your definition, the water system has a "reduced cooling system" since the radiator doesn't receive coolant until its thermostat opens.

faulty brake disc?
Are you sure? Even if you mean 2_000 miles and not "two million and forty eight thousand miles" as typed, that rim is probably corrosion on the unswept edge of the disc rather than wear.

Drive mode
Yes and??? All "sport" mode does on this model is hold the gears longer.

VRS 245 Warm Up Time
OK, how does that give you a "reduced oil circuit" without the engine seizing?
