Can I ask what might be a very obvious question. You are the driver. It is your legal responsibilty to drive and control the car in a safe manner. If you accept all of that why on earth would you ever use adaptive cruise control, the main function of which (it seems to me) is to wrest control of the vehicle away from you and replace that control with electronics which are 100% infallible (yeah right). I only ever use plain old cruise control if I'm driving in speed controlled long run of roadworks. I'm in control and can drive the car in a manner suitable to the prevailing road conditions.

It could be a blown fuse. There are two separate fuse boxes and it would help you enormously to get access to the online Skoda owners manuals. Each door mirror has its own dedicated fused circuit.

As in the title, my car does not have a traditional spare wheel, brace or jack. It is supplied with an aerosol sealant compound and a 12V tyre pressure inflator. The latter two items are enclosed in a draw-string bag handily located under the rearmost edge of the boot floor once you remove the detachable hard cover. Common sense would perhaps suggest this as the ideal site for the key. But Skoda have their own version of common sense, and this practice pertains to more manufacturers than Skoda. Before I go further I'd like to have a little fun at your expense. If you've got this far, did you actually find your key, and if so, where was it? If you still haven't found yours, read the next episode. BTW did you realise if you use the sealant compound to fix a puncture, a) it is only a very temporary solution, and b) it actually ruins the tyre which cannot be puncture repaired since the solidified sealant compound is virtually impossible to remove - it is now scrap.

The fact remains Kodiaq L&K is no more in the UK.

I don't think so. The OTRP on my car with the options I chose (heated windscreen only) was £53,000. The L&K was always fully loaded and I imagine the OTRP would have come close to £57,000 if the option were available. Small things like the users manual now in a cardboard box rather than a faux leather wallet, and poorer quality (compared to the L&K) interior trim. As soon as I sat in it the cost cutting was fairly obvious. You are getting less car for more money.

I have a 2025 Kodiaq Sportline in the UK and I noticed the L&K version had been deleted as an option. I think it was due to overall cost since it is obvious Skoda have done some cost cutting.

I have a 2025 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline. I can confirm that door mirror heating is not available in eco mode but works perfectly in all other modes.

That's because WD40 is not primarily a lubricant. The clue is in the name - WD (Water Displacement). It does indeed have some lubricant properties but these are by no means long lasting. PTFE spray or lithium grease are far more affective.

I had these as standard on an earlier Kodiaq. When cleaning the car an over enthousiastic car detailer decided to sponge the door shuts and open door edges and actually ripped the door protector off. I understand Skoda no longer fit them as standard. IMHO they are crap.

I have replied to a similar posting on the same problem. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) can be turned off but that action comes with a warning and I don't know what the consequences might be. I sincerely doubt whether turning it off would invalidate warrant or insurance. If that is indeed the case, why allow it to be turned off in the first place?

I assume you have tried a new key fob battery. I have the very occasional proximity lock/unlock after heavy rain.

I believe AEB can be turned off, but I don't know what the other consequences might be. I do think it is far too sensitive.

Many thanks. Enjoy your own Christmas and New Year.

I've been told to lift the carpet behind the third row seats and look for a foam insert. Thekey is there apparently. With the Xmas festivities and visiting family etc I've not had a chance to look yet. BTW how the hell did you know it was Henrys in Glasgow? Spooky!

I will now. Thank you.
