I can only say what it says in my screenshot off Facebook. £15 payable on entrance all money to charity. Auto Jumble sale £10 bookable in advance. The Skoda owners club site has the same info I believe, very basic. There are the competitions mentioned and a raffle

Such a shame looks like good cars not hanging around long. Search continues, fingers crossed.

L&K sounds lovely. Should be worth the trip 👍

Once you accept the offer the courtesy car will be expected to be returned or within 7 days of first use. It’s been a while can’t recall how it works. Makes it all the harder to find a replacement you really want rather than the first one you see. Such a pain when the accident was not even your fault. Hope it all works out for you

Accident Write Off.
Start haggling ASAP as cars are holding value well, get a good agreement. Use auto trader adverts saved. Clear your possessions for people start helping themselves to an open cars contents. Maybe you would consider buying it back and having it repaired yourself. Maybe more hassle than you want, though. But you know the car well and mileage is low, a keeper ?

Rear brake om Fabia with drum brakes.
Are you pointing out your garage never serviced the rear drums. Back when I had 1997 golf TDI mk3 around 2001. The specialist I used made a point to say they serviced the rear drums when main dealer never went near them. I always knew they were done as the brakes were so much better for several months, then went back to being horrendous as this car was so front heavy being a TDI lump under the bonnet.

Temp gauge can’t decide what the engine temperature is..?
Plus one for the DSG stat. Cheap to buy and very easy to replace yourself. Loads of write ups on the forum including mine

Front Springs
One of my fronts went last year and despite me asking the warranty/insurance to replace both at 160k they said it would not be a safety issue replacing one. I believe it is quite common on Superbs especially the rears. Small piece of mine broke off rattled for a while and fell off.

Rear Brake Caliper Piston Issue
Have you cracked open the bleed nipple and attached a tube to catch the emitted brake fluid once you start retracting the piston ?

Rear Brake Caliper Piston Issue
Not done mine yet but does the auto hold handbrake affect wind back of the pistons. Just a thought if a different method is required?

Rapid tapping/knocking sound (audio file attached)
Does this happen due to the incorrect oil usage @MicMacas one possibility ?

Alloy Wheels Luxon 18" for sale (1 wheel left)
I always thought they were thermisto on my S2. They really look identical to me now. Well I hope this will open up the search for the OP if anyone looking for wheels for their car, either of the 2 types. Sorry for hijacking your thread.
