  1. What the young aussie says about fm, am. is true, being a c.b fanatic the am signal is very powerfull against the f.m band, hence all the cheap mobile c.bs available here are on the f.m band. i.e a very short range, approx. only 15miles away, compared with c.b on a.m band approx. 40-50miles away.The good ol guverment band mobile cb on am, they were supposed to interfear with peoples tvs.
  2. I use the Halfords dog guard just clamps round two rear headrest bars don't even fit the extention bars supplied its long enough already.
  3. The only noise from my 1.25 is when traveling with the rear windows down,(with the mutt in the rear) quite annoying booming noise.
  4. Being now a retired motorcycle mechanic of 41yrs in the trade, my past dislike with Ducati m/c belts was the very short life thay have, i.e most models the belts must be changed every 24months or 12,000 miles, ducatis have 2 of these fitted. The go faster ducati R models to be changed every year or 12,000 regardless of time or mileage. I knew of a customer who bought a s/h model from fleebay, rode it home around 100 miles ok, left to go to work the following morning, heard a slight noise from the motor and very redused power, A.A relayed the bike into my workshop, a strip down then discovered 1 snapped belt on the rear cylinder, 2 bent valves and a damaged valve seat. Going through the service histoy of this bike, belts had been replaced 3yrs before but had only covered around 3,500 miles, standing and old age is the killer of belts.. But on the subject of cam chains, no manufactor has yet to invent a 100% reliable tensioner system, being it manuael,or oilpressure feed system. I know this has nothing to do with yetis but the design system is the same. To belt up or get chained up.
  5. I will be p/ex my yeti ts1.25 with the spare wheel kit removed from my car to the next, same model only I require d.s.g. Do I have to swap the false floor with the other car or are they the same?
  6. Still using my trusty 4yr old Samsung galaxy ace on my 63plate works fine, paired first time. cheap on flee-bay.
  7. If it is, then put my name down, I want one, this time with d.s.g in white.. :love:
  8. Tell the money grabbing sky folk, you aint got a job now,, and you cant afford it anymore, they are loosing a lot of customers already, they will cut your rip off bill by around 25% for approx. 6months, then do it again. But I have b.t sports free with their phone line, more footy next year (from sky making sky sports left whit nought.) I threatened to leave last year due to not updating my box, and got a free skyxhd box with Bluetooth free of charge and half price bill till around sept this year.
  9. Yes I to find the brake peddle a wee to high, don't suppose theres any adjustment thingy lurking around the peddle.
  10. Yes I found out the hard way, by driving to very wet Maidstone dvla office to put my retension cert plate on the new yeti, whilst waiting for it to stop chucking it down, walking by me was a very rare and wet female traffic warden, who said don't bother to feed the meter, that office has been closed since November.. Go on line to dvla look at list of car tax etc Each dept now has different post codes for each subject. just send all ness paperwork to them, done. My new log book complete with my reg on took around 1 week, tax arrived week later. But when log book came back, there were not any instructions has when I could put my plate on? but what the heck, on it went.

    Beware!

    And don't do what I did last week with my 6 week old yeti, lock the doors with your dog in the back, unless you wanted to hear your alarm and flashers going off in sainsburys car park.!!
  14. Orderd my yeti 1.2 se+ in muckyvarno on march 1st had it delivered at home here in sunny Folkestone on oct 9th, was told this was on the final production run of the se+. Also I was surprised to just read above that yetis are shipped to sheerness, just up the road from me, as I was told they land at a docks in the Grimsby area, never mind its here on my drive me and the mut love it.
  15. Yea, Got it up and all contact numbers working fine. Cheers Nev
  16. Hello Nev here, Had new yeti around 1 week now and just received tax disc (rent) My little prob is got phone connected to admunson Bluetooth fine but cant get my contacts/numbers up so I could call, I do remember seeing on here but cant find it anywhere or im being a wee blind bat. Love this yeti site.
  17. Morning all, new boy here, just got delivered yesterday oct 9th my skoda yeti tsi 1.25 se+ in muckeyvardo shade, that's was herindoors choice, with spare wheel assy. Was informed that it was on the last production run of this model. Told on may 10th about se+ interior shortages, Well just noticed that the front seats don't match the rear trim, front seats have silver speckles in s.e rear plain black, she still has not noticed this! am I going to complain? No im not I love this car. Ordered on march 1st delivered yesterday with only a mileage of 6 miles.? was this normal? I would have expected around 50+ miles, never mind, only reason was iv just finished employment of 41yrs as a motorcycle mechanic, and 2yrs part time with 3 winter seasons working at the Ducati factory in filthy industrial Italy. Prity good mechanic and with electrics, so I enjoy reading your tips on yetis. I am in Folkestone still a bit sunny, not many holiday swine people left now. Nev
