Darrenb3843 replied to Darrenb3843's topic in Tyres & Wheels
Well they are fitted and so far so good. Don't know if its new tyres brings confidence or can just feel that extra grip. -
Getting four goodyear Efficent Grip Tyres fitted tomoz. Anyone had these before? Looked at the ratings and seem good C For Fuel and B for wet.

Cheers guys for that. I will soon have a new spare wheel instead of the glue rubbish.

drivethedeal.com .... anygood

I bought my car from them and had no problems at all. Don't know of anyone who has. All you do is place your order with them and pay them the deposit about £1k. They then place the order with the garage and the garage contact you to confirm the order and spec. You dont have to deal with drive the deal again. All contact can then be done with the garage. Had two cars from Drive the deal and no problems at all would not hesitate in using again. -
Alloy Wheel and Tyre Damage.
Darrenb3843 replied to Darrenb3843's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Thanks for all the support briskodians. I do the journey everyday and never a problem even this morning coming home there was no sign of any car near to where it happened. Just under a bit of pressure know as on nights till weekend so cant really do anything till then. Didnt realise thought that if you have the gunge stuff it comes with a car pump from cig lighter. Wasted a £1 trying to put air in. Fubar youre right about the car it did its job. Funny think was though I knew tyre had been flat for two miles before warning light came on in the dash. A bit late I thought, might have to ge tthat looked at. Cheers once again. -
Someone this morning very kindly decided to pull out on me on the way home from work. Pulled out of side street as I was about to pass.I managed to avoid him but hit both off side wheels on kerb on opposite side of road doing about thirty mph at the time. Result being I need two new tryes and one alloy wheel repair. My lovely vrs is currently sat on drive feeling sad. Took me an hour to get home travelling at 10mph. Bugger who pulled out didn’t decide to stop that was too easy for them. Can anyone provide me with details of alloy repair people they may have used inthe Bury area of Manchester and a good place to get two new tyres. I need225/40 R18. If I get two the same make as currently have continental sport contact 2 on canI change my wheel around ie put two continentals on the front and the other twoon the back etc.. Bit of a stickler for same make tyres on the car. Great end to the year. She is sat on my drive now with one wheel flat as the gunge rubbish didnt work due to the size of hole in tyre. .

Late Delivery Compensation
Darrenb3843 replied to Eddie Deguello's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I can honestly say I had a few problems getting my vouchers. I fell out with the dealer on day one, spoke to me like cr*p. Re the compensation scheme i went straight to Skoda. It took approx six months to sort with the dealer first saying they had requested them then skoda saying they had filed the form out wrong. Best advice I can give to anyone having problems is deal direct with Skoda, after all dealers do not like a call from head office. Ask for a case number so you can always chase up. Tell them you do not want the case closing until you have the vouchers in your hand then phone them once a fortnight. I got on really well with Skoda and found them helpful. -
