HELP! DRL not working on my Skoda Roomster 2007
Hi B, did the DRLs work before? I had a 2008 Roomster and that didn't have any fitted, i fitted some myself. It also didn't have Auto lights either.

Right, so you dont want to be stuck doing 50mph with a caravan. Thats why i got a full size spare.

Hi D, if your doing towing I would suggest getting a full size wheel and tyre.

Do I need a locking wheel nut key?
Hi A, nut, not you, might get one local tyre fitter, they often have some just lying around. Wheel and toolkit, ebay, or someone might have some on this or for sale site.

Spare wheel or not that is the question
Spare wheel, always.

Painting Hubs.
Hi L, dont want to get too complicated, two wheels off the ground 🤔
-
Painting Hubs.
So its ok to put DSG in neutral without runnig engine, and not getting all the signs come up on dash telling you how stupid you are.

Painting Hubs.
Recently fitted some new wheels, so i thought, hubs need tidying up, rust, shouldn't take long, whip wheel off, paint hub, put wheel back on. Now this is my first DSG, on a Scout, and didn't really think about it till i got the paint out. How do i paint where the brake calipers are, put wheel back on, put two bolts back in, drop jack, move car, jack car back up, take wheel off, paint hub, put wheel back on, bolts back in, drop jack, all this on four wheels. I may be missing something here, is it more simple than that? 🤔

Short number plates fit? Mk3.5 vrs
Hi S, your right, its not illegal. I think TW was talking about the silver on black number plate. I was pulled over once for having such plates, but i was in a 1973 car, it was registered before the new type number plate law came in. Have a safe journey sir. 🚔

Bit like tfspark, car was great by itself, but towing, it was like being on a boat on the sea. 🤮

Locking Wheel Nut
Hi N, yes yes, you've got everything, but have you located the locking wheel nut on the wheels? The cover for the locking wheel nut is easy to spot, its round, they were on mine.

Newbie needing some advice please.
Hi K, the only thing I can help you with is, the polystyrene insert, i had to shave off the bits that stick out to make it fit, easy job, but just take your time to make it look neat. After all that, i just realised you have 16in wheels, mine are 17in. You may have to put tools in a wrap?

Roomster Scout (2010) Tow bar electric question
My 2008 Scout had a removable panel, i do think it was specifically for fitting a tow bar. When my tow bar was fitted, it was linked to the fuse box at the front. There is a picture of it somewhere on the site, it was fitted in 2018.

Was only a small part, but had also ordered a part that was long, that was the part I had to get a refund for.

Lookin good for a '96'. 👍

"Dynamic" indicators
Didn't know you could get blue one's. Might be worth fitting some in the front grill ready for the traffic jams when we all go on holiday. 🤔🤣

"Dynamic" indicators
Mine didn't show properly in the reflector next to the mirror from Ali.

"Dynamic" indicators
As above. 🙄

Towing with a VRS 245
Concerns. 1, Dont worry about other people. 2, Should not think there would be a problem, unless it's slammed to the floor. 3, DSG, brilliant for towing.

Would those rims fit on my octavia?
Hi N, not being funny, actually yes i am, if you love them that much, take a picture of them, get it enlarged, frame it, and hang in the garage, it will be much cheaper in the end. Then find some Skoda specific wheels with a lower et than normal, it will be alot less hassle. Thats what i did after fitting some none Skoda wheels. 👀

Would those rims fit on my octavia?
ET would be ok. 112 to 120 stud pattern, got to be some sort of adapter? Then there's the spare wheel. I think the fact that I'm the only person that has posted anything, sort of tells you something.
