  1. That was helpful! I have one on too and I think it could be a connection issue. It came on not long after I changed the battery. I do not know if this is relative.
  2. Only in the US would you have a disclaimer like this saying it is only for off road use!
  3. something wrong here, should never stall,you should never hear the gears or feel the change 99% of the time, good to hear that I am not the only one with a slightly jerky drop from 3 to 2 though.
  4. Hi Guys, Would this stuff be any good? I thought I would go for paint and laquer. http://www.carpaintwizard.co.uk/skoda_touch_up_paint.html
  5. I dont know you but I dont like you, I have a anthracite elegance estate 2006 and I REALLY want one of these, not enough wonga at the moment. Enjoy!
  6. Because, they are the biggest official dealer in Madrid, I thought I was doing the right thing when I had an accident and took it to them in April, I am still fighting with them over the quality of work, they have not repaired my car to anywhere near an acceptable standard, they are sloppy (forgot to put the cover under the engine back on) did not check the transmission properly etc, and let me drive away in a car that was potentially dangerous with my 3yr old (my real pride and joy)in the back whilst smiling, my lawyer is currently issuing summons with the Guadia Civil for endangerment of life, it is not a nice story and could fill a book. You live and learn.
  7. The fact that it is depressed living somewhere you can only drive at less than 60?
  8. That looks like the lovechild of a threesome between an A4, octavia and golf.
  9. Thanks guys, it was not maxidot, I gave it back to them and they will have to work it out.
  10. Hi Guys, Got a Fabia as a courtesy car, while they **** around with my Octavia. I was claening the dispaly and seem to have turned of the display betweeen the speedo and rev counter, I dont really care either way as I hate the dealership and hope the service departments all die slow painful deaths but can anyone tell me how to turn it back on? cheers.
  11. removed in order not to conflict with legal case
  12. Hello All, Just got a call from my insurance agent, they said that the ball joint was worn so much that the impact just finished the job and they are not going to pay for something that was just about to fail anyway. anyone know how much ball joints cost? I may have to get this fixed and fight them about it later.
  13. 3 weeks in the garage now and the assesor refusing to pay for the new tie rod and bits and pieces, he says it is not connected with the accident on that wheel and that it was an excisting problem, *****, I have arranged for him to make another visit when I am free from work and make an unexpected appearence to meet him. If i dont post for a while you will know why.
  14. Always had Energy Savers on mine and been very impressed
  15. If you want to be completly invisible to plod get a anthracite elegance estate with normal wheels and a baby seat, they cant even see it!
