Ahhhh, cheers, just read the link. I'm 38 so can still do the direct access route as I intended but will defo look to push on and pass this year now.

Really? Why what's being introduced? Thanks for the heads up

Take my cbt on Sunday! Nervous but excited. I'm planning on doing the direct access route although I may change my mind depending on how I get on. I have ridden bikes a bit when younger, messing about on mates bikes (on private land of course) but that was ages ago when i didnt think about consequences. Im more nervous now. Just wondered if the many bikers on Brisky had any advice regarding their experiences of tests and any bikes they would recommend-I like the naked bikes like sv 650 or hornet but wonder if these are ok for beginners....thoughts and advice welcome.

An update on the above.........had the problem diagnosed at clay bank. It was ABS brake pressure sender fault. Had already discussed with soda uk who set up a case. When I spoke to Claybank about it they contacted soda uk and by the next day they had agreed to foot the whole bill even though I don't have full soda service history and havn't owned the car from new! Claybank had quoted £175 for the part alone. Skoda said that it was a fault which required no FSSH, apparently very uncommon. Well chuffed and glad I checked it out on Brisky 1st! On a sobering note, my battery is dead this morning and needs a new one...ho hum

Mine has just come on today when i returned to the car after work today.....im hoping its gone in the morning as i have just spent £2000 on the car-all routine stuff (insurance, MOT, Tax) and maintenance (service, breaks and cam belt). If not looks like i will try for the grovel approach.

cheers-its done 71k so needs doing. Awesome will do it for a much more reasonable price.

i hav 2007 0cty vrs. i was previously told by a skoda dealer it had a chain instead of timing belt. rang today and told it has a belt so needs changing-£525 including water pump....ouch! can anyone tell me if this sounds right? its aTFSI not a TSI ta Dan

smart except for the piece of rope (?) clinging to the back

noise i get is from front mirrors glad u like it

cheers will give it a try......just have to remeber how to reverse properly for now!

Gone but not forgotten...my gran 3 yrs ago.....yet to feel the pain of parents passing, peace to those who have.

Just kicked in today; when i select reverse, the sensor sounds a continuous beeeeeeeeeep! i have washed the car in case its dirt, no change.I rang local skoda (claybank) who said it would cost £90 to diagnose and then whatever on top to fix I did a quick search on brisky but no thread relevant. Anyone had this problem or ideas how to fix please? Car is MK2 octy vrs. Ta Dan

fur king heck 400bhp, no wonder it cost so much in juice! how does it handle? vrs look nice too by the way

Cheers steve....wanted more time trying out the camera but the kids and missus started to get bored and taking the peas out of me ("think your David Bailey do you?"), cant blame em really...how many times can a 7 yr old look at a car from different angles and not help but get bored? Now a grown man.......well i ran out of time rather than angles As for the F40 you can mod a capri with tack but an F40.....still wouldn't mind it hough

F1 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz BTCC Moto GP TT

there's another in august i think

and do you know Brimma.......i really liked it :| whatever next? a red grille maybe

Pics from show at tatton park today.

may be taking the plunge and getting a boxer pup, any advice welcome. had a boxer before but she was adult when we got her and relatively chilled. On a car related note can you get a divider (or whatever they are called) for the boot on hatchback? no way am i having a boxer on VRS seats, they will get wrecked! Cheers Dan

whats it like blue?

Tyler the creator, Goblin album, very dark and graphic, into work a bit puzzled :S

and what happened to the deer? one for the pot?

ooooops . sounds like an inside job.

Now you are just showing off! Thats a lot of gear.......im still using the kit lense i got with my eos550; whether i will ever end up with that many lenses, i doubt it although have got my eye on a load of pre-dslr/AF lenses from cannon as i believe they use same fittings. What camera you got with that lot then? and dont just say Nikon

Anyone tried these tires? got any octy 2 vrs and was overed em by ATS at £120 a corner. Are they any good? Got Vreds at the moment but noticed they have gone up in price from under £100 to £120 at Camskill.
