Because I’m always very grateful to find answers to car issues on the net, allowing me to fix them myself… A couple of times recently my ‘door open indicator’ started to go crazy, beeping constantly, and I could hear the rear latch cycling. Upon opening the tailgate I found washer fluid leaking through the latch mechanism. On taking off the rear panel I found a squirter jet flapping about. (No photo sorry) As mentioned above the reversing camera has a washer which protrudes slightly from the rear tailgate release. It looks like the nozzle had been pushed in, probably by someone over enthusistically hunting for the button. All I needed to do was clip it back in the hole… And secure the pipe with a zip tie to hopefully stop it happening again. Hopefully that’ll sort the issue….

Fantastic! I’ve done the trip twice, once in 98 and again in 2018. 2nd time was in a motorhome, we had a few close calls with width but at least it had aircon that time…. I hope you had an amazing trip!

It was the front near side. I was the same and bought the car last summer with an advisory of misting on both fronts, so I was expecting it. When I had the car serviced the local dealer (VW, but have just become Skoda approved) flagged it as a definite mot failure (due in may)but not bad enough to be covered under warranty🤔 So I took it up the road to another, let’s say more established and old school Skoda dealership and they replaced it all FOC with no mucking about.

Had a new DCC shock replaced under warranty, I wonder if the other side will go before the warranty expires🤔

I’ve just been to Underwoods in Clacton. They replaced one of my DCC shocks under warranty. It’s the first time I’ve used them having bought the car approved used in the midlands, and having been very disillusioned with the shiny VW place in Colchester which has just started doing Skodas. No frills, no issues, no BS. Would recommend.

Hi folks, I’m sorry if this has already been covered. Has anyone had any issues with warranty or MOTs after fitting upgraded reverse light bulbs? I don’t know if it’s the weather, my eyesight or the fact that the car is longer than a supertanker, but I’m really struggling to reverse safely at the moment. I’m pondering whether to go with upgraded halogen or bite the bullet and fit LEDs.

Hi folks, Here’s our new family fun bus. It’s a 2019 L&K 272 TSi. I haven’t really had a chance to tinker with it yet but initial impressions are all good. It needs to go into the bodyshop for a spot if rust under the tailgate glass, I don’t know if that’s a common issue? But we have a holiday in France to contend with first so I’m looking forward to doing some miles and getting to know the car.

Hi, Did you manage to sell this or is it still for sale?
