  1. locksmith picked the lock in 2 mins..no questions asked.
  2. thanks guys.. esp.the suggestion of breaking a window !! however a local car locksmiths have sorted it by just picking the lock with a tool,£50. Makes you realise even deadlocked how insecure your car is ! I have now in the meantime ordered a spare key.
  3. Hi, have locked my key in the boot ! Will the dealer who supplied the cat be able to order a new key? Thanks.
  4. Hi, anyone fitted a front splitter to their Rapid.. Maxton do them and wondered if they are any good. Less cost of the O E Monty Carlo ones I presume.. Thanks,
  5. Hi..I too have a 1.2 TSI petrol cam chain. Do you know when or if the chain needs replacing? I cant see anything in the hand book and there is no service booklet like there used to be. saying which parts are replaced at certain mileage. Have had the car from new with no issues, it's a 2014 with 105000 miles. Cheers.
  6. I was going have Eibachs fitted but if it causes tyre wear I'll not bother.. why would lower springs cause tyre wear?
  7. I've been thinking about fitting Eibach lowering springs but if that causes increased tyre wear ( I do 20K miles a year!) I'm not sure I will now?
  8. non res sounds better outside but the drone inside the car is terrible in my experience..I had a miltek fitted to a vRS Octy but had to have the box put back as the drone in the car esp when when motorway driving was terrible!
  9. I wondered the improvement in performance was significantly better (Shark say 125bhp for the 105) but is there extra strain being put on components,such as gearbox clutch and turbo? If these are the same as in the 1.4 125bhp engine then it should be fine,
  10. Are there significant improvements to the cars performance but any signs of over wearing any engine components due to the remap
  11. Just had a 40K service by my local garage(not dealer) on my 2 year old Rapid and all is great for £146 inc,vat. All filters changed, brakes inspected/adjusted.. really has made a big difference to performance and fuel economy and half the price my dealer wanted ! The Timing chain according to Skoda has a life guarantee, never needs changing!!
  12. the tyre pressure warning light has regularly illuminated on my car even when the tyres are all Ok after checking !
  13. interestingly (or not!) the translation in Czech for the word Clever is Chytry. If you translate Chytry back to English it spells the word 'Smart'
