Liking the black chrome, how much did it set you back?

I've never really looked in detail at the DRLs, but would assume that peak luminous intensity will be on axis and therefore when you bend down in front of the car they will be brighter. Both posts were helpful, just those in the middle less so ;-)

I'm keeping out of this one. Very difficult to show intensity and colours in photographs.

I think silver1011 was talking about poorly fitted DRLs not being the same 'brightness' when viewed head on i.e. the left one is less 'bright' than the right or vice versa. I think retro fitted ones tend to look poor and very chavvy, but those ones above don't look too bad, but perhaps they could do with being further out from the centre like on the FL, but you can't due to the fogs.

But you won't get 550 miles out of the diesel around town which is the 250 - 300 that Im gouki quoted. I would go for the petrol.

Mine did this. I took it in to the dealer who fitted a new unit under warranty. Added bonus was that I got the latest firmware that speeded up the sd card reading.

Press and hold the up / down button on the end of the stalk until the menu pops up. You then use the same button to scroll and the reset button to select.

Does your Scout have the AFS II xenon headlights? Maybe the VRS has the older xenons that don't have the cornering feature and so the self check on start up is not so obvious?

Try twisting the nozzle round a bit. I find holding the the handle at roughly the ten o'clock position and not fully inserting the nozzle works.

Mine did this and it was replaced under warranty as the garage said it was faulty. Bonus was that I got the latest Bolero that read the SD reasonably quickly rather than having to wait minutes for it to read it.

I am on my second car from Motorline, and have never had a problem with them. Very efficieint and always the cheapest Skoda dealer for servicing, but perhaps it goes to show their service is not consistent.

Yep, use them for my current octavia and the previous fabia. Very good service and always the cheapest local main dealer for servicing.

My Bolero has a mind of it's own! It has turned itself on when the car is locked and also randomly changes to media from radio when I'm driving along. Been in to the dealer today who say it is faulty and will order another bolero in if they can. They seem to think the bolero is being replaced with a new unit and hence they may not be able to get one. Perhaps your bolero is faulty rather than the steering wheel controls?

Surely you have the Bolero head unit if it is brand new? This has an integral cd multi changer and not a separate one in the boot - try pressing the eject button on the top right! You should push the dealer for a manual. Where did you buy the car?. Hope you enjoy it.

If I remember correctly this is normal. In certain scenarios the car will not rev beyond a certain limit even with the throttle to the floor. I'm sure mine does this when stationary. Hopefully someone will be along soon who knows the exact details!
