Good to hear. I work in a motor spares and fit most bulbs for free but I am amazed at how many we get in with incorrectly fitted bulbs.

First thing to do is check the bulb is in correctly.

How did you pay. If credit card then you can claim it back from them.

Be no good for me as I don't have a photo licence. Are they asking for a copy of the licence or just access to the information. You can get a code from the DVLA so they can check the details. If any ask me to send a copy of the licence i would just go elsewhere as they don't need to see it. https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence

Spray a bit of wd40 around the exhaust hanger and slide a screwdriver in and prise it off the rubber. Can be stiff but should come out. As for exhaust sound ok but shop around but you should be able to get aftermarket std fit pipes. Or look around for a secondhand Miltek or something similar.

Sorry not been on for a few days. I was just curious as I have an 09 plate pfl TDI estate and the apart from the seats, steering wheel, etc the interior is the same as my 07 Elegance.

Just out of interest what is different about the interior.

If the DPF has been removed it should be an MOT fail now. Soon the test stations will have new equipment that will know if its been done and wont be reliant on a visual check. If you really want a 4x4 then look for an older 1.9pd 4x4.

Yes normally the same oil but the variable service schedule (circa 20k) is more for people who do big mileage. When I used to run company cars I ran 4 Skoda's and did around 50k a year so it had a service twice a year. So yes you could run it longer but for what an oil change cost's if you do it yourself it's just not worth it. I can get Millers C3 5w30 which is up to spec and a decent filter for under £30 and it's a 20 min job.

For the sake of £30 for good quality oil and a filter then yes do it every year.

Well I can confirm it can be done from the top but a real pain in the backside.

Hi everyone. So I had a major oil leak this week and thought it was the oil cooler so I removed the oil filter housing and cleaned everything down and refitted with a new cooler. But on starting it I found the actual leak. It's the feed pipe from filter housing to turbo. Anyone know if you can get to the feed pipe at the turbo end from the top of the engine bay or do I need to go from underneath.

Your assumption IMO is correct about winter wheels. For years now I have always had a set of winter wheels and summer wheels. My current winter wheels are a set of Mercedes Borbet 16 inch alloys that have winter tyres fitted. I picked them up last summer for a bargain £82 off ebay. They did great last winter and will see me through this winter as well. They do have a few scuffs and a bit of kerb rash on them but they look ok and I am not worried if I damage them further in bad conditions.

Shocks are a wear and tear item so it's more likely they are worn and old not faulty. Maybe get a second opinion but as we don't know the year and mileage it's hard to say.

You need to go on Landyzone for this kind of info really. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/

It might be worth looking at the tyres ref the rumbling noise. It has in the past been an issue with the way the tyres wear. Maybe try swapping wheels around front to rear or maybe another set of wheels if you could borrow a set. Might be way off but worth a look.

I have not put any on an SD card yet and only got a couple of mp3 cd's in at the moment as just not got around to it but I'm sure when I had my last one I just copied folders over. Just remember that although the std boot changer had 6 disc's it will only play normal cd's where the Bolero will take 6 disc's with mp3 files. So depending on the size of your files you should get 70-80 albums.

I have had company cars for a long time until I was recently made redundant and they all had steering wheel controls. But to be honest I don't really miss them and with the Bolero being touch screen is so easy to use.

Depend where they are. I work in a Motor factors and being in a big city we can normally gat parts out to a garage within an hour of them ordering parts. If we don't have it then we pull from our warehouse which will add another hour as long as it is stocked. LUK or Sachs are what we normally supply.

No I don't have the steering wheel controls. I fitted the aerial adaptor off ebay and reception is now good and upto now no issues with the battery. The only downside being the display for reverse sensors but it still beeps so not really a problem.

There are too many problem doing this due to having to notify DVLA and proof of work done properly and most of all trying to sort the insurance out. It would esy cheaper and easier to just buy a 2.0.

That is true but if you go for the same 45mm offset it wont. An inch wider should be no problem.

Thanks for the info I was just looking at options if the engine is toast. The garage are picking it up this morning so will see what they say later. I would do myself but wrong time of year to be doing it on the drive for me and needs to be done a bit quick than I have free at the moment. Hopefully will just be able to get the turbo reconditioned and everything else cleaned out. Might just look for a clean second hand exhaust though.lol

Spacers can cause the bearing to wear out quicker due putting more pressure on them by moving the centre line of the wheel. I wanted to fill the arches a bit so fitted bigger wheels and an offset to suit.
