I have a 4x4 Octavia Estate and I am getting a E bike and am just wondering what would be the best way of transportation on my car. I have fitted rails on the roof and cross bars . Peter

I think you have to change wheel bolts as on the steel wheels the bolts are round at the ends where on the alloy wheels they should have tapers on them.

I have used autoglym products and if you can get them half price even better . Never had a problem with any products they sell.

I had a similar experience recently with my Octavia and it turned out to be sticking door switches . I cleaned them with a spray of WD 40. Ok after that. Peter

I have always gone for Tom Tom as they have good maps and up dates regularly. I would personally go for a mid range one that is WiFi connected etc and free map updates . My one at present has WiFi , Bluetooth, free maps updates etc. I then have brodit fixings in my two cars so I can change over at a drop of a hat . Garmin I used a works one and it was not as easy to use and mapping was not too good either. Do a search for offers and deals around it pays .

Green lights mean it’s a doctors car so if the public get out of the way it’s ok but we still have to drive to the Highway Code like all emergency services . We mainly use lights on small country roads at night and also so people can guide us to their house if we cannot find them. If we are going to a palliative care call or end of life again we use them to help make our journey quicker if in traffic.

I will definitely not be using the car for off roading, I drive these cars daily in my job . The only reason I wanted a 4x4 is if in the winter the roads get slippery I want something that will go in a straight line. I had a 4 motion Bora 2:8 litre v6 petrol and that was fantastic in the snow with all weather tyres . Where I live in Kent touch wood we hardly have trouble with really deep snow. Peter
