  1. Already exist, we did suggest that to the owner. At that price there is a market. Car passed the MOT today, but we noticed the other headlight side/DLR light flickering. Thanks, AG Falco
  2. Had a Kia Ceed in on Tuesday that failed it's MOT on a front side / DLR bulb not working. The bulb is LED and is part of the headlamp assembly unit only. Front bumper off to replace the unit. They were quoted £725.00 to change it. 😮 The unit was over £600 to buy only. Thanks, AG Falco
  3. You can also get sided tyres, as well as LHD/RHD, symmetrical, asymmetrical and directional types. Thanks, AG Falco
  4. Yes correct. If they are done up the corresponding icon has a seat belt strap diagonally across it. Thanks, AG Falco
  5. I have had front side light bulbs listed at 1 Hour labour to change one. Some people have had fun with Fabia III headlight bulbs as well. Everything is becoming harder if you ask me. Thanks, AG Falco
  6. Swap the rears to the front but diagonally. Goodyear Eff Grip Perf 2 might only be in a 'V' speed rating which is faster than your 'H' tyres. In your size they are B Fuel Efficiency. A wet grip and 69 DB for noise. They are also listed as quieter than your Bridgestones. You can still get Goodyear Eff Grip Perf in an 'H' though. In your size they are C Fuel Efficiency. A wet grip and 68 DB for noise. Thanks AG Falco
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code Speed rating[edit] The speed symbol is made up of a single letter or an A with one numeral. It indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a load corresponding to its Load Index.[18] The testing method consists of pressing the tire against a large diameter metal drum to reflect its appropriate load, and run at ever increasing speeds in 10 km/h (6.2 mph) steps in 10 minute increments until the tire's required speed has been met.[20] Thanks, AG Falco
  8. If you are going to use them all year round then a set of All Season tyres with the TPMSS ( three Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol ) could be good. Thanks AG Falco
  9. If you put the Reg in here it will show ( not all ) any outstanding ones:- https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/?_ga=2.210664592.467493691.1598728257-1053247475.1598728257 Thanks AG Falco
  10. 860's now. Thanks AG Falco
  11. What car presently sold new has 205 55 15 tyres on it? A1? Yes but if you look at Mytyres they only have 23 choices in that size. This includes Winter, All Season and Summer tyre. You find that on a tyre size with little choice the prices are higher than on a more common size. https://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=110&cart_id=moZ0bur39YOXKZFL.110.841440332&Cookie=sea_rd_uk_Google_Search&sowigan=So&Breite=205&Quer=55&Felge=15&Speed=&kategorie=6&Marke=&ranzahl=4&search_tool=standard&rsmFahrzeugart=ALL&suchen=Search+for+tyres If you try a common size you can have a choice of over 750 tyres at cheaper prices. 205 55 15 Uniroyal Rainsport 5 are £76.99 supplied only. 205 55 16 Uniroyal Rainsport 5 are £52.19 supplied only. Thanks, AG Falco
  12. Not much choice on tyres in 205 55 15. 😒 Old size now. Thanks, AG Falco
  13. If you set the temperature control knob to hot/red do you get hot air? Thanks, AG Falco
  14. Is the battery fully charged? Thanks, AG Falco
  15. You can also look yourself on ERWIN. https://erwin.skoda-auto.cz/erwin/showHome.do Thanks, AG Falco
  16. You can also put the key in the ignition switch and turn until the ignition lights come on. This stops the alarm sounding. You don't have to start the engine. Thanks, AG Falco
  17. Ok, Car is 38 months old and, out of warranty, with 37500 miles done, so was due its fourth fixed service. First three done by Meadens Skoda in Brockenhurst in Hampshire and all good there. I have owned it from new and I did the fourth service yesterday:- 4 litres of oil and new filter. Filter at the front of the engine from below, twist off/on. Oil drain plug is 19mm at back of engine. Spark plugs required at 40k miles so did them as well. They were a good colour but wanted doing. You need to remove the four coil packs carefully to get to the spark plugs. Only pull straight out and not at an angle. To change the spark plugs you need to remove the air filter housing, with the air filter due at 60k miles. I changed the air filter as well, perhaps this didn't need doing, as it was fairly clean with only one leaf inside the housing. Front tyres at 5 mm but changed for new ones at 27k miles, with original rear tyres down to 4 mm. Tyres rotated. Front brake pads at 10 mm and rear pads at 8mm, with all brakes stripped, cleaned and regreased. All disk faces are clean, flat and have no rust spots/patches high points. All are original brake parts. Bosch filters, NGK spark plugs and tradeTec oil came to less than £80.00 with 1 litre oil spare. The car wanted 0.5 litre of oil before the first service but has not consumed any oil since. Both service and inspection warning messages reset. Scanned car and no faults stored. All good, can't complain. I have had nothing go wrong with the car so far. Still like the car and as usual for me I will keep for a long time. Thanks AG Falco
