Thanks numskull, really hepful. A sensor sounds like a strong possibility, the lights come on more often after rain. I wasn't sure if I was not finding garages because I was searching wrong or because there aren't any to find. I've just got to figure out the logistics of getting the kids (and enormous car seats) to from Aberaeron now. There is a great soft play near which will go well on the bribery front.

Hi, I've just joined the forum as it was recommended to me as a friendly and helpful place. Our car needs to go to the garage to be fixed, and I'm hoping for some advice on finding one We live near Aberystwyth, which means the nearest Skoda garages are all over 50 miles away. Last time we had a problem, we took the car to Anthony motors VW garage, as I've been told that VW garages are good with skodas. I wasn't happy with the service we had there. After a lot of (expensive) messing around, I gave up and went to Fred Rees Skoda in Haverfordwest. This is a long way. They at least were able to diagnose the problem and we got the car fixed. I'm sorry to admit I'm not very car savvy or tech savvy. I tried to use the VCDS map on this forum to search, but it thinks my postcode is somewhere in the South Atlantic. The problem is lots of warning lights, they all flash up, and the dashboard says, infotainment system unavailable, parkpilot unavailable, error cornering light and more I can't remember. Despite this, the car seemed to drive fine, until yesterday when I was driving slowly across a narrow bridge and it went a bit berserk. The traction control came on, it lurched between 5 and 10mph until I got off the bridge and stopped the engine. After restarting straight away, it drove home fine. Am I right in thinking that the garage needs to have the right computer to fix the car? I would really appreciate any help in finding a suitable local garage. Thanks

Helo Pawb I've joined as I've got a problem with my car, and I was told you are a helpful bunch. I'm off to work out which part of the forum to post in next.
