I'm not in Dorset that weekend, otherwise would have dropped by.

The document (I can see it) does show finance. The finance shown is typical for any newish used car, dealers tend to buy all their cars on finance and then pay that agreement off when they sell the car. Very common in the industry and is nothing to worry about. The finance is known as Unit Stocking. If you check in a few weeks, possibly this time next month the then car should show no outstanding finance. This thread https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1575056 is one of many pages on Google with the same subject.

Its simple really. When you unlock your car, the radio starts powering up in the background. By the time you come to start your car the radio is ready, so no logo as its already booted up, SD Card, Bluetooth etc. all ready to go. Now if you do not start the car, after about 15 minutes it all powers off to save battery. So lets say you now start the car, (remember its now been unlocked for 15 minutes). The radio now powers on from scratch, so you will see the Skoda logo whilst the system boots (just like your home PC Bios screen). The SD card needs reading, Bluetooth initialising etc. All this takes time, so boot up takes longer.

With PCH you pay a deposit, and then rent the car for duration of the term. At the end you have no option to buy the car, so you give it back and have nothing to show for it except being ££££ out of pocket. With PCP you at least get the chance to pay the balloon payment and keep the car. I believe the PCH is also much harder to get out of mid term, although not sure. So you may need to keep the car for the full term, unlike HP/PCP where you can pay whats owed and walk away. PCH works for some, in fact I am looking into it for my next car.

Translation is easy for this. Hello I have Bolero 5E0035842A Hardware:040 Software: 0421 Can someone please send me the update Thank You Answer: Send a Private message to aki78 or search youtube as per an earlier post.

A lot of cars get damaged during delivery, from all marques and lots of happy new car owners unknowingly driving previously damaged cars on the road.

Volvo still going well, following the suspension work for the MOT she is quieter than ever to drive and the MPG has improved. Ovlov now manages to get almost 650 miles from a tank of diesel, it is a shame that as its a 2003 car it will soon be plagued with nobody wanting it due to emissions penalties. Also just renewed insurance, 2 years NCD, fully comp £195 with Tesco. Admiral wanted almost double, and could not get anywhere near Tesco.

Coming along Rob, Looks like its been 2 years nearly in the making now. I bet you can't wait to drive it around NZ.

I just turned up at Progress Skoda Letchworth this morning and went out for a test drive in the Kodiak, and then a manual Octavia 1.4TSI. No problem at all, both cars driven with no salesman in the car. Was just passed the keys, a quick demo of the controls and off I went.

Poole Audi run an article on Facebook about the Audi Quattro coming back into a limited production run.

Many others will dissagree and it is why FM switch off has been delayed indefinitely. Sales of DAB radios in the UK are very low, and there is one main reason for that and its sound quality and coverage. I like to listen to music in Stereo on FM rather than 64kbps in Mono from a lot of DAB stations. The UK system is poor compared to the rest of the EU, we are stuck using 1980s MP2 technology rather than the rest of the EU which have dumped it in favour of DAB+ which uses more modern AAC encoders. Most new DAB radios support both, but we in the UK will never fully switch to DAB+ because none of the DAB radios sold in the 1980s, 1990s and early to mid 2000s support it. DAB in the UK is not new, it was launched nearly 30 years ago as a premium product promoting good sound quality. DAB stations used to be 256kbps and sounded great back then until the money grabbers cottoned on, and now its quantity of quality just like on Freeview and Satellite TV. I dont know the Irish situation as a lot of the country is rural and hilly so coverage could be very patchy.

Shame the turnout was so low Jason, had I been around then I would have come along. I guess the track time was the big draw on previous events based on the number of cars left on the stand during the track sessions. Maybe Combe will realise their pricing policy this time round has cost them in the longer run.

Thats interesting, only thing stopping me ordering was that I want to see, sit in and drive it to know its for me before putting down cash. The last thing I want is to discover the car does not suit my driving style, or I dislike that high driving position.

I've put my name down for attending the Progress Skoda launch event where they will have a car to test drive. I dropped by the Letchworth branch a couple of weeks ago and spoke to one of the salesmen. The first car they are getting as a demo will be diesel powered. A few weeks later, but after the launch event they will be getting a 1.4 TSI petrol. I put my name down the day they announced the event, not heard back yet but its still 2 weeks away.

Not sure to be honest on the Android side of things, it looks like the S7 and S7 edge have issues with AVRCP as well.

The problem is the hardware chip inside the device rather than App based.

The problem is not the app but the phone, I am guessing the Galaxy S6 does not support the required bluetooth protocol to allow control and the iPhone does. The protocol/profile for controlling remote bluetooth devices is known as AVRCP. The iPhone fully supports AVRCP, not sure on the S6 and Android.

Whole rear anti-rollbar from Volvo as bushes not available separately, and balljoint. Lower front arms need replacing at some point.

And now we are back in business with a shiny new MOT. Been out for a quick run this evening and it drives like a different car, all the clunks from the front have gone.

Time for another update on the Volvo. Today was MOT day, and I was expecting it to fail. It did fail, but not for the reasons I thought it would. So the following are now being sorted and I should get the car back tomorrow. Now on 172K miles, I have attached a couple of pictures from the weekend just gone.

Because firmware updates are officially dealer only and should never be in the public domain, the links posted at the start of this thread have been removed as they should have never been in the public domain and breach forum rules. There is a reason they are not public, if the update goes wrong then your dealer is not going to want to know and you'll be left with a headunit that will not be fixed by a dealer.

I am selling my old turntable, it is in full working order. Reason for sale, I've just bought a newer better specification one as I've just got back into Vinyl again. The Debut II was marketed quiet a few years ago now, I cannot find the receipt but this one is around 10-12 years old. Fitted with Ortofon Cartridge with good genuine stylus it had little use until recently. Lid has a few fine scratches, but it is old. Full details here, from where I purchased it. http://www.superfi.co.uk/p-4215-discontinued-project-debut-ii-turntable.aspx Looking for £50, but for that you will need to collect from the Blandford area in Dorset, or Stevenage area in Hertfordshire. Remember this is no cheap Crosley, this will not damage your records and the sound quality when connected to a Hifi is fantastic. You will need either an amp with built-in Phono stage or you will require an external Preamp for MM cartridges so you can use a standard Aux-in.

Thanks for the support, Skoda have asked for links to be removed in the past so we try and kill them when they are spotted or reported now, so no links please in public.

Does not look to bad, shame it's still using a spinning disk instead of SSD. If you don't need the storage then see if they can change the 1TB HDD to a 512GB SSD, the speed difference is night and day.

AMD research and development are a bit behind the times as they simply don't have the budget intel does. The current range of Intel processors leave the older AMD range in their wake.
