So I have the dreaded inspection today, was a bit worried on a few items. I posted on here a while ago that I had a kerbed alloy. I thought it might be worse than the guidelines say. Then my 2 front tyres seemed a bit low on tread but still within the limit. Also last night I went on a final blast and just before I got home I had a check coolant light come on, oops. Anyway bloke got me out of bed and I was waiting for the ok, found xyz. Came to the door, no charge sir! Phew! -

Ive emailed the company I ordered it through and just waiting to hear back. Although reluctantly I think ive decided to get it collected and use my wifes car. Then in the hope that the lockdown eases and I can get my new one delivered Yeah ive asked VWFS this question but they havent replied yet. Only have a skeleton staff in i assume. -

Scotty, yeah I had a text from BCA yesterday to say i can either extend or get them to do a contactless inspection/collection. So now im in too minds as my new car (Volvo V60) is ready but the dealer is not delivering yet. Im in two minds, I can return it and have no car for an unknown period or extend the lease for 3 or 6 months in the hope the lockdown eases and the dealer can deliver. I must say with the quiet roads I have been enjoying the benefits of the 245! All within legal limits of course! So thinking do I eeek out as much fun as I can or say bye to it! Choices choices! I do have the use of my wifes car but going from a 245 to a Nissan note would be some change! -

Hi Scotty, did your car go back yet? With the current situation we all know that BCA are closed and not collecting. I got a bit confused as my car is due to go back mid may. I asked VWFS and they replied saying I could have an informal 3 month extension but on their website it said 6 months. I replied and they said they are now offering 6 month extensions. That raises other questions such as if I agree to 6 and then things improve and the lockdown eases, am I still committed to 6 months etc. I have another car ive ordered which is ready but of course cant be delivered (Non skoda) -

Yeah I remember this well when I had the inspection in my previous car. Noticed the day before the bloke came a massive crack down the middle of the windscreen! They stung me for £260! If id have had time to fix it myself I could have got it done on insurance! On the upside the bloke missed a big crack on one of the rear lights! Going to risk it and hope I get away lightly for my wheel! Mine has just over 14k on it and goes back in May so assume it would be worth similar to yours. -

Really!? Only reason I put it on was I had a puncture a while back and the garage said at the time they didnt have any of the others but had a Nexen. Surely its the equivalent in speed rated etc etc but I assume not in terms of price! -
