Many years ago I had a Subaru Impreza and thought they could do with mudflaps but wanted a more ‘rally look’ in keeping with the nature of the beast. At that time a forum member mentioned that they’d got hold of some rubber-style cutting boards out of IKEA which being fairly thin were flexible and I had my local garage cut them to shape and securely fit them. They were about 10in wide and I was able to cut them to a decent length. Job done for about £5 plus fitting 👍

I can see now that the pillars themselves are stickered, the entire ‘window line’ is certainly improved

Sorry, you’ve lost me - are there stickers I can’t see in the photo or are the entire pillars stickered?

All explained, thank you

Not seen any nigh-time pictures so wondered where are the headlights, or do the slit sidelights do the job?

I bought one on-line though couldn’t tell you who from

With hindsight it was probably a Czech speaker, not German as I suggested in my post, which supports what you’ve said. Regardless of that I was offered no further assistance so called the AA being the Skoda Assistance partner (their choice not mine as it came when I bought the car)

We had a flat when out shopping about 6 months ago and I assumed that pressing that button would connect me to the AA. Seems not, I ended up (eventually) speaking to a German speaker who said he couldn’t help. Rang instead the number I’d installed on my mobile. Never did get to the bottom of who the German speaker was.

We’ve a 2020 and I noticed the blades were noisy, changed them for Bosch Aerotwin, no problems since

We have a 2020 Karoq and if memory serves me right I’ve previously been able to type a destination street name directly into the location line. Obviously unless it’s a common name the address would generally flag up, I okay it and map sets the route. Now I’m getting a box appear asking for city, then street. Perhaps I’m just having another grey moment and imagining this, but don’t recall seeing this before. There was a message appeared a few days ago saying there was an update available but it didn’t say what it was for, I simply said yes go ahead upload it.

Welcome; perhaps update your profile with your location and model?

Not sure I like the swirly paint 😄

Checked both the DVLA and Skoda links and my2020 Karoq not showing on either. Thanks for the heads up any way. Have mentioned it to my son and a friend who have Skodas

I’ve been using one for years although can’t remember the make - did have lettering on it but that’s long worn off. Quick check on Amazon and there’s a similar called ‘Milenco HS Silver Steering Wheel Lock’. (Sorry, can’t post the link but no doubt you can google it) It’s easy enough to fit and provides a very visible deterrent. Easily stored in rear footwell when not in use. Believe the recommended ones are those that completely cover the wheel although they’re pricey.

Surprised the tinting technicians don’t have a meter? Perhaps try another firm?

Was going to say much the same as Ootohere. We’ve a Karoq and seem to recall that after we had the AA deal with a flat I reset the TPMS but it flagged up again. Think I went in and reset it again and it cleared so perhaps you need to press set or hold the key longer? Sorry if it sounds a bit vague but short of deflating a tyre I’m not sure how I could reproduce the process

Would the technician that’s going to do the work not be able to tell you? Or you planning to do the job yourself

Prior to owning a Freelander and now my Karoq I used a small independent round the corner from me DG Repairers, Sutcliffe Road SE18 2NF 0208 3164730. They serviced my Subaru Impreza and Forester but I’ve not been there for a few years as last cars have been under warranty. Might be worth a call? I’m in the same area as you so would be interested to hear if you find someone local

By way of an update I’ve been back on to Customer Services (think they need to rethink that name, not sure who they’re serving) and eventually received an email advising that the dealers won’t clean the seats, they’re not covered by any warranty however . . . . . . .they can sell me seat covers 😂 The cover for the rear of the seat is £177 plus vat, the base section £147 plus vat. Well that’s a real bargain, over £380 to deal with an issue that’s not of my doing. She asked if I’m interested 🤔

We have a 2020 Karoq Sportline with the highback seats and bolster sides. I have found that on occasions they can become a little uncomfortable and find I’m wiggling about re-positioning myself. My main gripe is with the ‘staining’ of the fabric, it’s as though there’s been liquid spilt and allowed to dry although I never drink when driving (not even water 😏) If I give the seats a decent brush or use a fabric shampoo the marks will disappear but then eventually reappear a few days later, even if the cars not been used 🤔 There has been a separate thread on here about this but there’s never been a rational reason for the markings. I contacted Customer Care who said to contact the dealer under warranty but they say it’ll not be covered, refer back to CC. Been back on to CC but it’s a bit like pulling teeth getting a response.

Not covered under the warranty? You’ve only had the car 3 months so should have been sorted before you bought it surely?

Loving the title of the post . Bumber in the urban dictionary is a lover of boobs so am wondering what a woman with rear boobs would look like 😂

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on your Volvo

Happily watch motoGP although must confess I’m not a follower. Still intrigues me how they throw the bikes over at those ridiculous angles and yet they don’t fall over 🤔

I’m getting used to the 12hour clock - was out in the car yesterday, I looked through the windscreen just as I got home, saw it was still light and indeed it was only 4pm 😄
