I have the same situation and the same answer. Almost the same dates too!

Same car, same noise

Try Lassa Excellent tyres

Try the ticket holder - it took me ages to identify it in my Yeti.

Did the same thing last July from '54 D3 to Yeti. For the same reasons as yourself. Loved the D3 and had it from 9 months old. Plenty went wrong in 8 years and while I could rebuild a Defender from chassis up, it's much more difficult with a D3 - everything seems to need setting up with a computer diagnosis thing, etc.. It just got depressing, and when the transmission locked up completely it was too much. Yeti is lovely, then think of what I miss about the D3 - think again about what I have just written - Yeti is lovely again! It performed brilliantly on Christmas Eve to rescue a friend stuck on the far side of Killhope felltop (A689) in the snow, the Offroad button for hill descent works as well as the D3 did. It is our 8th Skoda, we also replaced the Roomster with another in April. The rest of the family got a Fabia and Citigo as well. Thanks to Telfords Carlisle for great service Weardale Co. Durham
