Anyone else suffering with condensation in their car's headlights. I mentioned it to the dealer before the warranty ran out , but he was like no, it’s just because of the winter weather,however it still persists and my car goes in for MOT and on the “health check “ the technician notes condensation in N/S headlight , replacement £1400 . I’ve never seen any other Superb with this problem anyone got any ideas as to a cheaper fix than £1400?

Does anyone else get constant emails from an email address [email protected]. It keeps telling me my pre set area has been exceeded , then my street name , then it informs me it has been disturbed , giving a date and time. Anybody know what this is about? I get about 3 or 4 emails a day.

I suppose that both are left hand drive countries and it’s less hassle than converting cars to right hand drive.

I did hear that car manufacturers were cannibalising washing machines for their computer chips, whether that changes anything we shall see. I can’t say I was over impressed by the dealership communications throughout the wait.

I got mine in April after waiting from July , I did see recently on the Skoda.co.uk website that there were one or two cancelled orders for sale, might be worth a loom.

Shame I suppose, any idea what you’re going to get instead? I did read that Kia /Hyundai are only 6 weeks lead time.

Beginning to wonder if I should put my order in for the next one I want as it’s 4 years away judging by the way things are it might just arrive by then.

Ordered mine in July 2021 finally collected it Monday. Worth the wait I feel, even if it was a complete pain. I was told it’s now a 30 week leadtime.

What’s the point of them then? I suppose it’s something to do with the Ukrainian issue because VW group is over committed/over reliant in the region.

Collect my car Monday at long last , could have had it this week but the salesman was on holiday and asked me if I would delay delivery so he could hand it over rather than one of his colleagues , I don’t suppose another week in top of the 8 months I’ve waited makes much odds.

Wonder if it’s on Google earth , the car , not the docks probably the nearest I’ll ever get to it at this rate.

Just been on to the dealer again , 3 weeks ago the car was built and on a train to the docks, apparently it’s still there , how long does it take to get onto a cargo ship and cross the sea for crying out loud. This is becoming irritating now.

Mine is on its way across Germany by train , then onto England and me hopefully, still not convinced it’s on its way though , we shall see.

Rang the dealer on Friday as he told me that the car would be built this week. First of all why am I having to ring them, anyhow, he now tells me that there may be more delays because of the situation in Ukraine ,this is really beginning to **** me off. I ordered my car over 30 weeks ago in July and was told delivery by Christmas, no word from the dealer so I rang them in November and was told it would be February/March , then I was told it was going to be built this week and be here at the end of March. Rang another dealer today just to see and he said 30 weeks lead time. What to do ? Cancel and look elsewhere , Kia/ Hyundai perhaps , or just sit and hope. I know it’s my decision but any thoughts welcome!

My dad phoned me today to tell me that the main battery on his 21 plate Karoq had gone completely flat , he has been having KESSY issues of recent ,not sure if it’s related, I suspect a battery drain, anyone got ,or had similar issues?
