  1. Literally just a crack to break the seal. you will hear a whoosh of air. It was on bloody tight though. Then just nip it up again.
  2. I had this problem with my car recently. The sensor nut was tight so I loosened it off and let a burst of air escape and then re tightened it and all has been well since. No more petrol smells.
  3. Getting older has it's perks...
  4. £218 fully comp, NCB protected. 24 years NCB. i'm in my 50's
  5. There seems to be quite a difference between what people have paid for their Goodyear Asymmetric 3 tyres. I paid £352 for all four fitted in January this year. Wheels are 225/40/18
  6. I did post a with my earlier biker comment because I didn't want to offend. We are in agreement about most things though. I think the deletion of the wide angle section of the door mirror is down to Skoda's continued cost cutting exercise. After driving the wife's VW they are very handy in the car park and I agree losing them on the Octavia was/is a bad idea.
  7. How on earth can me agreeing with your original post by also stating that "I always look over my shoulder before over taking" be argumentative and boastful about how good I am? I'm certainly no better than the next driver or rider. Just plain Mr average. Maybe it's because you have issues with bikers? Before you ask, no , I'm not one of those riders that has no regard for other road users. This statement makes it all perfectly clear...
  8. Please read the post again. There is no mention of any argument?
  9. Don't be too hard on yourself... us bikers make the better drivers anyway
  10. I always look over my shoulder before over taking. Being a biker, this is how I was taught to ride (called a life saver move) and now it's the natural thing to do on, or in any vehicle
  11. Just had a major service on my 4 and a half year old Vrs. This included a change of plugs. Mileage was 29800... £265 all in...
  12. Just for comparison the six speed manual vRS does 86 mph at 3K in top
  13. I use my motorcycle for my acceleration fix. 0-100 mph in 6.1 seconds is more than fast enough for me...
  14. Try the Avon ZV7's You'll save yourself £30 for a pair over the Goodyears F1's although I am a fan of the F1's since fitting them.
  15. Comprehensive... meaning the service book has two stamps in it along with addition printed paperwork with a description of work completed. Not to be confused with an online service record with which most owners don't have the right to access nowadays. Data protection... blah blah... Its been almost three weeks since I've opened the bonnet and noticed the cover broken. I feel the garage will just fob me off and deny any responsibility. My word against theirs...
