  1. Could it be possible that one of the alloy wheel rims has been damaged and is not perfectly round ? If the car had hit a bad pothole in the road then this may have damaged both the tyre and the wheel, but it is much more difficult to detect damage to the wheel. One wheel that is not perfectly round would cause severe vibration but might well look ok on visual inspection.
  2. The Windows built-in "unzip" cannot handle zip files that have been password protected (which is not the case here). It also cannot handle other compressed file formats such as "RAR" which you occasionally encounter (again, not the case here). But I've always found it pretty solid and reliable with normal zip files and have certainly never had any problems unzipping Skoda/VW map updates using it. As to the "adware" warning - many people locate software to download by using a Google search. It's not uncommon for those searches to take you to sites that are less reputable than Cnet and some of those sites are setup with multiple, deliberately confusing, "download here" links that will download software other than what you're actually looking for. I've had to remove "Mindspark", "MyWebSearch" and "DriverUpdate" so many times from people's PCs that I feel it's always worth warning people to be careful about what they download for free from the internet.
  3. If you are using a Windows 10 computer then you don't need "7.zip" or any other external apps to extract files from a zipped file. Windows 10 has basic zipfile extraction built-in and has done for years. Simply RIGHT-click the zipped file, select "Extract All..." then choose the location where the extracted files will be placed. For Windows 10 users this is the safest option, since some of the free downloads of "7.zip" or "WinRAR" can contain adware or other unwanted apps that can be installed on your computer.
  4. The USB socket in front of the gear lever on my 2019 SE-L definitely turns off after a while when the car is locked. If I leave my iPod connected then it gradually discharges over the course of a few days so the USB socket cannot be charging it up.
  5. I've just taken delivery of a 2019 Superb Estate and plan to replace the wheel repair kit with a spacesaver wheel. Does anyone have any advice for changing or modifying the plastic molding under the boot floor so that the spacesaver will fit ? Anyone had previous experience of this ? Any advice greatly appreciated.
