  1. Sure Llanigraham will be along to shoot us all down as usual on this, but my experience (and I've been towing for over 30 years without incident, including causing incidents ) has been positive n no issues regular up n down the M6, usually stay between 50 and 60, very careful about load balancing and it is all fine, even with coaches zipping past.... so Id say look at the towing capacity of the yeti and if you can, test tow something.
  2. Thanks Just driven a few miles and it's cleared but still saying 2500 miles range - not worried tho.
  3. Hi All After 2500 miles my mfd was telling me I had 2500 miles range left on ad-blue so thought it a good opportunity to top up. Used a 10 litre bottle and hose which worked great, but only took 2 to 3 litres guessing from amount missing from bottle. Switched ignition on afterwards, waited for prescribed 30 seconds and restarted engine. It's still saying range of 2500 and a min of 0.75 gal and max of 0.75 gal. Any ideas? Should the range not have gone back up? Thanks
  4. Not on the yeti but I know a Peugeot partner that had this problem and was dripping on the dashboard to the extent it caused the dash circuits to fail.
  5. It would have left two mounting threaded holes which could have been blanked off. The new owner will get a good deal
  6. Always carry a spare. If I had a blow out on the motorway I wouldn't change an offside tyre without support of breakdown services / highways agency / police. Having had the unfortunate situation of a flat tyre in the middle of nowhere (North Yorks moors) with no phone signal, I always carry a spare nowadays.
  7. As a part of the deal with my new yeti, the dealers were to fit the mounting rivnuts and transplant the dog guard across. Apparently this was too hard so they supplied and fitted a complete dog guard in my new yeti - makes me wonder if a fitting kit alone is available? (Apart from nipping down the local motor factors and buying 4 rivnuts)
  8. Backwards so could drive out
  9. Was in a car park with spaces n lots of room so had to try it, slotting into a space rather than parralel parking....worked great, was weird tho' Probably won't use the function much but can see how useful it will be in certain situations - believe it can be used to get out if a space! But I could be wrong
  10. Picked my new Yeti up yesterday Very happy bunny
  11. Speed limits are exactly that - a maximum speed limit. There is no minimum so long as you are making due progress. I keep it simple, I drive at what my speedo says. So in a 50 I do 50, going by the speedo. I know it's about 3% out but this allows for a margin of error. As for people behind me who have issues with me doing 48 in a 50, that's their problem! And really, are those extra few seconds you save really worth the stress and all it brings?
  12. Sorry , your right it's a 150bhp Nursing one of my dogs whose had spinal surgery and has post op complications so not really concentrating.
  13. 2.0 140bhp manual box Arrived at dealers last night, just got to arrange collection
  14. 2013 2.0 140bhp SE with added bits like sunroof detachable towbar spare wheel dog guard..... Only 57k miles
  15. Hi So many threads on here, all with problems - which is fair enough, but gives a biased view of a great car. I get in mine and drive it! I have it serviced at correct intervals, I check the fluids in between (oil and coolant never drops) and it just works, damned well and efficiently. I'm trading it in for a new 140 2.0 diesel L&K this week and hope my new one is as good as my old one. So please feel free to say how good your SM has been. And before a certain sarcastic sanctimonious self righteous persons comes out with his usual comments, don't bother, your on my ignore list!
  16. Not having the fix done Had the letters, which went straight on the fire. Lookers Skoda can do as they wish with it, once I part ex it for my new Yeti
  17. Ordered a L&K with KESSY, towbar and spare wheel in petrol blue Ordered 04th September 2016 Advised at dockside UK 14th November 2016 On transport to dealers this week Paperwork all done and complete so ready to go (fingers crossed)
  18. Where is this ignore button?
  19. Rather than raising rails you could put one of these between sides and hang bags off it http://www.milenco.com/products/cargo-bars
  20. I've not but have seen this. http://www.caranex.com/ Just be aware of flat batteries if the boot lid is up and interior light on for an extended period.
  21. In my current 2013 Yeti which has neither Bluetooth, satnav or phone my solution is Mobile phone with unlimited data streaming radio and calls to a Jabra hands free kit that clips onto sun visor This broadcasts an FM signal to the car stereo. Works great, is portable between cars and simple solution.
  22. Mines being built as we speak (week43) so fingers crossed for a November delivery
  23. Assuming the car you’ve bought was purchased after October 2015, if it goes wrong within the first 30 days of ownership, you can simply reject it out of hand for a full refund. If a fault develops after those 30 days but within the first six months, the dealer gets one chance to fix it. If they fail to do this, you’re entitled to a full refund, or a partial refund after the use you’ve had of the car has been taken into account.

  24. Can I ask, did you do the update on a supplied sd card or one you supplied yourself. Looking forward to getting my new yeti and just looking at things I need to do when I get it.
