After 9 years and 6 months our original battery has died. Replaced with a Bosch S4 E05 640A 60Ah -EFB. I thought the old one was failing because the Stop Start failed so glad to say it now works again.

Have just completed the parcel shelf modification by following the guide above posted by fredw. Parts purchased from ebay for £10. Cheap and easy to do. Have managed for nearly 9 years but well worth doing.

WINGS have a couple SE models for sale (see link). Both steels with 165/70/14

What is your history with the car Louise27. Date registered ? Purchased from new ? Full Skoda service history ?

We are currently looking at various cars for my 18 year old daughter (no lessons taken yet). My eldest daughter drives a 1.2 i10 and my wife drives the Citigo. So we have looked prices and insurance for the older cars, Fabia mk1,KA, Micra etc etc and the newer models (2012) Suzuki Alto/Nissan Pixo, C1/Aygo/Pug, Mii/Up /Citigo, i10/Picanto. Budget is 4-5k (at the moment) and the best option in my opinion is the i10 Comfort but she prefers the square styling of the Citigo/Up/Mii which are out of the budget unless you buy a CATD. Interesting Insurance quotes too for all those listed above. Generally 700 (C1)to 900 (Fabia 1.2) with Diamond. Pretty good for new driver/owner. Highest for the same cars was £17,000 or 2,100 paid monthly. !! So the slow search will continue as it gives me a good excuse to be on car websites and forecourts.

Just been looking at the blue one on ebay. Looks very nice in that colour with the 'non' UK wheels. It does seem to sit high though. The price at £20,495 is steep but I guess a good discount is available.

Carbuyer video review

I have just done the Osram Night breaker plus and Mtec upgrade. Total outlay £21.50. Money well spent as it looks much better.

Ok call me paranoid ! In my earlier post #142 I mentioned that my engine will not rev over 4k when stationary but fine whilst driving. I only discovered this on Sunday due to hearing a metallic rattle at between 5-6k and wanted to investigate that noise whilst stationary inside my garage. So my question is; should this engine rev over 4k when stationary. Is this is normal or does Chilledboy and myself have a similar problem. Got my 4th main dealer service tomorrow. 2.0 tsi,Oct 09, Manual, 21,000 miles Thanks.

ChilledBud- my car will only rev to 4k when stationary (as I found out at the weekend when trying to listen for a noise). Assumed this is normal ? I also have a 'grasshopper/cricket sound at idle. Been like it virtually from new (4 years) and Skoda service not concerned. I am however nervous about this timing chain issue but just have to keep my fingers crossed.

There are some pictures on ebay. Someone is selling a set. Just search citigo trim and you will find them.

Our boot is the same- 3 painted caps. We have a sunroof and it has the reading lights.

The air distribution slider (under the fan speed switch) needs to be left. Ours is 1 wk old with 300 miles too and also has dirty inner sills. Just the design/location of the rubber seal. Therefore looks normal to me.

Thanks Owens. I would never have thought it would have a rear seat belt warning indicator but thats what it is. Must get my eyes tested ! Pid case- I was told it was in the box so will try and pick one up.
