vrs442

have a LE vrs with the hopeless TD wheels, have manage to scuff one and wanted a quick temp repair - does anyone know what the nearest halfords touch up colour is Thanks

thats good to know as i have had the same thing happening and did think its strange as its been so cold recently.

I ordered the Van style ones for a Estate a few weeks ago, really easy to fit and look good too. They came really quickly - just a few days. Just need some sun now lol

I havent used meadens for full service yet but a few warranty returns and they were ok. Have to admit asked them to investigate a problem with a LE wheel and never got back to me after several emails and calls, to be honest that has pretty much made me rethink using them for any other work, which is a bit of a shame. The after sales has been pretty crap all round. I used Sparshatts for my scooby and would never use them again, a real bunch of useless idiots, curbed alloys and damaged the rear bumper. Looks like i will be heading winchester way if people have had good experiences. Regards J

hi did you have any luck with the customer services route, i tried today and got the round around, now trying through the dealer. I was basically told the best way is to try getting the money out of the local council :( You can me to list

i tow a caterham on a BJT and its really nice, pulls away nicely and braking is fine. I usually get 48mpg and found fully loaded up spare set of tyres, tent and spares/tools with caterham on the tralier i was still getting 38mpg mix of motorway and country roads

i was going to put a bit of sticky foam where it rests against the pillar should deaden the thud. I had a golf hire car and noticed the seatbelts in that have a tab sown on the belt which stops it happening basically hangs over the buckle and stops it hitting the pillar

i have noticed a small ding in one of mine causing a bulge in the tyre only done 5k miles in the car and always been very careful. has any one got a pic of a estate octavia with the rs4 type wheel on it as thinking of swapping

I bought one 6 months ago from Meadens in Sway and have been very pleased. Mine is the TDI estate though. I know meadens had about 6 at the time. Funny i went from Impreza WRX wagon to the Skoda and havent regretted it, although it doesnt have the driving ability of the scooby its better built, more comfortable and affordable to run in the current climate. The Impreza was a stunning car to drive though

I have bought from Meadens and used them for few bits (service department) they have been very good, in fact very different from Sparshatts where i got my Scooby and had all the service work done, in fact sparshatts are pretty badly thought of in scooby circles.

i have just had mine replaced under warrantee, as it was very erratic in operation would work fine then just stop altogether. Was told the motor was failing so they replaced it.

i have just bought a 12v socket to mount in the top cubby, for the sat nav. how easy is it to take out the top cubby box and is it possible to run the cables from there to the fuse box you shown above, as that looks like a neat way to get a live connection thanks jas

I changed mine over yesterday and found you had to pull on the aerial whilst unscrewing as it just seemed to turn and not release otherwise. I have noticed the new stuby one was much longer exposed thread so cut of about 3mm of thread it seems to work fine. Also the new one has solid thread, but the one i removed OEM had a hollow end with small prong, just wondering why as the base does seemed to ve any thing else. Also the new stuby one doesnt closed down as flush as the oem aerial, although it now looks much much better. Jas

Hi I have looked at the different options available for the octavia and come across this unit Zenec ZE-NC2010, it seems to fit almost all other VAG cars but the Zenec skoda offerings are all mono display unlike this one. Just wondering if anyone has fitted one - I have the 2009 Limited edition VRS, and was hoping it might be a straight drop in and connect - also does it combine with the maxidot display etc. Any assistance much appreciated Jas
