  1. Part 5 or 8 here; https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/OCT/753/9/919/919070
  2. Plenty of threads on after-market wheels. I'm sure there's more and you'll find similar for tyres if you search. I'm not sure if there's differences between pre and post facelift fitment as post facelift has a wider track. Personally I run summer tyres all year round (Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric) but many people run all seasons tyres such as CrossClimates. I think you'd only change tyres if you live somewhere that gets a lot of snow.
  3. I'd swap the sensors right to left one at a time until the fault moves. That's the faulty sensor. Part numbers can be found here; https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/OCT/753/9/919/919050
  4. You might be better off getting the existing one retrimmed. https://royalsteeringwheels.com/ I've not used them but have seen them recommended. Other retrimmers are available.
  5. Top of the V is 22mm from the swage line. Top edge of the S is 37mm from the edge of the boot.
  6. When you unlock the doors with the key the boot doesn't unlatch. You still need to press the release button on the boot. Are you saying it doesn't open when you press the button? This is by design. If you press the button on the centre console it will unlock the doors and the boot.
  7. I had an intermittent 'fault' with my cruise control when I first got the car. It turned out that if you move the switch too slowly when turning it on it will generate a fault. I even took it to the dealer and he recreated the fault on another car. I flick the switch across quicker now and haven't had a problem since.
  8. Yours looks more like this Vega "style" wheel. https://cmwheels.com/products/18″-skoda-vega-style-wheels-gloss-black-machined/
  9. I can't edit the previous post but it turns out that's exactly what it is. Whipped the wheel off earlier. There is nothing where it shouldn't be but the wear sensor on the inner edge on the inner pad is actually almost touching the disk face .You can barely see it, amazed the tester reported it, twice. I guess that's because the pads are almost actually due for replacement. They're down to 3 or 4mm so maybe the dealer meant there was 30% left at the last service 🤣
  10. Oh yeah, that makes more sense 🤣 That's the problem with taking it to the dealer who takes it to the MOT garage. I don't get to talk to the tester. Odd they never mentioned it / sorted it at the last service. I guess that's what you get when everything's on a checklist 🙄
  11. Thought I'd resurrect this as I had the car MOT'd earlier. I did indeed get an advisory for the bushes along with exactly the same advisory for front pads I got last year. Which is odd as they were only 30% worn at the service in September 🤷‍♀️ Dealer (Marshall's - wouldn't normally go there for a MOT but its included in the service plan) was quite chill about it, blaming potholes. Didn't try to sell me new wishbones or anything.
  12. This seller on eBay will sell you a replacement socket if you send them a pic of the bolt. Other sellers have the sockets but need you to identify the correct one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114997329649 It might also be worth speaking to your local dealer to see if Skoda keep a record of the code fitted to the car.
