Well, as a further bit of perspective and a note of caution, C19 hasn’t gone away, it is still a killer. 354 people died in the 3rd week of August with C19 listed as the direct cause. So please just make sure if you feel like you have ‘flu, Nick, and you don’t feel like you’re getting better in five days, please get to the hospital.

I’ve had C19 twice, Nick, the first in April 20 when I nearly died and in May this year, when it was like a heavy cold, but as I have long Covid, it knocked me for six in terms of exhaustion, but I’m ok now. Our son also had it for the first time in May, and he felt like the had flu, but recovered very quickly so hopefully you won’t be too bad.

I'm still on the original 6 year old battery and it still seems to be in good condition. I do use our CTEK MXS 5.0 to condition the battery every six months. No idea if it really does something, but the battery I bought in 2009 for our MKI was still running 11 years later.

I did, along with a Racechip GTS Black. That takes it in BS form to 330’ish BHP and 480’ish Nm. I have it set to Sport +2 and the acceleration in D is ridiculous, from SS (not Launch Control) and in the midrange. God alone knows what yours at Stage 3 must be like!

I agree AS; it’s exactly like it should have been stock. The Racechip XLR controller I have certainly makes a huge difference, especially eliminating that ridiculous, annoying and potentially very dangerous throttle lag.

If there’s no water pouring out from various areas, suggesting something is busted, I found this to work perfectly.

That’s true. And as you have heated / ventilated seats, make sure you have a thick rubber pad on the seat base to protect it, because the sharp edges on the steel clamp can easily damage the heating element and leave a permanent mark on the leather too. (It did both these things on our MKII). I’ve had laser tracking undertaken 4x by 4 different businesses and the steering wheel has been off too. Tracking is perfect - the original P7’s have covered 36,267 miles and they still have 2mm to go to the wear marks.

The info unit is colour on the L&K. Also, @Bigeater car is a 2017?

Just get the dealer to agree the tracking refund before you stick them with a bill. I only say that in case they want to asses the cars tracking first. Our 280 still has an off centre wheel to the left and it bugs the bejeesus out of me too, but the tracking is spot on.

Alas no, not on our 2016 280 unfortunately. Be good to know if it can be enabled on pre ‘17 units.

There was a post a few weeks ago in which member @Bigeater showed a pic of his info screen giving full journey information as per the pic below and thanks to Bigeater for this. My 280 does not have this available; well I’ve been through the manual and can’t see it mentioned, so was this only available on post 2016 vehicles or is something with can be enabled?

Does anyone know if this journey information is only available on post 2016 SIII or can it be enabled on all SIII models?

Errr, no. I’ve been assured by a certain QW that flapped cars are now achieving £750-1000 over non-flapped cars… 😁

Ive used the TW polish and wax which is amazing. What’s the performance of the Ceramic & Graphene Paste Wax like?

Brilliant, thanks Bap33. 👍🏻

Baps?? As in burger or other baps? 😳

I like that journey info! Is it only available on 2017> vehicles or something you can enable on all MKIIIs?

Interesting. How did you get the tick on the Columbus?

Our 2016 280 did exactly this last year and it was a failed rear wheel speed sensor.

Weird. Just to double-check, I’ve just switched it out of circuit and went for a drive and the initial depression lag where nothing happens has definitely gone in all settings. It was bloody awful to drive it again stock! 😂

You haven’t noticed the initial throttle lag has gone in all settling, where nowt happens when depressing the pedal for the first CM or so? This has completely disappeared on our 280, even on “E” (which makes it accelerate like a Morris 1300 automatic!). Maybe it’s a different DBW unit to those in the 1.4/5 units?

I think all owners of DCC equipped Superb 3's would love this mod!

On a return trip home from Cairnryan a couple of weeks ago, I got an average of 41.09mpg. Delighted with that.

Sorry for the late reply - it's the diagram stating the tailgate is open.

Ahh right. Yep, you're right; they're the culprits! I haven't permanently removed them as they're so much better than the original ones, but I discovered if I switch off Stop/Start, the issue goes away; how odd is that??
