  1. Can't seem to find Emerald in East Anglia. Are you able to provide a link to their website please? Anyone had any experience with AmD Tuning in Grays? They seem to offer mapping for the Yeti and maybe do other work.
  2. Thanks Ken, very helpful. Will take a look at Emerald. My steering wheel is already pretty knackered and need replacing, so was thinking of replacing it with a newer version with paddles.
  3. Hi all, I have been very quiet for a while on the Yeti front, as have been spending a lot of time dealing with my project Lotus in the interim. Now looking to revisit the Yeti project... I have a pre-FL 140 Elegance DSG in Steel Grey, which has been great. Currently the only mod is a new set of wheels. Now I am considering the following: remap flappy paddles on the steering wheel for DSG brake upgrade anti-roll bar upgrade I live in Greenwich, SE London. Question is whether there are any recommended tuning shops nearby or in the surrounding Kent or Essex area that would be able to do the work for me? Also welcome any thoughts/suggestions on my proposed upgrades. Thanks!
  4. I rather like the style of Alloy wheel Turini 7.5J x 18": http://eshop.skoda-auto.com/cz/en/b2c/rims/alloy-wheel-turini-75j-x-18-5e0071498--zg6x/0/1/10000/43/1001 Appreciate that 18" wheels might not be ideal, and not even sure if they would in fact fit anyway.
  5. Awesome, will take a look at that for sure, thanks!
  6. As mentioned in a previous post, I have just bought a pre-FL 140 Elegance in Steel Grey. Will be looking to modify my Yeti to personal preference and very much welcome any advice/tips along the way. My first question is this... I'll be looking to replace the standard Spitzberg wheels with a new set of alloys. I would like the new wheels to be (1) black/smoked/dark grey in colour, (2) official Skoda wheels ideally and (3) able to accommodate large brakes than standard. Anybody know any that I should take a look at? Leads me to my next question... What would be the simplest but most effective upgrade for the brakes? Presumably the larger discs from the 170 model would be a fairly straightforward fit. Any other good options? I think I saw a post about an owner who had fitted larger discs and callipers from an Audi TT. Will probably also be looking to add a decent anti-roll bar in due course, as well as a Shark remap. But will save those questions for another day! Thanks!
  7. Thanks, I am sure I will too! Should be a good replacement for my old Freelander and a nice partner to my VX220 Turbo. Main thing is that I can get my bikes on/in it and all my kit too.
  8. Have just put down a deposit on this Yeti after viewing the car and taking a test drive this morning: http://www.marshall.co.uk/used-car-centre/used-cars/6641446-skoda-yeti-elegance-tdi-cr-dsg/ Seems like a great car and Ridgeway Wantage have been good to deal with so far. Really excited to be a Yeti owner at last! Thanks to all for your help/advice. I am planning on making some mods to the car over time, so intend to be an active member on this site to get more information and advice on that. It sounds like Shark could be getting a visit from me in 2017...!
  9. This is the other link that wasn't working before: http://www.marshall.co.uk/skoda/used-cars/6641446-skoda-yeti-elegance-tdi-cr-dsg/ Seems to be a good price (closer to what I want to pay) but it doesn't seem to have too many of the optional toys fitted. Are there any toys missing that people think are "semi-essential"?
  10. Great! What do you think of that one? I feel that the light blue could look rather nice but I would need to see it in the flesh. Still leaning more towards white/silver/grey though. The brown leather is actually growing on me with time, and the rest of the spec of that car is great. Seems there are not many white/silver L&K models with black leather about that are diesel and DSG...
  11. https://www.caffyns.co.uk/skoda/used-car-details/used-skoda-yeti-20-tdi-cr-140bhp-4x4-laurin-station-wagon-aqua-blue-metallic-automatic-diesel-id_605996809.aspx Does this work?
  12. This one also ticks a lot of boxes for me, and is conveniently located to go see: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201610249084637?drivetrain=Four%20Wheel%20Drive&keywords=elegance&postcode=so239th&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&fuel-type=Diesel&price-from=12000&sort=price-asc&radius=1500&transmission=Automatic&advertising-location=at_cars&price-to=17000&make=SKODA&page=2 Seems to be a good price (closer to what I want to pay) but it doesn't seem to have too many of the optional toys fitted. Are there any toys missing that people think are "semi-essential"?
  13. That's strange, not sure why. Will try again here: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201611019342046?fuel-type=Diesel&advertising-location=at_cars&price-from=12000&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&sort=price-asc&make=SKODA&radius=1500&keywords=laurin&drivetrain=Four%20Wheel%20Drive&postcode=so239th&price-to=17000&transmission=Automatic&page=1
  14. Or this one? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201611019342046?price-from=12000&price-to=17000&transmission=Automatic&make=SKODA&radius=1500&postcode=so239th&drivetrain=Four%20Wheel%20Drive&keywords=laurin&sort=price-asc&advertising-location=at_cars&fuel-type=Diesel&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&page=1 Do people like the light blue colour?
  15. Any thoughts on this one I found: http://www.bickertonskoda.co.uk/used-cars/view/FP14BKE/yeti-5-dr Looks like my ideal spec, although not totally convinced by the brown/red leather. Would be interested in other views! Thanks
