See link below, part four. https://batteryworld.varta-automotive.com/en-gb/standard-flooded-battery-start-stop Had one come in at work where eventually, the non stop start battery that the customer had fitted, could not take the higher voltages from the car, that it cracked open and caught fire. Thanks, AG Falco

It might be the broken end of a hose clip bolt like this:- But I don't think Skoda use them? Thanks, AG Falco

What I do with all of my cars is to have a full sized wheel and tyre in the boot that is exactly the same as the wheels / tyres on the car. Then when I need two new tyres I will buy one new tyre and use the spare as the second. I will then put the least worn tyre it the boot as the spare. When I next need two new tyres I will move the newer ( by date ) least worn tyre / wheel to the spare and change the older tyre on what was the spare wheel. So when I sold my last car at 13 years old and at 133,000 miles the spare tyre was only 5 years old. Thanks, AG Falco

Only if on the front! https://movingon.blog.gov.uk/2020/12/09/ban-on-tyres-over-10-years-old-for-heavy-vehicles-and-some-minibuses/#:~:text=From 1 February 2021 Construction,annual test and a prohibition. Thanks, AG Falco

No. You can only connect one devise at a time. Thanks, AG Falco

If I am going away to a different country I will download the map of where I am going before. I have then used my phone with local maps in hire cars without needing a data connection / costs. Don't forget that if you download the map just before you go it will also be ( almost ) up to date. I used to use a tablet with a 9 inch screen as well, before I had a car with Android Auto. This is all free. no sim card needed, no mobile data needed. Thanks, AG Falco

Have you an old phone you can leave in the car just as the satnav. The directions come through the car speakers. It works well for me, and you can update the maps easily. Thanks, AG Falco

Bolero system can have Android Auto where you can get satnav from your phone on the infotainment screen. Thanks, AG Falco

Same on my Fabia III. Tyre in the boot is the same size as the ones on the car but just on a steel not an alloy. I think the stickers are put on the spare wheel by default when the car can come with a different size tyre on the car. Thanks, AG Falco

What size tyre is on the rest of the wheels? It looks like you have a 205 45 16 tyre on a steel wheel as your spare. Is this the same size as the rest of your tyres? If it is then it's the same pressure as the rest. Tyre was made in late 2007. Thanks, AG Falco

That is on the old type of locking wheel bolts. Some of these also have a hole in the centre of the key. The newer type are described as a flower pattern type, something like this:- Thanks, AG Falco

Don't get alloy wheels stolen very often any more. I have removed them from both of my Skoda's and just fitted normal wheel bolts and normal caps. Lockers are made by Mcgard:- https://mcgard.com/automotive/wheel-locks/ Thanks, AG Falco

Is this the before adjustment sheet or the after adjustment sheet? If it is the after sheet it looks like you have a total toe of 1 degrees and 20 minutes positive. There are 60 minutes in 1 degree so 20 minutes is 1/3 of a degree. The Fabia III should be 0 degrees and 10 minutes positive but plus or minus 10 minutes. So yours is over 1 degree out. Thanks.

Thanks AG Falco.

You can also download maps off line with android auto and then you don't need any data connection. Thanks AG Falco

Engines run cooler in the colder weather. I have also noticed this by looking at the engine oil temperature. In the summer it went above 100 C but in the winter it would only reach the low 80's C. I now block off part of the front grill in the winter months. The engine now warms quicker and will get to the low 90's C. I do this to all three car's I run. Thanks, AG Falco

Or just open the bonnet, close and lock the car, then disconnect the battery. Thanks, AG Falco

Fabia III is 0 degrees 10 Minutes total positive, if that helps. Thanks, AG Falco

Thanks, AG Falco

I think it needs to be a Skoda SD card to work. Thanks, AG Falco

What car are you talking about? ( The Volvo? ) A Fabia III with the right equipment will display the map on the infotainment system and the sound from the cars speakers. Thanks, AG Falco

What settings are they showing in Degrees and Minutes on the sheet? Thanks, AG Falco

On one of my cars I swapped the tyres from a 155 80 13 tyre to a 175 70 13 tyre on the same 5J wide rim. The tread width on the 155 tyre was about 105 mm. The tread width on the 175 tyre was about 135 mm. So a 20 mm wider tyre but with an increase of 30 mm in tread width. Thanks, AG Falco

No. No rear wash or wipe required for an MOT. Something like this might work? :- https://www.amazon.co.uk/UNIVERSAL-WINDSCREEN-WASHER-SCREENWASH-CONNECTOR/dp/B07ZQNBV4L/ref=sr_1_6?crid=MB2PGQS0RM7O&keywords=car+washer+pipe+connector&qid=1645126602&sprefix=car+washer+pipe+%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-6 Thanks, AG Falco

Who would have both a Citigo and a Fabia III. 👈 Thanks, AG Falco
