  1. DTUK Pedalbox transformed the feel of my 150 tdi. Nuff said.
  2. Having read about it, I was aware that the Bilt Hamber product did not produce as much foam. However, it produced a surprising amount and that may well have been my fault having the setting on the dispenser too high being as it was the first time I had used it. I will try it again when I next wash the car and turn down the setting. Perhaps it was simply a matter of too much foam and not enough water. Time will tell. Thank you both for your help and for the alternative options provided.
  3. I am looking to speed up the cleaning of the black honey monster and have bought a new pressure washer for this and other tasks. What have you all found to be the best Snowfoam? Has anyone tried the Karcher foam? Currently, I am using Bilt Hamber which has proved to be a little disappointing but this may be due to the experience/Incompetence of the operator. Your usual kind help and advice will be appreciated.
  4. There is a way @X man Switch off the engine. Turn the ignition back on. Put your foot on the brake pedal. Press the auto handbrake button down and the parking brake will release. I am also fortunate enough to have a garage for my car. I do this every time I leave it in order to avoid very problem about which other forum members complain.
  5. Went to the dealer who fitted a new battery for £4. I am guessing but I suspect the car is programmed to recommend the battery be replaced approximately every two years, regardless of whether it is worn out or not. Now the battery has been replaced the other two have miraculously recovered and there is no indication that another new battery is needed. Regardless, the problem is addressed and many thanks to those on the forum who offered advice.
  6. Sorry, in my previous note I meant battery replacement, not key replacement. However, the plot thickens. The car handbook advises the tests for the key battery is the red light on the fob which should operate if the battery is okay and it suggests if the fob does not operate beyond a distance of 3 metres the battery is worn. These tests were passed with flying colour. The light on the fob flashes as it should and I tested operation from a distance of at least 30 metres. It was fine. I wonder if this is a reminder which comes up every two years regardless of the battery condition. I will make enquiries. Further information to follow.
  7. @adamjackdrew, it does not have Kessy. I appreciate batteries wear with time but tell that to the Bora, or indeed my Mazda 6 which I owned for 10 years. That did not need a key replacement either. I will contact my dealer today but would really like them to offer a cogent explanation for this. I will feed back anything I receive which is useful.
  8. Thank you for the advice @Gizmobut would this apply to three batteries in three different keys, two of which have been little used or not used at all? My wife has a VW Bora which is 16 years old. We have owned it for 14 of those years and have never replaced either of the key batteries. I know technology has moved on and is more complex but.....????
  9. I have a two year old Sel diesel, 23,000 miles. Went to start the car yesterday and an instruction appeared on the dash telling me to replace the key battery. Only problem was that the same instruction appeared for all three keys so I am sure this must be incorrect. One of the keys I have never used so it hardly seems like wear and tear. There appear to be no other symptoms and the car seems to run fine, at the moment. Has anyone had a similar problem and found the solution? Thank you.
  10. I specifically asked for my PDI sheet when I became aware of the suspension block problem.
  11. @Sagalout I have my PDI checklist dated 8/9/2016. It is on there and ticked off as completed. Well it was - on one side only.
  12. Jars: I wrote to Skoda UK to highlight the dangers that this problem can cause as suggested by another member on the forum and also to suggest a system of working to prevent recurrences which they could pass down to their dealers as a procedure to be followed during PDI. Seems they were not impressed.
  13. Xman: The o/s light was simply too high. I drive a lot down country lanes in the dark. It was easy to tell. As for the transport blocks I wrote to the Skoda MD suggesting a possible solution. No response. That was two years ago. The problem remains. ‘ Nuff said,
