Have traded in our Superb Estate (46K miles from new) as our needs changed. Here's summary of what needed fixing etc: 3 x window regulators Sump (corrosion), most expensive repair, dealer goodwill helped. A/C component (not compressor), dealer goodwill Squeaky seat belt buckle Front Skoda badge fell off (glue failed). Fuel cap seal Small oil leak. Car never burnt much oil if at all. Car was serviced by Skoda main dealer with Haldex oil and A/C service every 2 years. Long term fuel consumption (mostly in hilly town) 20MPG, doing 6K miles annually. Road Tax £320. Paid £12.5K in 2014 as Skoda Approved Used. Petrol was out of favour at that time with the diesel equivalent being £18-20K. Got £6K trade-in (fair cosmetically). Car has now had the cosmetic issues fixed and is up for £9K with an independant dealer. Considered Kamiq and Karoq but went for something else.

Yes that was the blown fuse. Anyone know where the front and rear socket's wiring connects?

Went through all the fuses in the dash panel one by one and only one (no 35 cigarette symbol in owners manual) was blown with it removed boot socket has power.

A USB plug fell into the front 12V socket there was a spark then the socket was dead. Replaced the blown 25amp blade fuse and both the front and rear sockets are dead but the 12V in the boot works. Is there are another fuse or circuit breaker that needs resetting? Thanks.

I have updated thread as the wheel has arrived, and it's the same wheel in the box!

Ordered the cheaper wheel - 3T0071497E7ZS - £182 delivered. Very interesting.... it's arrived and it's the same part number wheel 3T0601025D7ZS in the box thats £335! The different part number is for wheel and badge as per attached pics. How easy is it to swap the logo badge from the old wheel?

Thanks silver1011!

Hi all, Pot hole buckled one of my wheels (not noticed at first) so need a new wheel, but there are two part numbers: 3T0071497E7ZS - £182 delivered 3T0601025D7ZS - £335 delivered What's the difference and will the cheaper one work fine as a replacement on a 2011 Combi? Thanks,

Started getting lots of road noise and my rear tyres were down to 3mm and felt slightly sawtoothed on the inner edge. Have changed the rears from the Falkens that where on the car when bought to Avon ZV7s and have had a Hunter four wheel alignment done. The Hunter operator knew about rear inner edge wear on Octavia and Superb, which he said was common if the boot is always fully loaded on high mileage fleet cars, so adjusted rears to be more upright within tolerance so when loaded it avoids the excess camber that causes the inner edge wear. On the before settings the Car also had a 1 degree crab and now drives more smoothly with it corrected along with greatly reduced road noise even without the load cover. D,

HDR in photography was generally about compressing the bright and dark areas into a standard dynamic range display. The HDR we are talking about now with laser projection in cinemas and HDR TVs is about delivering a high dynamic range image with increased brightness range and bright specular highlights coupled with wide colour range resulting in images that can look more "real".

Ever growing amount of 4K/UHD productions happening in the UK fuelled by the 4K/UHD requirement for streaming service productions/co-productions. BT already doing 4K/UHD live sport over IP (Internet). Sky Q box adds 4K/UHD capability to Sky with some live but mostly streamed content. H.265 compression makes UHD manageable. http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/07/sky-q-4k-uhd-launch-channel-details/

Lots of huge movies are shooting 35mm film in the UK right now (even some 16mm) and it's well publicised that Chris Nolan's Dunkirk is shooting 65mm film (the prints are 70mm). Kodak announced they are putting 65mm film processing into the UK, currently all the 65mm film goes to the USA for processing. There is also some very nice large format digital material as well shot on Alexa 65 and Red Weapon 8K cameras. HDR finishing (grading) works great from film and digital camera sources and it's not just about the bright specular highlights it's also about the Wide Color Gamut (WCR).
