Real world VRS economy
Most out of a tank for me is 359 and it said I had 25 miles left, but I wasn't brave enough to find (test) out the accuracy of the fuel range system.

vRS Limited options available at Launch
It doesn't look metallic, sure it's not the bog standard Corrida Red?

Real world VRS economy
On general day to day stuff, mostly the 6 miles each way trip to work and back, plus any shopping trips are returning a 29.9 mpg on Super Unleaded (97). It does go up a bit more of I venture onto the A3 or M25 (aka magic roundabout) at quiet times. Best I've had is ~44mpg on a trip to Somerset with a light foot and light traffic.

Usb charging very slow
The only concern that I have is there maybe an issue with a return current, someone with electronic skills may well be able to confirm or deny that. I have a current draw issue with my S20+ if I want to use AA and Bluetooth, I have to choose one or tother. Not both as I have a wireless charger in the car, which allows me hands free conversations and charging, but it denys me AA. So I just use Google Maps instead, not that I have any need for them UFN.

Usb charging very slow
Well I've given you a possible solution. You either put up with the problem or try and find a workaround, but it may (or may not) involve an extra cable to supplement the power draw.

Usb charging very slow
Have you tried using a USB doubler? I can get a USB C doubler.. Something like this should allow you to charge from an adaptor, whilst you connect the other one to the USB port (in theory).

What external CD Drives can be used to play my CDs?
Are you that old? 🤔

What external CD Drives can be used to play my CDs?
Someone call the whitecoats, another one has escaped. 😉 CDs are for home, it takes my PC about 90-120s to copy a CD into MP3 format at 192kbps. Which is a good compromise on quality, size and space taken.

Now give your VIN number to your local dealer and they'll be able to order the correct paint for you.

New Octavia 2020 vRS?
So do I. But so far (touchwood) apart from 1 very hot day, it has performed flawlessly since a firmware update. Which is something that I asked Garlands to do in the first place. 🙄

Dunno yet. I'll wait for a while as I can't change for about a year.

Short USB C cable for dashcam
Have a look on Aliexpress or Etsy, both are quite good for finding odd things. Type carefully though as you maybe offered something quite unusual or unexpected. 😂😳

New Octavia 2020 vRS?
I won't be having one. Looking at the new Jaguar XE 2021 edition, with loads of gizmos and it comes in at a similar price to the RS. Has a traditional gear lever (well similar to BMW), although it still has an electronic parking brake. Looks much nicer.

Switched fuses for dashcam.
I haven't. Because... 1. I haven't/don't have any time, too busy with work especially when I can get paid min £355‐£440 per extra shift. 2. I haven't got the patience to [censored] around with the stupid glovebox and the dampener, which I've looked for can't seem to find and with a car that has caused me nothing but trouble for the last 7 months, I don't think that I will bother, I'll get a company like Bannings to do it.

Switched fuses for dashcam.
Hi. Can anyone help me with a list of switched fuses that I can "piggy back" my dashcam off please. (Octavia 245 RS) Got a Nextbase 622gw to try and hardwire in.

Oil service reset
Hi. Got a quick question, my car is telling me that I'm due an oil service in 27 days time. That's unlikely to happen as my last booking for my ongoing oil sensor failure warnings was cancelled by text! Is there a way to reset it, to stop its constant nagging, because gawd knows when we're going to come out of lock down and I'll be able to get an appointment with the garage to do both oil change & sensor failure work. Thanks.. Stay safe.
