Another question for you knowledgeable folk, please; I am intending on taking out a Skoda warranty as any car I purchase will be between 3-6 years old. The car must be serviced (I assume it means also must have been serviced) in line with manufacturer guidance. Therefore, if I purchase a Skoda Karoq which is a 68 plate, and no more than 30,000 miles, what's the minimum amount of services I should expect to see for the vehicle to have full service history. The reason I ask is that I've read about fixed intervals (10k/1 year) and variable intervals , and I'm unsure as to what determines which service schedule a vehicle would need. Thank you.

Thank you all. A further question, when checking 'Parkers' for some specs I was after, I note there were two 1.0tsi engines to choose from; a 110bhp and a 115bhp. Asides from 5bhp, what are the differences? Earlier/later models or something else? Thank you.

Very big thanks to all the contributors so far. Mega impressed. Thank you.

Morning all, Very good forum - thank you. We are days/Weeks from purchasing a Karoq as our second child is due imminently. (I want to spend about 15/16k max so I'm not interested in top end models etc). Just some queries for you experts out there, to help me decide... - Skoda Extended Used Car Warranty. £230 per year with £250 excess. Any experiences with it? Worth it? - 1.0tsi or 1.6d. Wife will do circa 10k miles pa. What's the better engine? (Least problematic / most popular) - "Kangarooing". Is this unique to the 1.5tsi only? - Cambelt. Needs doing every 5 years. Rough cost? - Can I check the service history of a vehicle on its infotainment system? I had a quick go yesterday but couldn't find it. (Any vehicle I purchase will need fsh to satisfy any Skoda used warranty) - SE or SE L. Is the +£500/£1000 difference worth it? I note varioflex seats appears to be main difference. Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply. It's not the pedal spring. Is the slave cylinder a big job? Anywhere North Wales, Cheshire, Ellesmere Port, Manchester / Liverpool etc. Thanks.

Good morning all, I have a 2013 Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI (manual) with 70,000 miles. Yesterday morning the clutch failed whereby the pedal lost all its 'spring' and remains planted to the floor. I can't get the car in gear now so it's undrivable. Two queries, please: - What's the likely cause /problem? - Are any garages recommended in the North Wales or North West England area for diagnosis and repair? Many thanks, James
