Hello all. I've just discovered that the pan roof of my estate only opens half way. Squeaks back and forth with a great amount of drag. Is there anything I can do myself (apply some lubricant?...) or I'd be better to address the issue when I take it next time to the Skoda garage? Thanks for your answers and cheers!

Subject closed considering the state of my budget satnav isn't a big issue atm. I'd be wiser to save this money for the future mk4.

What light pulses, if I may ask?...

Hi folks! Has anyone succeeded at coupling an android unit with Canton? Cannot find any info on this issue. I'm thinking of changing the head but I have to make sure it would work with it. Thanks!

The fob issue is now solved. Now I've got a few more that I don't think I'd manage to sort out. Will come with a short review on the car.

So I bit the bullet today, went down to Guilford and took it for a spin... OOOOHH BOOOIIII!!! WHAT A REFINED BEAST THAT IS! We had to kiss goodbye our beloved Focus as my driveway is too small for two. Our trip back home was a dream come true! A big thanks to all of you for your comments! One issue so far: I've replaced the battery in the second fob but no idea how to sync it. Any help?...

I thought heated seats come as standard in l&k. Don't they?

Just had the chance to see this one here: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202207077569942?advertising-location=at_cars&price-to=12000&postcode=TW149TG&model=Octavia&sort=price-desc&page=8&make=SKODA&include-delivery-option=on&percentVehiclePriceDeposit=true Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to drive it. A few scratches but overall looked alright. I hope I can try it tomorrow. Is the panroof something to be concerned about?

Thanks for the suggestion but the well specced Leon I could find were way above of my budget of £12k.

Definitely yes, once I get the chance to see the one I'm aiming at (no time at all). I'm asking all these questions as my curiosity is not something I can control. 😊

I'm not a fast driver by any means (1.0L wouldn't allow it anyway) but the bodyroll of my focus is annoying. Especially when driving my family around.

Is it true that it has a terrible bodyroll? Is the suspension better compared to other trims?

What is the service interval for 1.8 TSI and what needs doing? I know the chain is lifetime, but what about the waterpump? TIA

Does L&K have heated back seats?

What's it like mpg wise?

Is it true that you get worse mpg with autos?

Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't know what that is.

Hello all! I'm currently driving a 1.0L focus which is fine as a car overall. Not so long ago I've realized I want/need something else, as my car is sluggish at best (struggling getting up to the speed at lights and on motorways. It's even worse when going out with my family of 3 adults and 2 kids. Not to mention that the boot space is not enough for all the stuff we need when going on long trips. Needless to say about the leg room in the back. Being a titanium X, I got all the whistles and bells that could be fitted in it. Obviously I got used to all of it's great perks and would definitely consider them as a must in my next car. I begun looking for something well equipped but more spacious, more nippy, yet not too big or expensive. My budget could stretch to £12k and I want the best value for the money. The Skoda had to be shortlisted, as I could not find anything better than a mk3 Octavia. The only trim that would match my titanium X is L&K and everything below would be a serious downgrade. After doing some research, the only engines that come with L&K are 2.0 TDI and the 1.8TSI. I cannot tell anything about my average annual mileage as I've only got my licence in July last year. I've done about 9k during the first 12 months but now I use it for my daily commute (18ish miles each way). The company I'm working for is going to supply a little van so my next car would be used for shopping around (about 4miles trips or less) and obviously for weekend day outs around Surrey, Devon, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire (other places to be considered once I get another car ) What's the engine to go for? Is DSG as scary as they say? Manual seems like a safer option but it considerably narrows my list. Not so many L&K's on autotrader :) Thank you in advance for your replies and apologies for my TL:DR post!
