Not necessary if you've given it to me before but, let me know your coming at least. Tuesday 8th December (for obvious reasons its not the 1stof December) 7pm onwards but, some do rock up early. The place does a range of cheap'n'cheerful food & drinks, its not a dive but, don't expect a classy joint either what is does have is some quick, interesting sections of road & a large carpark. All Skoda & Non-Skoda drivers welcome, partners & children welcome although, being a Car Club it may not be very interesting for them.

Congratulations Andy, just make sure you get the Vaq Diff serviced, should be done at 3 years old. Brake fluid should have been done at its 3rd birthday as well

Rims protection
Good way, nothing I've seen are better but, a few equal it. Truth be told, avoiding kerbs is the only way to protect your alloys when you've got so little tyre wall

Dimensions of reverse camera
Two options really, modify the opening or buy the correct size camera unfortunately, there's a lot less functionality on the correct sized camera. Best ask the guru really @SashaGrace

Front lower bumper replacement??
The top grill is bonded into place therefore, to replace it you take the entire bumper off, I can't see any reason why the lower grill would be any different. Sorry I know thats not what you wanted to hear

Lane assist
If you have the option on the multifunction steering wheel buttons & it doesn't work, you'd have an error message. As a new camera requires calibration, a dealer is really the best choice. True a 2nd hand camera could be sourced, fitted & possibly calibrated by a friendly windscreen fitter but, at 60/65% of the cost for a 2nd hand item๐ค Retro fitting would be stupidly expensive for what you get, other than motorways I just don't bother using mine

ocatavia vrs diesel re-map 0-60 times verses stock etc
Errr not really You can see a 8 to 12% increase in bhp with the same car in higher gears. Run a car in 3rd then run the same car, same day in 5th & you'll see a more powerful figure. Always when looking at a dyno printout check the mph, its a tell tale sign.

ocatavia vrs diesel re-map 0-60 times verses stock etc
Its not notable different https://www.fuelly.com/car/skoda/octavia/2017/themanwithnoaim/656953 Check for yourself remap was done end of Feb2000

Warranty, the tuningbox went on a 1 month old car, the revo remap went on the same car at 3 years old Its not rocket salad๐

ocatavia vrs diesel re-map 0-60 times verses stock etc
He knows exactly why the DTUK box doesn't work & yes I've seen the entire email trail showing DSD switched the test vehicle but, its great TV Really gotta be careful posting Secondary information without checking its full validity. Not a diesel but, my dtuk tuningbox ran my vRS at 291bhp, since having a Revo Stage 1 remap it runs 302bhp. An improvement but, not as much as I'd hoped for 50% more than the cost of the tuningbox, true the AFR was considerable different but, the car sailed through its pre-map installation tests.

@bouff34 have you tried a service centre instead, they have no Skoda BS to dish out, they just do the work & I've found them to be on the customer's side a lot more than the dealers

Servicing 1.4tsi for the first time since i bought this car
Brake fluid is 1st changed at 3 years old then every 2 years thereafter Sounds like its on variable service intervals as fixed servicing is every 9,300 miles. The car will tell you when it needs servicing
