the truth about electric cars
New car purchase maybe but 80% of car sales are for used and Private consumers in the UK are nearly five times more likely to buy a used car than a new one when pure leases (PCH) and fleet cars are removed from the data.

A trip in a Waymo robotaxi still costs more, on average, than a comparable ride in a human-driven Uber or a Lyft. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/price-gap-between-waymo-uber-174319806.html#:~:text=The%20company%20found%20that%20Waymo,robotaxi%20versus%20ride%2Dhailing%20data.

When you rent them you have to pay extra for the colour you want to drive? 🤣

When I bought "New" cars I had to wait for them to be built. I never bought one from a storage yard. All those "In Stock" should have a discount.

Would that not be partly due to the need to get the registrations in before the end of 2025. They cannot register them twice.

the truth about electric cars
It is strange and needs addressing Kyle (the presenter) states that if the driver had touched the accelerator pedal it would stop the rapid acceleration because then the traction control would kick in? They were deliberately making the vehicle do what it did by setting it to creep and releasing the brake pedal only.

VED and Car List Price
@travs I would pay it as quick as you can. It should be £620. I think it's because it was taxed twice in the first year for twelve months. Moving the ecs to Sept from March,so your five years of ecs have been 21-25 tax years instead of 22-26 tax years It will be interesting what it is next year, My guess will be a straight £195. I think the clue is the 6 month d/d payment compared to paying it in option 1 Was it £600 last March? or £341 in Sept for 6 month?

It's due to go up again in April, i am still confused about the £407.50 ?

VED and Car List Price
Metallic paint? The L+K was around £41,000 I don't know why your ved this year from march the 1st isn't £620 Unless because it was first taxed in March 21 then the 2nd year started in September 21 . so the bill is now £195 plus the balance of the ecs to make up the fifth year

Update offer email from Skoda
Well they will have lots of 25 and 75 pre registration cars to shift before the end of the month

Update offer email from Skoda
Strange they passed it off as an update, my Dealership sent me an email this week saying VIP event "For loyal customers like yourself, we have reserved a limited number of appointments and exclusive offers that will not be advertised to the general public. Additionally, based on our records, your vehicle has been identified as eligible for an Exclusive VIP Event Bonus towards your next new or used Škoda." Maybe different dealers think differently.

What 2021 Skoda vehicle is it. The 2021 Superb phev had models over £40,000 with options but they would have been £590 last March. So the £407.50 could be some weird calculation of the Supplement based on the difference between it's first registered date and you buying it.

Engine cut off and no start - 1.9 TDi BXE
Try unplugging the EGR valve to see if the car stays running longer than 5 minutes Got the below from AI Critical Components to Check Relay 458 (E-Box): In the engine bay fuse box, Relay 458 is the main power supply relay for the ECU. If this relay has high resistance or burnt contacts, the ECU will have enough power to "talk" to a tester but not enough "current" to actually fire injectors or hold relays closed. The "5V Reference" Collapse: If a sensor like the Camshaft Sensor or EGR Valve has an internal short that only occurs when hot, it can pull down the ECU's internal 5V rail. This causes the ECU to cut fuel and "glitch" without storing a code, as the fault occurs in the hardware power management layer before the software can register an error. Injector Loom (Common 1.9 TDI BXE Fault): The wiring loom inside the cylinder head (submerged in oil) is a notorious weak point. While it usually causes a misfire code, a short-to-ground in this loom can occasionally "trip" the ECU's safety shutdown, causing it to kill the fuel pump and injectors simultaneously to prevent damage. Recommended Next Steps The Heat Test: While the car is running, use a hair dryer to carefully heat the ECU case. If the car dies much faster than 1–5 minutes, you have confirmed an internal ECU hardware failure. The Cold Start Bypass: If you can immediately restart by jumping the fuel pump relay but the engine still won't fire (even if the pump is running), it confirms the ECU is refusing to pulse the injectors. Scope the Crank Signal: Even though the sensor is new, check the signal at the ECU pins (not the sensor) when the stall happens. If the signal vanishes there but the sensor is fine, the issue is the ECU's internal processing of that signal.

sounds like power is being cut from the ecu before a code can be recorded
-
Engine cut off and no start - 1.9 TDi BXE
Does the VCDS cut out at the same time the engine stalls Also does the rev counter move whilst cranking

Could be a good call, relays can trip when warm. This may help the OP find them all, specifically ones that supply the ecu https://www.scribd.com/document/480348716/SSP-54-Octavia-II-electrical-components-pdf
