Please Help! S .. SE .. SEL .. Elegence .. Amundsen .. Columbus
Hmm, a UK SE L from MY19 would've had electric folding heated mirrors, auto dipping interior mirror, alcantara/leather seats, led headlights, Amundsen, rear privacy glass. But options would've been full rear leds, kessy, front parking sensors and heated seats. Maybe, a member from Europe (LHD) would know more spec wise?

Just had a look at the seats, my SE L has alcantara/leather. Do the mirrors fold when you lock it?

It looks to be a decent spec., (Possibly a SE L with some extra options, the wheels match mine) But as the OP is in Palestine, would the specs be regional specific? Edit. Can you find a local MY19 price list on line? Or local (?) Skoda dealer

what do you like and dislike about your Octavia?
I know, but it's now got to the point were it's hilarious guessing when they're going to come on and at what speed - sloooow, one wipe a second, or full on "greasy chicken speed" 😆

what do you like and dislike about your Octavia?
Like Space, economy, LED headlights, heated seats and steering wheel, comfort. Cruise and speed limiter, knobs and dials as well as touch screen Dislike Rain sensing wipers - they are a law unto themselves, satnav search function, voice control ffs don't get me started...

Can the ACC stalk up/down step be changed (from 10km/hr to 5km/hr)?
Not sure if you can changes the stock settings, but, if you pull the stalk towards you speed increases by +1kph (or mph) and if you push the button on the end it reduces by -1kph.

Hello Siri
Do you have a voice control button on the steering wheel? If yes try a long press (short press does Skoda voice control - good luck with that...) . Long press gives me Google on Android Auto.

Interesting article - The latest infotainment systems in some VAGs aren’t fit for purpose
English IS my first language* and quite frankly the voice recognition is pants. It can't even cope with my wife and she's much "posher" than me. *or some rough approximation of English

Varaderoguy - a mention in dispatches
I'm humbled by the kindness of strangers. I posted on Sunday about having a mirror indicator smashed. @varaderoguy offered me a pair of used oem ones for postage. It's now Wednesday and I've got a working mirror. This is what forums should be about!

Mirror led replacement
So, with a big thank you to @varaderoguy I now have working, matching mirror indicators. It would've been an easier job with a) smaller fingers b) not finding out two of the locating tabs had broken in the impact... Clear Gorilla Tape and cable ties later we're done. 🤬🤬 Peugeot drivers 🤬🤬

Dog Harnesses
We got Kurgo harnesses for our Border Terriers for use in the wife's car, they're actually crash tested, once adjusted they're easy enough to fit, however I don't use them for walks as they were a bit restrictive/bulky. We got them from Pets at Home, but you can buy direct https://kurgo.uk/products/enhanced-strength-tru-fit-dog-car-harness#videos We got a rear seat "hammock" from Amazon that allows the seat belts to be used for the harness and also comes up the back of the front seats and rear doors.

OEM Hankook tyres cracking
I've noticed cracks appearing in all four of my OEM Hankook Ventus s1 evos. I've never had tyres do this before. The car will be three years old in September and has less than 11k miles. I check the pressures regularly (granted not that often during lockdown) So do I replace/monitor/ignore?

Anyone used any of the 'We buy your bike' type companies?
After only riding them to be mot'd for the last 2½ years me and Mrs Cakemonster have decided the bikes are to go. I know we'd get more selling privately, but I really don't want tyre kickers or test ride warriors turning up, or worse, just riding off. Anyone recommend a reputable company?

What Android App is best for use as Satnav with Smartlink?
Good to know that you can with Google Maps, it's what I like about Sygic, you only use data for traffic

Daft question, can you get traffic on the offline maps?
