I have Factory Towbar prep on my FL vRS Est. No bumper cut out on mine.........

After 6 weeks & 3700 miles the front Dunlop's are showing noticeable signs of wear, mostly motorway driving aswell. At this rate 9,000 miles may be optomistic for mine :'(

+1

My dealer says there is not one available from Skoda for the FL on the Octy II. I did not think the tailgate was different, anyone more informed ? Thanks

The Bolero I removed from the same car controlled the IPod in the same way as the Columbus

Yes I am happy with it. My MDI was factory fit, Columbus & Bluetooth kit was an easy retrofit by me (under a couple of hours), just need 10 mins with VCDS to code the maxidot

This is from the Columbus, the Bolero is virtually the same layout (except for Touchscreen) HTH Graham

Here you go........

So if i went into a Main Stealer & ordered a new Columbus, or had a dealer warranty exchange on a unit, how would I or the dealer get the code ? Just wondering G

4,000 miles in a month ? That's going some..........

Yep, was told this was going to happen before Christmas, not sure if its been "officially" announced yet though

Looks good, nice moody lighting, Pity about the shoes.................

Come on Roberto ! The suspense is killing (some of) us ! Name & shame........ /switches off Daily Mirror mode.................

Different spec to yours, but yes, they beat DTD, it was probably a "perfect storm", pre-price list, Vat reduced, pre-christmas & I knew the salesman. But yes, beat DTD.

I guess you are not that far from Chesterfield, guess I should attend, Are you on the ind estate behind Newbolds VW (I think Wheelworx are on there) ?

I like the look of this, I guess I would need a controller for this also ? where is vrs stu when you need him ?

I was in the same situation as you, been a Blackberry user for 4+years, totally at home with them & their quirks. I just changed to an IPhone 3GS 32GB & all is not plain sailing. The phone just does not receive signals anywhere near as successfully as a BB, with both devices switched on the BB will be at full strength, whereas the Iphone can be at 2 bars & struggling. Vodafone are aware of this (check out the VF forums) & are trying to resolve it. To sum up, the BB is a pretty capable phone with a few extras, Email etc. The IPhone is a good gadget with a (poor) phone built in. The Apps are great, but what about that battery life................. With a full charge, you will get a day & you are lucky, I am constantly looking for somewhere to plug it in

I bought from Rainworth just before Christmas, they were slightly better than the DTD quote.

Name & Shame them !

My version 5 has Lane assist

Xenons are a MUST in my opinion, along with maxidot, parking senors, heated leather, only thing I am not sure about on mine is the rain sensor & auto lights. Really not that impressed with it.

These are only usually held on with silicone sealer, you know where there is one , alternatively, any of the local aerial installers will sell you one.

Usual Ford Ferrous Beetle issues of Rot around suspension top mounts, battery tray, bulkhead/inner wing joint, inner sills. Engines can be a bit tappety, look for blue smoke, could be valve oil seals when cold, oil control rings when warm, neither cost a massive amount to fix (usually engine out for oil control rings). feel for driveline shunt & juddering on transmission take up from propshaft/rear axle. For something like this, if it looks right, then go with your gut instinct. HTH G

I ordered Silver rails with my new car, they are silver painted as opposed to alloy (as Audi/VW), it will probably be more cost effective to have them painted, this may not mean they have to be removed, it is a headlining out job I am afriad ! Cheers Graham

Thats the big advantage of shooting in RAW, all is not lost if you forget to change the WB settings.
