WRCSixtyThree replied to goonybird's topic in Cars For Sale
Very tempted to put the Superb up for sale now... Miss my WRC. -
Sat Nav DX - Firmware Update possible?
WRCSixtyThree replied to Parapadakis's topic in Skoda Superb Mk I (2001-2008)
Ah. In which case no, I don't think you can. I doubt a CD based system would be able to store 7-d postcode accurate maps. -

You can search by postcode. Enter the first part of the postcode (i.e. CB11 1) into the 'Town' field in the destination entry. -
Welcome to Briskoda. eBay will be your first port of call. Any DX navigation CD will do the job, whether it's Skoda branded or not. The DX unit by Blaupunkt was fitted in loads of things including Mercs, VAG group and others. Depending on how up to date you want, second hand discs appear regularly at varying prices. Don't bother wasting time with a 'backup' (stolen/pirate/dodgy copy) CD, all they're good for is wearing out the CD reader apparently.

Should pedestrians be responsible? Churchill ins. appeal
WRCSixtyThree replied to heresmo's topic in General Automotive Chat
Highway Quite right. Highway code 'Rules for Pedestrians' At 13, if she was old enough to go to places like the stables by herself, and ride horses (in itself a risky business) by herself, she was old enough to follow a few simple bits of guidance. Yes, it's tragic, but ultimately she has to bear some of the responsibility for the accident, just as the driver does. -
Peculiar findings after buying a car
WRCSixtyThree replied to painejake's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Found several Viagra tablets in the spare wheel well with the jack in my Dad's Range Rover when he bought that. -
I'm afraid two tyres aren't worth that much to me if the wheels won't fit my car!

AR Designed Octavia MK1
WRCSixtyThree replied to Stormchaser's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Crikey... Dawn of the dead. They both look about as appealing as a breakfast bowl of warm sick. -
Damn. I thought as much as you're in a Fabia, but worth asking, especially since you're only a mile up the road.

Can DVLA Save the Planet . . . Please ?
WRCSixtyThree replied to Clunkclick's topic in General Automotive Chat
Reminds me of last time I went in for one with a green slip. Me: "I don't normally do this, usually do it online" Post Office Lady (POL): "You should come in here and support the Post Office, or we'll be closed because no one uses us" Me: "I might be more inclined to if I didn't have to queue for fifteen minutes" POL: "Well, we're always busy you know!" Me: "errrrr...." -

Don't forget of course, that for every tax disc issued, there's at least twice as much paper again binned from where we tear it out. Bearing in mind that we're incapable of moving forward quickly in the UK, how about a small step - wouldn't a square 'disc' be a more effective use of resources? -
What's the PCD and offset? are they 5x100?

I guess that's a hard lesson learned then eh? Sorry if I sound like a grumpy old sod here. We've all been there.
