Please, Please ! Just let me try !!! 😂

But I could live with it ....

Probably cheaper to fill up with triple shot Amaricano ....

Yeah when you look at it like that ! I always thought my weekend car would be an F-Type not a Skoda Estate !! 🤣

I only do about 6k a year thank god ...

I’ve just filled up and for the first time fuel was over 2 quid a litre… Cars never seen anything other than 99Ron but I’m seriously considering alternating tanks now with 95. Crazy times.

Exhaust flap failure .... May as well buy a new one .. p.s this may not be true ..

0114 2701111 - Here you go give 'em a call and ask ..

Dunno they were the dealers exact words …

Wow I had to wait 3 months for mine and I thought that was a ling time ! Not sure I would have the patience to wait 10 + !

It knows and will wait until the worst possible moment …

5/10 If you had found a clip of it saying ' Danger unclerichy' I would have been impressed and you would have earned a solid 8.5/10 ....

Looks like i've been a very naughty boy ! Mine had never seen a charger ! Sorry old Battery you were one of the good 'uns 😞

Yeah I had absolutely no warning ! It was fine yesterday then overnight that was it. No dash warnings or anything. Funny because a couple of weeks ago I was saying to the Mrs we should think about replacing it. Last battery I purchased was 70 quid a big Varta for a TVR so it was a bit of a shock when I found it was going to cost me £200 ! ... But 7 years cant complain I wonder if it would have lasted as long if I used stop / start.

Ta popped into Halfrauds and for once they did a decent job. Plus I found 70 quid on a gift card that helped…

Mind you didn’t have any warnings of low charge just didn’t want to start.

Morning guys looks like my battery has died overnight ! should have kept more of an eye on it really it is 7 years old … Going away tomorrow so hoping I’m not screwed … Does anything fancy need to be done to the car or can I just buy and fit a new battery ? ta !

100% better than my Latvian !! 😆

last sentence of my post ‘I have zero interest in changing and cant think what I would replace it with if I did.’

It is

Not sure what to make of that post lol !

Car will be 7 years old ( 38k ) in October and glad to report that it's wearing pretty well. All leather is still in great condition with no real wear noticeable on any of the interior even the glossy piano is in pretty decent condition with 1 small scratch thanks to the dealer for that one. Exterior the paint although could do with a machine polish is very good with the odd stone chip but nothing excessive. The silver trim has that cloudy appearance that seemed to appear very early in ownership and nothing seems to remove. The black shiny trim has a lot of small scratches but can only be seen up close. Few problems with creaky suspension that seems to be cured now its not happened for a couple of years. Tailgate struts failed. DSG Lever park problem all repaired under warranty. Last couple of years i've been offered the full warranty for around £360 if I have that offer again I will be taking it up. I have zero interest in changing and cant think what I would replace it with if I did.

I've certainly changed my habits as regards to the tailgate. I would open and close it at the beginning and end of every single journey to plug the rear dash cam into the 12v socket. I only plug the cam in now if I'm going to open the tailgate for something which is not that often ...

Maybe of use to someone but I've had both my struts replaced using my extended warranty in year 6. Would have cost over a grand apparently.

RTFM ! 😆 Try opening fully then press and hold the open button on the tailgate until it beeps. That should reset the height and it should be OK.... Hopefully ...
