Regulations cannot take common sense into account, because that changes things from anyone's perspective. The reason regulations are Draconian is because some idiot somewhere will have killed themselves with carbon monoxide poisoning by turning the fan on and pulling fumes back down an open chimney thereby increasing carbon dioxide in the room. This causes incomplete combustion and in turn produces carbon monoxide. And people do die as a result of just this sort of scenario unfortunately. Common sense is unfortunately lacking in so many people these days, so regulation is required to be black & white.

2014 will be MIB1. For Android Auto etc you'll need MIB2, and as you have Canton you'll also need an MIB2 Canton amp as well if you change. Starts getting expensive when you factor in the cost of parts, Component Protection removal, etc.

Simplest solution for you would be a wireless room stat, then you can fit the stat anywhere you like easily. I do a lot of these for upgrading systems.

Do you have an SD card in the unit with a maps database on it?

I'm just moving house so not really able to offer repairs currently. Sold off loads of stuff and now don't have a workshop for the foreseeable future I'm afraid.

The Bluetooth pairing and the radio cutting out with a thump are not related I think. Just coincidental that you have two faults. Disconnect the Bluetooth unit under the drivers seat and reset it, then re pair your phone might be a cure for that (but with a faulty Columbus there's always a possibility that Bluetooth problems can't be addressed until you get that fixed). The thumping sound invariably is the radio board in the unit needs replacing. There are a few different ones depending on what unit you actually have, but best case it'll be a £90 fix for me to do, worst case it'll mean the cost of parts makes it uneconomical (new radio board & main board cost in the region of £300 to buy, then labour to replace).

At the risk of repeat... If hot water is leaving the boiler but cool water is coming out of a tap, then it cannot be losing circa 40deg of temperature in the short distance it has to travel. The only logical solutions are that the boiler knows it's only feeding the kitchen tap at any given time and decides all on its own to give you cold water. Or the boiler is functioning as intended and cold water is entering the hot water system between the boiler and the kitchen tap.

Updated. Thanks.

First thing to try is a maps update. Free to do (you'll need a 32Gb usb drive) and reinstall the maps. See here...

That could be correct, but the fact remains that Skoda dealers & Customer Services have stated that the system doesn't use an sd card.

Dealer talking *******s I'm afraid. The Columbus doesn't use maps from an sd card, they're stored on the internal memory. The absence of an sd card is not relevant.

Simple answer. Don't do anything which will cause them to cancel the policy. Every time you take out insurance you get asked "Have you ever had any insurance policy cancelled or declined" and if the answer is "Yes" then you'll be in for a world of pain. So, my advice, take a hit now and cancel the policy yourself, then take out a new policy making sure you put in the correct details.
