I clipped a short post, didn't see it driving in to a carpark few months ago put a dent in rear door and wheel arch Can't afford to have it fixed at the moment and I can't afford to use my insurance company

I had my one 18 months still love it... I love the power.. just put your foot down and bye bye to any one be hide you.. Had few problems... Water pump change due to over heating My sun blind on the sunroof has broken off it plastic clips both sides.. some how i need to take the whole blind off, I did speak to a dealer last year he said £1000.00 to change it.. Just got back from the Cornwall today been there 2 weeks done 1,300 miles over all 53 mpg, best was on a 20 miles ride 72 mpg Left Cornwall with 400 miles in tank.. drove 300 miles home still had 225 miles in tank -
All fixed now thanks.. only took them 6 working days to fix it..!!
-
I got my car back at lunch time, It was the water pump at fault, But I now have a new thermostat fitted also..
-
Last 2 weeks while my vRS has been getting repaired, Skoda hired me a Golf GTD... Wow pocket rocket..!! Great to drive, faster 0-60 than my vRS This one had a Sat Nav, Electric folding mirrors and front parking sensors, which i am going to miss as my car doesn't have. There one one thing I didn't like was the boot space, bit small couldn't get 2 luggage bags in the boot, Had to put the rear seats down few times....

Update on car .. They fitted new thermostat.. took it for a test ride.. still overheating.. so now they have ordered a new water pump.. might get it back for the weekend

You too.... my car over heated 10 days ago, had to call out roadside Assistance for help.. temp went into the red 130c Had to be towed to the garage at 9.30pm on a Saturday.. Its still in Skoda garage waiting for a Thermostat.. Might get it back before the end of the month..!!!! Skoda delivered me a VW Golf GTD to use while mine is being repaired
