I thought the clutch was a sealed unit, so how did the water get in. BTW, know very little about anything underneath.

thanks for that, a few within 200 miles but some not been on the site for a couple of years and the others seem to be Octavia owners

Is there anyone proficient with the above and able to re-code the car (Mk 3 L&K) so the traffic alerts work again and so the boot button can be used to close it. Obviously I am prepared to pay for your time and trouble.

MP3 files have metadata and the player reads that and not neccesarily the filename etc. Check the properties/details on the music files on the computer.

Is there anyone near newcastle upon tyne that can do the fix for a reasonable fee

There is a hinging system under the floor by the back seat that is/was listed on the foreign car part site everyone uses (cant remember its name)

I have read this thread, but to be honest I am completelty lost about all this. So, is there anyone in the North East of england (around Newcastle upon Tyne ) that I can visit and will assess the situation for me and if possible make the relevant adjustments for a reasonable cost as I find TMC valuable when travelling long distances.

DOH !!! I knew that, honest Gov. Thanks folks, I am blaming my foolishness on lack o sleep and alcohol.

Mine had this problem a few years ago. Followed the instructions for removing the handle and by the use of some boiling water in a shallow bowl slowly bent the plastic hook bit back to its original position and not had any problem since then. No adjusting of anything else in the lock/handle mechanism

I just realised that auto-hold has stopped working in my Automatic. I press the brake and the car stops and engine cuts out as start/stop kicks in but no green light on the dashboard and if I lift my foot off the brake the engine starts and the car moves. I have turned the ignition off and back on but still not functioning. Any suggestions as I cant see an obvious button in the settings for turning it on and off. I can do a factory reset if that is likely to work

Once I find time, I will google why it doesn't work, used to work great on my ancient VW

seems that no one knows.

It seems amazing that you have to code a battery into the car and pay a dealer for it. It will be coding tyres next. Crazy

I emphasise that I have not flattened the battery but over the weekend I was running a camping fridge off the cigarette lighter in the boot when driving, and when I stopped I would unlug it to prevent the battery going flat. I have a gizmo that in my previous car would cut the power to the device when the battery level got too low, so no flat battery. It doesn't seem to work in this car, but I was wondering if the car already has such a device connected into the system to prevent such an occurrence.

the glow plug in cylinder 1 just failed on me :( Has been fixed by dealer the next day for £64, so happy with that
