Unfortunately, the closest Costco is a 20 mile round trip, thus eliminating any potential saving.

I’m now around 5k Nick, but even so, that’s still nearly £2,000 @ avg 25mpg.

1/2 (34l) tank of Momentum99 at Tesco New Malden one month ago today = £1.75pl. 1/2 (36l) tank Momentum99 at Tesco New Malden today = £1.97pl. It’s absolutely feckin ridiculous. Wish I still had my 1962 NSU Quickly…🙄

Hate it when that happens… Hate it when that happens… 😂

1,220 280/272’s sold from launch to date in the U.K. 614 of those are L&Ks.

They look much better than the OE ****e stickers which I removed very quickly.

Well, it won’t be exactly like a fully-loaded car, because by adding these, there will be always be higher compression on the top of the bearing.

Don’t spacers put additional strain on wheel bearings?

Check the vehicle status in the same central display and see if anything is logged.

Nice wheels; darn sight easier than cleaning the Trinitys on ours with their small gaps.

Yet another reason why I think the traditional dealership days are numbered. They add no real value, are costly to support and most provide dreadful customer service and expensive vehicle servicing and repair costs. So one can understand why Avril Palmer-Baunack’s Constellation group (webuyanycar, BCA and Cinch) have bought the Marshall Motor Group. I suspect the direct-to-customer web-based route will become more prevalent and the locations will just be there for servicing.

Yeah, and it was around that speed Ap - so 57/60mph - on the MKI PD140 Elegance and the MKII CR170 Elegance when I’d get IRO 70mpg with both. That speed was fine at 05.00 and 16.30 when I used to do a 110 mile round trip from Home to Reading and back everyday. Wouldn’t want to do those speeds on a long leisure trip though cos at 75-80 returning a genuine 35mpg is ok with me.

^^^ Exactly the same here. I Didn’t buy a car with 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine with 276 bhp, a DSG box and 4WD for great fuel consumption. When I’m working, it’s four 2.5 mile trips 5 days a week and I get 21-23mpg. On a 1,400 mile round trip to Ireland, I averaged 34.6. On the motorways at 75-80 I was getting average 38. I used to get similar mpg on our 1985 2.0 Fiat Supermirafiori with 111bhp so there you go.

Green, Green, White so = normal.

Perhaps this’ll help.

The 7 litre as I bought it for £30 on Nextdoor.

L&K has more goodies if, of course, they’re important to you. If they are and you can afford the difference, I’d go for the L&K, or you’ll keep wondering why you didn’t. It was a easy for me as I wanted heated seats all round, as the family had enjoyed those on the MKI. The fact it also had a TV, ventilated seats, rear seat release, a cream interior, 276bhp and I knew the original owner, how he kept it and it’d only covered 18k, all made it a no brainer.

Since buying a Race glaze water filter, I have no issues with white spots any longer. To extend its efficiency, I’m running a separate outside tap from the home filtered water this weekend, which will make the bloody expensive resin last longer.

I’ve just searched and I can’t find any reference to polarised windows being fitted to Skoda vehicles. I’ve just checked mine and there’s no sign of Polarised jaggies when looking through any of the windows and there’s no issue with the polarising filter on the rear dashcam either. Do you think it might be something to do with the auto-dimming mirror/s?

Wow - when were Polarised windows introduced to the S3?

Yep, the oil supplier recommended simply depends on the deal which is done corporately by VW/Skoda. It was Shell on the 2006 and 2011 Superbs we owned. That deal extends to the bulk oil purchased by the authorised dealers so they get an advantageous purchase price and I'd presume upon which VW then get an annual sales rebate.

I had ours on pretty much continual charge from Sept to April. Given its 6.5 years old, I guess it’s due to go kaput any time soon.

I had ours pretty much on continual charge from Sept to April and given it’s 6 years old I’m expecting it to fail anytime soon.
