GavtheGat replied to Dr Zoidberg's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Cant recommend Nightbreakers enough, quality bulb. Hopefully there do a H15 equivalent. Have osram cool blue 501's as rear number plate bulbs -

Cider, have you tried ringing around some garages to see what they've sitting in the show room and not on the dealer network webpages and not yet advertised? I know Ipswich had a white 1.6 hatch and I was in Cambridge and they had a black hatch recently. A dealer may have a estate available? -
Traffic Updates (no more?!)
GavtheGat replied to Griffalo's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Had no issues with mine loading Traffic Reports and subsequently displaying them on the Nav screen. Been quite accurate also -
Had a similar buzz develop in mine also, after reading this thread I gave my sunglass a knock and cured the issue!

Give you any clue on how the tell the difference on the suspension set ups? Pedal box has made a hell of a difference, the car feels like it has some go about it now. Previously had a Mondeo ST TDCI and I liked the surge of torque it gave when you put your foot down, found the Octy lacking in that department but the box seems to have gone some way to compensate -

Cool be interested to see how those ones fair. The H15s I have fitted are fine as DRL's, just naff as high beams! -

Well having done a few night shifts now coming back in the dark I can confirm the H15s are better as DRLs than high beams! The nightbreakers are far brighter, however theres a good chance because there the 7500k variant and not the 5000k alot of the usable light gets lost. -
Cant justify the cost of a extra set of rims and tyres especially since I've never had any previous issues in winter on standard rubber. If there's a dusting of snow just ring work and say you cant get off the drive

My Rapid Sport. Delivery day mini review.
GavtheGat replied to Rednaxela's topic in Skoda Rapid & Spaceback (2012 > )
Just bought (subject to finance) my missus a Candy Rapid Sport. Had enough of her making excuses to take my Octavia! Dealer ordered car so came with reverse sensors and steel spare. -

Well worth the wait lads, your be happy with the cars. Treated the missus today and put another dent in my pocket with purchasing her a Rapid sport. Just couldn't have her making excuses to drive MY Black Edition any more! -

Expensive indeed, but my missus c max has seen better days! Giving my car a dig out tomorrow, still want me to check if you can get a spare in the boot. Back on the BE subject my dealer stated they had sold there allocation but there weren't many left available in the network.
