  1. It's gone live (not sure when) with a starting price of £26,775. https://cc.skoda-auto.com/gbr/en-GB/ First Edition SE Technology SE L SportLine Hatch and Estate No brochure showing yet. Available to order April 10th
  2. All a bit 'radio silence' MK3 FL was announced and open almost the same day. Just an idea on UK spec and pricing would be nice.
  3. Need to see the details but probably replace my 67 MkIII FL. Hopefully they'll be out in the coming weeks.
  4. Since late last year I've noticed a knocking coming from the rear-left of the car when cold or when going over uneven roads, but not potholes, This week I've finally had the combination of time and weather to have a proper look on the ramps. All the suspension parts are tight with no bushing loose/work and all shields tight. Giving the rear box a thumping, I've found that if there is lateral movement the pipe hits the down stand for the plastic tray. Up or down and it's silence. Relief that I've found it as it was driving me nuts. I'm thinking of replacing the rubber hanging mounts to see if that resolves it. Are there any after market mounts that are better than the OEM. Looked at the Febi ones but curious if that are better before I did out the lube?
  5. Hi Pab567 Anything new for: Hardware version - 5Q003874C Software Version - 0478 Thank you in advance.
  6. Hope you didn't trade in the Airskinz G-AWNA tag too?
  7. A long piece of thin wire to clear the blockage and slowly run water to flush it out.
  8. Not sure about that. In court... Defence "Can the prosecution please explain how you determine my client was exceeding the limit?" Prosecution "By the GPS on their dashcam". D "Is that a calibrated and approved detection method, validated by the Home Office and ACPO?" P "Errrrr" Magistrate "Case dismissed". OK, dangerous/careless driving is a different matter, but I cannot find any legal precedent for the UK for speeding, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. IANAL so speed at your own risk.
  9. Just had 4 advisories on all my Dunlops fit cracks. 3 years old and 11000 miles. 4 new Sport Pilot 4 ordered for next week.
  10. Not cheap, but I have a Blackvue DR750S=2CH with 128GB of micro SD storage. Hardwired in with powermagic and cloud connectivity through a mifi. Both are on voltage drop detectors so they stay operational for a as long as possible without draining the battery too far. The cable is fed through the headlining and then follows the cable trunking into the tailgate to keep everything tidy.
  11. @SashaGrace As I have the same wireless Carplay mode as you, have had any problems with autoplay? Some times it connects and the trace plays exactly from where it starts, another time connects but then play 1 second before pausing. Firmware is the latest as per the methodology. Not the end of the world but is it a bug or a 'feature'...
  12. Hopefully a very quick yes/no question. I'm going to remove the OEM Amundsen screen, climate controls and USB/Aux panel to fit wireless charger and wireless CarPlay. If I disconnect the screen and when finished, reconnect it, will CP kick in. On my MKII, the canbus would recognise the original unit and carry on as normal. Is it the same for a MKIII, MY18. Thanks.
  13. @SashaGrace Parts on order, hopefully Aliexpress will be a bit quicker than 40 days but we'll see. I may tap you up for tips when the time comes. In the meantime, where did you power the USB box from? Thanks
  14. Completed this evening. Took about 20 minutes. Would have take 15 But I picked up wrong spanners. A little dab of copper grease on the balls should keep any corrosion away.
