Using a ganny cable on a timer socket
If it's a plug in timer it's unlikely to be rated for 20A. You're probably better off with a wall mounted timer, similar to an immersion heater timer. I can't see any reason why there should be an issue after that. Unless you've an extension reel.

Virtual Cockpit Screen Scratches
Hi, The screen protector definitely worked and did good job of masking 90% of the marks. It gives it a slightly more matt finish, and is easier to clean with out further risk of scratching.

Petrol Manual Acceleration Failure (Limp mode?)
Ah, I wasn't sure. It sounds like the limiter is intermittently set. I don't remember is it possible to set the limit and deactivate it. Say it's set at 50MPH, but turned off?

Petrol Manual Acceleration Failure (Limp mode?)
Can you drive faster than 50MPH the rest of the time? What is the fastest you've recently driven? There is also a speed limit feature that can be turned on or off in these cars.

True. But my understanding is you could request the removal of the information at any time. I do wonder will they or have they shared the information with anyone.

Under GDPR Regulations you have the right to request copy of all the information they have. And to have it removed.

I believe it's per country based. It's not showing in my app. I saw this mentioned somewhere else before either here or r/Skoda. Depends on your countries privacy regulations.

wipers turning on without being asked to
The wiper was always in the off position for me.

wipers turning on without being asked to
I've noticed this too. It is intermittent, but it was around this time last year it started happening. I think it's the combination of the sun and light flares on the camera triggering this. Especially evenings and mornings when the sun is low.

L&K rear coil springs...
Call the next one. Or learn to use ETKA 😉

L&K rear coil springs...
My 2 cents. Get your VIN number and call the dealer. Ask them for the correct part number for your specific car. Then search using that part number. When i got my L&K the previous owner had replaced the springs, the ass of the car sat way too high. You could see the rake a mile away. I replaced them all for the Eibach Pro Kit with 15MM spacers all round. It's sits perfectly for me. I haven't loaded the boot yet with bodies & luggage though. Max I had was 160Kg in the boot Before: After

Heated windscreen - Can you see the wires?
It looks like more of a chameleon tint that a wire element version.

2.0TSi 190 Fuel economy. Pleasantly surprised.
My thoughts exactly. Always diesel before.

Yes, it is quite a difference. But I have to drive like a granny to get those numbers 😁 Doing about 12-13K Miles annually

2.0TSi 190 Fuel economy. Pleasantly surprised.
With these MPG it's worth considering getting a 2.0 Petrol instead of a diesel. I'm happy enough get 45MPG either way. Now at the moment in the evenings going home on a 30KM journey I can squeeze 72MPG out of my Diesel.

It's the ash that will fill first before you need to replace / clean. Mine was at 80% Ash, but still regener some to 25% on soot.
-

Yeah, between 20 and 25% seems about right. I had more Ash on less mileage.

Depends on your mileage as to how much soot or ash you have. When the DPD does a regen, roughly every 250 miles, it burns the soot into ash. This is what builds up, when it's full you have to flush or replace.

VCDS options on Superb III.FL
I don't have access to VCDS at the moment. However I did this modification with Carista. When I walk away from the car, with the key it automatically locks. It only unlocks when I grab the handle on my return.
