The 10% plus 2 mph is at the discretion of individual Chief Constables, some forces have hinted that they might be applying 5% plus 1 mph.

That's how my 2007 RS4 felt with the factory fit Pirelli PZero Rosso tyres 🙄

Try turning WiFi off and back on on your phone, this has fixed CarPlay problems for me a couple of times.

That certainly wasn't true in England, the MOT validity date was extended by 6 months for MOTs due to expire between March 30th 2020, and July 31st 2020 but this was never repeated or extended. Covid MOT Extension

Don't forget that the cornering lights only operate up to a certain speed, so if there is a problem with the speed signal from the ABS then the cornering lights will be disabled.

Sounds to me like the code scanner will most likely show a problem with a wheel speed sensor - all of the systems showing an error need to know vehicle speed to operate correctly so a faulty wheel speed sensor IMHO is the most likely root cause.

As Omniking suggests, go to another dealer - I know from personal experience that there are some truly dreadful Skoda dealers as well as some good ones.

I wouldn't be so sure, as I said above the PS4 and PS4S are, in my experience, very sensitive to alignment - cheaper to get that checked (and corrected if necessary) than buy a whole new set of tyres?

On some older Fords the ignition switch & lock was held onto the key section by thermoplastic clips, so a few moments with a cigarette lighter and the ignition lock disengaged and the switch was free to turn by hand to start the car - got this demonstrated by a member of the Met Police Vehicle Crime Squad!

The previous Octavia 3 managed it, and it wasn't confusing to use?

When I commuted on the M27 (before the 'smart motorway' fiasco) between Southampton and Portsmouth or Southampton and Romsey I counted myself lucky to get to 40mph, so maybe the 60mph limit is of academic concern?

+1 to both of those comments. Dealers will usually only retrofit where the factory offer a complete kit with instructions - and no such kit exists for the halogen to Xenon upgrade. My best experience with uprated (and road legal) halogen bulbs is with Osram Night Breaker Laser bulbs. P.S. Don't go the LED retrofit route as they will be an MOT fail as the halogen headlamps are not marked for approval with any bulb type except halogen.

I had many different tyres on my previous Audi RS4 - by some distance the PS4 and PS4S were the best in terms of grip, ride, handling and lifetime so @The Wandererexperience seems strange to me and suggests something may be amiss such as tracking and alignment (they are very sensitive to tracking and alignment). The other tyres I had were: Pirelli PZero Rosso, Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 5 and Vredestein Sessanta. P.S. The PZeros Rosso' were SO BAD I vowed never to buy another Pirelli tyre again - zero wet grip, unpredictable dry handling and ridiculously short lifetime - even the 'cheapo' Vredesteins were miles better.

That's not the whole truth, if you don't change the battery serial number the BMS will assume the old battery is still fitted and will still try to manage it as such (possibly including load shedding) - after some time (several hundred miles has been mentioned) it will 'twig' that a new battery has been fitted and start learning the new battery characteristics. Changing the serial number will start that relearning immediately.

To be legal Xenon headlamps have to have headlamp washers and self levelling too - so you need to add the headlamp washers, and replace the manual levelling switch with the height sensors and the module to interface to them.

Welcome, I used to live in north Devon and had a 2015 1.4TSI Elegance estate - good choice of location and car 😄

1. There is a button labelled 'PTCD' (in the lower left IIRC) that appears when you are entering a destination. 2. Map updates can be downloaded from the Skoda portal (or from direct links posted on here), make sure you download the Amundsen MIB1 update that includes the UK. I always save the contents of the SD card to a PC hard drive, then quick format the card (FAT32 with 2K cluster size) and having unzipped the downloaded file copy all the unzipped contents onto the SD card. Insert the SD card into either of the SD slots in the glovebox and wait - sometimes I had to remove and reinsert the SD card for the Amundsen to correctly identify it as maps.

Not all of us who are Leo's born with Leo rising have the same approach to life.

No option to reduce my driving as I'm 'next of kin' for a relative who is in hospital 120 miles from where I'm living. In the last 3 weeks it has snowed twice and been several morning frosts where I'm staying so turning the heating off hasn't been an option, but I have turned it down 2 degrees. Having said all that, I'm doing everything possible to avoid giving any support, financial or moral, to any Russian or Belarussian people or organisations.

Which years? August 2021 and September 2022 (or September 2023?).

Which is why any person or organisation who are connected to the National Grid and does not generate more than the energy they consume who claims that they use 100% renewable energy is quite simply a liar. My power systems lecturer during my Electronic & Electrical Engineering degree was excellent at debunking false claims ☺️

What models are you considering? Some (most) comments will be model specific.

It's an Amundsen, so all it needs is the correct Skoda SD card (note it MUST be a Skoda SD card not a 'vanilla' SD card).

The only way any consumer can use 100% certified renewable energy is if they are connected to a (non existent) parallel version of the National Grid. I have no doubt they PAY for 100% renewable energy to be placed ONTO the National Grid, but that is not the same as USING 100% renewable energy. The electrons don't know who paid for them to be placed onto the grid, they just take the path of least resistance meaning whatever you pay for is unrelated to what you use and is determined by the combination of network path resistance and generating sites closest to you able to meet the demand. Anyone who says they USE 100% renewable energy because they PAY for 100% renewable energy simply does not understand how the flow of electricity works, and if the make public declarations that they use 100% renewable energy then they are guilty of false advertising.
