  1. Milton Keynes unit18 automotive Google them.
  2. Someone like AA/RAC May be able to help. I have no experience myself
  3. Spigen branded cases for protection.
  4. What I really meant to say. Regular cleaning of internal glass helps reduce the morning fog you can also get. Plus when car fully loaded with people creates issues. I also don’t drive around with a boiling hot car 20-21 degrees max on heating. My car defo let’s water into door seals and boot seal. Got to the stage I just learn to live with it as it’s a second car. I don’t like driving it in the winter. I bought a superb 2 with heated front screen to reap the benefits of it for these situations. I tried those Pingi dehumidifier bags not sure they worked all that well. Good luck.
  5. Typical this time of year for this to happen. Give windscreen a good clean and get rid of all moisture retaining items. I have not managed to solve this on my octy. Thankfully I don’t drive to work at silly o’clock in the morning anymore.
  6. Welcome back, been a little quiet on the forum since you left. Looking forward to some interesting content 👍
  7. So that’s why you changed up to a Skoda to cash in? Most used cars increased in value so surely buying one now also costs more?
  8. What happened that was short lived. You been over to the dark side a few times and come back to Skoda ?
  9. A lot of people also removed these from their LE cars in favour of other wheels, you may get lucky finding spares on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-OCTAVIA-VRS-LIMITED-EDITION-2005-2012-ALLOY-WHEELS-225-40-18-SET-/115147681811?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Have you considered getting it repaired professionally?
  10. Happy Birthday Brisky!
  11. Common issue on DSG cars. Which do you have ?
  12. Pretty sure in the maxidot you need to say you want the phone to be a media player. Take a look under media player after you press the phone button on the steering wheel. Been a long while since I had to play with these settings
  13. Or on my superb2 set it to only wash every 10th time rather than every 3rd, something like that.
  14. Put the registration into Autotraders sell page it gives you a guide price plus do a search for others on the market.
  15. Isn’t there an known problem with wiring loom on twin door superbs? Can you do a search?
  16. Not come across speaker issues usually locks or windows stop working first. Maybe you need to be absolutely sure before you start chopping a perfect loom. The kit is a good alternative to a genuine loom and associated labour. Plus soldering and lengthening the existing broken cables are an option.
  17. It’s made for the job but I used to prefer a plug socket with appropriate extension bar and ratchet (1/2” drive) to get the leverage to remove the plug.
  18. It’s not always visible as wires can be broken inside. It’s a very common issue as you can see from other threads on here. So you may need to test cables for a break. From what I recall certain wires break before others.
  19. This is the post regarding repairs Plus another post
  20. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/496144-drivers-door-harness-issue-not-enough-connectors-on-the-replacement-😡/ one I located
  21. Do a search on here there are repair kits which allow you not to have to replace the whole loom on eBay someone did this in here also . The genuine loom is expensive. Also you could have the old wires soldered. I had the loom replaced at the dealer.
