Timpsons do car keys.

And the other thing about going faster round corners is you quite often can't see far enough ahead at reasonable speeds.

The winter tyres help a lot because the walls are softer. I'm going to fit all weather tyres to mine when I need to change.

Whenever mine comes back from service the auto parking brake and headlight switch are both turned off. Getting used to it now!

You have a warranty, it's a fault, they should fix it. Whether they get any recompense from Skoda is not your problem.

My car has the Juke box facility and I populated it via the USB port.

I can't move my steering wheel at all without the car changing direction. Are you sure there's not something loose?

It's a common fault and Skoda know about it. I got free parts and 50% off the labour as my car was out of warranty. It should be fixed under warranty for you.

Just to eliminate a possibility, do you have a pedal box fitted? They can throw up some odd errors when they start to go wrong.

Put it this way then. My neutral idling speed is 800rpm. It drops to 800rpm when the parking brake is applied. When the car is in creep more the revs are higher.

I think the clutches are still engaged as the car is ready to creep as soon as you release the pedal.

If you use the parking brake you don't have to put it in neutral, the clutches release. You will see this happening if you watch the rev counter. It will drop a couple of hundred rpm.

As long as it's only a few seconds it will be fine but keeping your foot on the brake means that the auto is still engaged leading to wear on the clutches.

Got the above error today. Two months out of warranty. Googling it reveals it may need a new gear shift, coming in at around £1,000. It seems to make no difference too the running of the car, just get that message popping up. It seems that there's a technical bulletin about it, I found one for the Golf, but it doesn't say it should be repaired free out of warranty. Maybe there may be a goodwill payment but I'm not holding my breath.
