My Yeti has factory pre fitted wiring and I was quoted £535 for the towbar by skoda dealer. Witter quote £447.24 online including wiring.

As long as you are not supestitious about having a 13 number plate.

Now you have made me sorry I missed the debate last time around.

It would also be useful if the speedo was actually marked with text in 10 Mph divisions isnstead of the current 20 Mph. Don't Skoda realise that the most common speed limit in the UK is 30MPH which is difficult to read on the current display when driving. Having said that I notice a lot more 40 mph and 50 Mph zones these days. If the politicians have their way we will all be back to a man with a red flag walking in front.

Based on my experience the car should be with your dealer two weeks after build.

Display (Sat Nave) should be higher in the dash so that you can glance at it without taking your eyes off the road.

Ordered my new Yeti on 1st Nov 2012. It was delivered on 1st Jan 2013. I was quoted 12 to 14 weeks. Thanks to Stuart Houghton at West End Garage for keeping me up to date each week by email as the car progressed. 9/11/12 week 45 status code 10 (Planned for week 49) 05/12/12 status code 38 (Waiting at Port) At exit Port of Emden Germany 17/12/12 staus code 39 (shipped) Checked ships leaving Emden for Newcastle and found it was "City of Paris" which had already arrived at the Tyne. 21/12/12 Car delivered to dealer. 1/1/13 Car delivered to Customer.Attached is a picture of the Yeti. No not the car the furry one named Yuri that came with the car. My grandchildren are now fighting over who he belongs to. Yes you guessed it; I am not included.

Guess it depends on the dealer then.

My dealer said that he could not sell me cars from the showroom because they had to be on display until a new car came in to replace them. My view of this is that if you can't get cars to sell you might as well sell cars in the showroom and at least get some cash for idle stock. Sounds like the VAG tail is wagging the dealer dog.

Colours in the Brochure do not match colours in the showroom and Storm Blue does not seem to be available (again). Rosso Brunello is more of a brownie red than the wine red it should be but then I think most of the metalic colours for the Yeti range are too dark and do not show off the vehicle to best advantage. Must be a VAG thing because Audi and VW seem to suffer from the same problem.

The other problem is that if you want to trade in a vehicle with a long new vehicle lead time. Then dealers will not guarantee a price for your old car and it may depreciate by as much as £150 per month while you wait for yor shiny new Skoda to turn up. My experience of Fords is such that I tend to avoid them.

No, only half bad.

Telephone exchanges generally don't report CLIs for multi-lines but rely on the multi-line system to report a CLI. As has been stated on most multi-lne systems there is an option to set the CLI or even set more than one for splitting up departments. Incoming foreign calls generally don't have CLIs so you may see "Foreign" in the phones display. The other common one is for the phone to display "Unknown" when no CLI is set.

Some people are incapable of learning. On the other hand try trading your Skoda in for a new one with a long delivery lead time and you will certainly feel as if your ass has been kicked by SKODA.
