Re breathalysers. As I have a motorhome I follow forums regarding these . It has been mentioned many times there is no need to carry them. Early on the police did not seem to have been told they were no longer required. It seems only one make was allowed and as above they are now out of date and no longer available. That said many ferry company still try and persuade yo to buy one on the ferry, prob because they have thousands to try and shift.

Mine's having a "Product Upgrade" Today!
DaiUK replied to DJD66's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I asked again if they'd do the satnav update, but got same answer, "you do that yourself" I haven't done mine from new, put off by the owners on here saying they had difficulty! As long as you are using Windows 8 or above you will have no problem, just make a back up and let windows unpack it. I dug out my laptop rather than muck about with my iMac, also most of the peeps having issues were using The recommended Zip 7.. -
Thanks. Thinking I need to read the manual again.

Ok, see if anybody can let me know why the following happened, I can't work it out.. Unlocked the car (estate) to let the dog in. Note the rear seats were folded so a cage would fit. Dog was wet so lent in to spread a towel over the bedding and the two near side windows opened halfway, I did not notice at first but both the off side windows also opened slightly! I did have the key fob in my hand and think I could of caught one of the buttons. Any ideas?

Whilst I am bit****g I must also mention the boot window and how quickly it attracts dirt (Estate/Combi). 5 minutes after washing the car I cannot see a thing out of the back. The glass must have been designed by Dyson. I have spent many a year driving vans with no back windows so cant see what the fuss is all about, OK it's a nice to have one but it's not needed, truth be known if mine has been knocked it may take days before I notice as the door mirrors are perfectly OK. All estates I have owned have been no worse than the one I have now for attracting dirt on the rear screen.

Thanks for all your reply's. Shame the speed options can't be altered within the car settings, I can't see why it can't be as simple as on or off at any speed.

After finding out I had this on my car ( thanks to this site) I tried it out, first short trip, worked great on the way there, but nothing on the way home (same roads), or since.. Until yesterday. Reading other posts believe it may be controlled by speed, as well as light. If this is the case what speed does it kick in at? I have use mostly local roads ( dark & winding) where it would of been ideal, last night traveling back from Southampton mainly on A roads it suddenly kicked in and worked pefectly after that.

Octavia III 4x4 2.0 150 MPG fuel economy
DaiUK replied to octsco's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I use mine mine mainly for work, short stop/start journeys. I struggle to get over 41mpg. -
I saw a universal one on EBay for less than £7.00 inc P&P. Thought it was worth a punt. It fits where it touches, stop most dog hairs, ideal for carting garden rubbish. It'll do me..

I had this on my Amundsen last week, only the screen was black, thought it was turned off. Pulled over switched ignition off/on and all been ok since. I also had the Maxidot do the same a few weeks before, switching on off did not cure it, until I left it parked for a while, again been OK since.

It only took 37mins for me to download .... Yet to do the update.

Map update only for me, not 100% sure what Mirrorlink is but think I can live without it. If a firmware up date ever came out so speed.. sorry safety cams could be added I will not be happy.

Thanks, now got to wait until dark to try it out.
