  1. Thanks for that info ! I was trying to lift from the back! No wonder I wasn't having much luck!
  2. Any clues for lifting the rear seats in the estate to pad out the underside.
  3. During my ten year ownership of a diesel Mondeo I regularly treated yhe car to a dose of diesel cleaner. This was on the advice of my service garage . Is there any reason to cease this practice with the Superb?
  4. True, I used the download portal last time. I have used Martinis source before. I'll leave it until after week 25 and try again! Not going anywhere anyway!
  5. My download tonight was version 189 rather than the 192 that Martini quoted. What week do they update or is this dependent on the car make or something? I seem to recall that Week 25 was the update time, or was I dreaming?
  6. Hi , There must be a method by which you can set a final destination but also indicate a location that you would like to visit 'en route'. Can some kind soul explain to an idiot how that can be accomplished! Many thanks in hope!!
  7. Most important to unzip and then load three files onto the USB stick. I was struggling for ages having uploaded the unzipped files as one!
  8. Exactly like me! I just want to look at my service records!!!!
  9. My July 2017 reg estate 150 hasn't got adblue. Confused I queried it with a main dealer who checked and confirmed that some weren't at that time. Others said 'think yourself lucky' !!!
  10. As someone of advanced years I can say that getting information regarding servicing information is not successful. It just appeared under the old system! It asks me to say something - that I cannot understand. If anyone can explain please do! Why not just email a service record to owners if they require it? It can then be printed if required.
  11. It doesn't! I have adjustable Spax on my classic Triumph and they are good. Just want to dampen the bounce a little!
  12. Has anyone fitted these to Superb Estate MkIII.? Is it an easy DIY?
  13. Got it, thanks! I didn't look far enough, impatient? Me!?
  14. As a caravanner there are times when folding the rear view mirrors is useful to gain clearance ( motorway paydesks etc). My Ford Mondeo did it electrically but my Superb just says pull them in manuallly. Anyone actually done it, I dont want to apply force and bust the damn things!
  15. Thanks for that Haystack1! I have happy memories of Melbourne!!
  16. Plenty to research there!! Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
  17. Just being finnicky but is there a key to the batch of coding letters in the handbook, giving you info on how the car is equipped, DCC etc. ? I have found the colour code for the paint but the rest are a mystery.
  18. Found DC Performance in UK so should be sound! Thanks, I'll let you know how I go on in due time!!!!!
  19. Going to see my friendly workshop in December to MOT my partner's car and also see if he could do my Superb arb's . Where do you buy them from, direct from Eibach/ H and R or get the shop to buy them? Of course in Sweden you might have better access to German bits! Anyone done the deed in the UK?
  20. Very true I'm afraid. I enjoyed my car time. Started with Austin 7's stripped and re-bodied (my first cost me £7.50!!! no battery) But the 750 club in those days was home to the likes of Colin Chapman who became Lotus. His correspondence to the magazines covers his development of the first Lotus 6 . He was just like everyone else a petrol head playing at chassis stiffness etc. Great days! i still have a longing to build a Bugatti type 35 on a Triumph GT6 chassis, but it's a dream only these days . I have built a Lotus 7 lookalike since I retired though!! Stay safe mate!
  21. Thanks for that. I can see the sense of stiffening both front and rear tbh. It should stiffen up the ride generally and that's OK.
  22. Thanks for that info Newbie69. If we ever get out of solitary I will explore again!!! I wouldn't be averse to stiffening front and back tbh. Just narks me that I can't do it myself! The price of old age I'm afraid.
  23. Hi, its a Mk3 ,17 reg fwd estate diesel 150. I tow a caravan (Covid permitting) but I am experimenting with the Sports DCC setting to control the wallowing or floating. My lifetime hobby has been building and restoring sports cars and I prefer a stiffer ride if possible. Not towed with the Superb at all actually as I bought it in Jan because my partner may require a wheel chair hoist. What travelling I have done in the beast indicated that the ride was a bit soft. I would probably look to my local VAG shop to do the change. I am rapidly approaching 81yrs old and crawling about isn't as easy as it once was and I like to know just what I need for the job in hand to avoid being sold a pup.
  24. Would that be ok on a non- Sportline estate mk 3?
