Thank you JR RS It’s on the passenger side which does not have the memory function.

I just wondered if anyone else has had had this puzzling situation: 2018 Superb estate L and K 190 Dsg. We noticed for the first time the other evening that the passenger seat recliner wasn’t working in either direction. Complete silence, no mechanical sounds etc apart from the switch. All other seat functions ok. But the next morning when out of curiosity I simply walked out to the car without starting it or anything, and tried it, it worked. Later on in the day same procedure, faulty again, until the next morning..... And that is the pattern, it works first time in the morning but only then. That recliner adjustment has probably been called on 5 times in the entire life of the car. I don’t know how much control logic if any, exists on the passenger side electric seat. There’s no memory function like there is on driver side. But maybe there’s still enough circuitry to be a candidate for a heat fault, showing later in a warming day. Beyond that I have no idea. The car is at Skoda for service tomorrow and I can’t decide whether to pay an extra £60 for the technician to troubleshoot it, followed possibly by a much bigger sum to fix it, when there’s a small chance I might sort it myself. I’ve tried giving the seat a thump when its working to see if I can induce it to stop, in case it’s a dodgy connection etc but it does not seem to be that. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Hi all, this is a general topic about speeding. Tomorrow I'm attending a speed awareness course as for the first time in my life I was caught speeding, 35 in a 30. I'm totally against speeding and always try to keep my speed well down I fully accept I was speeding. However, I do sometimes think that for a driver in unfamiliar territory it's almost impossible to be driving a legal speed right at the start of a lower speed zone e.g. from nat speed limit into a 30 One minute you're doing 55 in a 60 then suddenly you see the 30 sign in the distance maybe only a 100 yards away. To slow from 55 to 30 in 100 yards is not easy, eco friendly nor safe even, if the road surface is a bit slippery for example Take that scenario to also include reduced visibility and therefore later noticing of the 30 sign. Yes, in that 60 and driving to conditions, you might responsibly be doing this time only 40, but you, as that responsible driver, could still be driving illegally fast when entering the 30, but really not through your fault. I'm not aware of satnavs giving a speed limit countdowns but if they did I'd be the first to use one. I also don't know how far into the limit zone the cameras are located. If in the middle then I do hold my hands up and say ok I was speeding as I did have time to slow. But sometimes I've seen mobile detector vans literally next to the limit sign, giving almost no time to knock speed off in the space between where the sign is first seen, and the actual sign. A limit countdown would be much safer, fairer and eco friendly as cars would just coast down to the limit as opposed to being suddenly braked. Anyone got thoughts on this?
