There has been thousands of vehicle stored in the open at Southampton port for at least 15 years to my personal knowledge, so probably much longer. Also from the M5 driving past Avonmouth you can see thousands of vehicles stored in the open portside.

Don't now if this applies but, there's no synchromesh on reverse so if you select reverse while still rolling forward, or even a couple of seconds after coming to a stop, then the non-synchromesh gears will make a noise as they try to mesh whilst one is still rotating.

The owner of the sub-post office where I used to live in Southampton owned a De Lorean which he was gradually turning into a Back To The Future replica, it would often be parked outisde his sub-post office which always made it a good day!

Race management in F1 this year is becoming even more farcical than it was in 2021 IMHO.

The majority of the media only show celebs getting in & out of the EVs, they're too taken in by the hype to look behind the scenes and see the diesel generators. I suspect only programmes like Panorama could be interested in stories like this as yet another example of greenwashing.

It almost feels like the FIA is trying to punish the drivers by over zealously implementing rules that have been in place for years but implemented sensibly up to now - maybe for pointing out so publicly the appalling state of race management in 2021?

That's what I had to do to reset the one-touch windows on my 2015 Octavia.

@pab567

I can't see any sawtoothing there, which IMHO rules that out.

Can you post a picture of the tread please? That's where any sawtoothing will be visible.

That code has caused confusion over many years, it isn't actually a measure of oil quality but the flag that the instruments use to indicate whether the car is on fixed or variable servicing. 1 = Bad = Fixed Servicing 2 = Good = Variable Servicing

As per the suggestion from @MarkyG82also take a look at all the tyres for sawtoothing - that's been reported to be the cause of strange noises several times on here.

Stick a piece of sellotape over the lock window, this fools the switch in the drive to think the card is unlocked.

I saw all the contact photos from an iPhone 11 Pro on a MIB1 Amundsen in a 2015 Octavia.

The thing is that in the event of hitting a pedestrian they will likely impact the bonnet area, not the roof area so what you have on the roof rack is likely to be of less concern from a legal point of view.

Can you do that on an Octavia IV? I didn't think there was a 12V socket, and it certainly won't work on a USB-C socket.

... or should be. There would be no harm checking that the seal is complete while the light is out.

Given the weakness of the GPS satellite signals and the high levels of electric field that the EMP simulator can produce it doesn't surprise me that GPS signals are unpredictable at times. When I worked at an automotive consultancy we did EMC testing and some of the behaviours we saw on prototype vehicles at field strengths seen on public roads were quite exciting - e.g. folding headlights going up and down in anti-phase!

Sounds like the sat nav was basing that diversion on out-of-date congestion data on the M5?

Sounds like the dealership and/or salesperson trying to maximise their July bonus and minimise the time between them paying the Skoda importer for the car and you paying them for it?

I just have a NAS drive connected via Ethernet to a port on the router; this can be accessed by my W8.1 PC, W11 tablet, macOS MacBook and iOS iPhone.

Wideband lambda sensors are also fitted to some Skoda engines such as the EA211 1.4TSI and 1.5TSI.

What phone do you have and what OS version? The earlier versions of iOS on iPhone didn't share contact pictures, don't know about Android...

Can you connect the car to your phones hotspot?

It's not, my brother has a Vauxhall Zafira with an athermic windscreen (so he had to mount his Emovis Liber-t tag in the specially marked area) which definitely is not heated.
