I put a litre in at about 6000 miles. From what I gather if you go easy on the car it will use more oil. I went fairly easy on my car for a few hundred miles but i know people who went easy for a couple of thousand miles in cars with PD engines and their cars used a lot more oil.

Looks wise I think they are spot on, this is an example of what I

It's not one touch.
IIRC you can turn this functionality off in the MFD.
No you can't unless the 06 models are different from 05 models.

I think you will need to go back to the dealer for this one. The integrated handsfree system you speak of isn't available in the UK or Ireland so its unlikely you will get much help here.
Sorry. hope u get it sorted

Do people buy things like this
Dunno really but i'm currently highest bidder
-
who actually does this???
It's a stupid way of thinking
You would be surprised actually

ohh nice sounds liek the 105 is a good buy then
The 140 2.0 TDI is a huge improvement again over the 105 1.9 though. Even smoother, quieter and a lot more responsive and free revving than the 1.9.

These are the words from Novatech.
"In order to comply with the terms of the licence this software must be bought with a qualifying non-peripheral hardware component' date=' such as a hard drive, motherboard, memory, CPU, etc."
A tenner will get you 32 mb of edo ram. Job done.

When I had mine done a few years back' date=' planning consent was only required if the planned conservatory was larger than 50% of your existing garden, as well as proximity to the nearest adjacent highway.
Go for a coloured roof (bronze is better at keeping sunlight down) and as many ply as you can. If it's going to be south facing, then ventillation is a major requirement. Mine is 6m wide, 3m deep at ground level with a sloping roof that rises to around 4m high. I have 2x roof openers, french doors,6 top and main openers and 4 top and bottom fixed. In any sun it gets very hot, and if its locked up and a hot day, temperatures of 50oC are not uncommon. For this reason also consider the flooring. Mine is "cozy floor" ie chipboard top on a condensed foam material, sat on a concrete base. This helps in the winter. However laminate is out due to the extremes of temp in mine, (the last lot buckled completely) so now I have a very nice and not to cheap lino covering, that has a non-slip texture and is ok in the heat, but not cold in the winter.
ps: it was Anglian that did mine, and cost me £16k including any planning stuff, footings, brickwork to 60cm, drainage adjustment, build and glaze.[/quote']
Here in NI you now need planning permission for all conservatories I think.

Where can I buy the cheapest genuine copy of XP?
Was thinking the OEM one from Novatech' date=' but do you have to buy it with hardware?[/quote']
Yes you need to either buy a whole machine or enough components to make up a pc.

IIRC the 105 1.9 PD TDI is tuneable to almost 160bhp! Not sure who does that particular re-map though.

Bad luck, just make sure he doesn't try to claim for whiplash

Everyone just assumes i'm a bloke but it's just a cover to avoid the attention. Where did you get those piccys of me anyway.

Personally with this budget I would be opting for a Kia rather than any of the above. They seem to go on forever and build quality has really improved during the last couple of years.

Firefox for me too. I can't quite put my finger on what it is but when I switch back to IE on another computer for example it just doesn't seem as well put together and intuitive as Firefox.
-
Just done a search and I think I've answered my own question. I reckon in checking the service interval on the dash I reset the service interval to fixed - What a numpty I am.
Yup I did that. It's easily done when checking when the the next service is due.

Just on the news ..new land speed record for the JCB dieselmax car 328 mph
You wouldn't think a digger would be that stable at 328mph.

Awww i'm gettin all emotional now. Congrats to ya both.
-
Mine aren't great at times either (2.0 TDI) but if you really jump on them the ABS pulls me up pretty quickly. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence though.

You need your own tv series Emily. Rats, rabbits, dogs, drunken neighbours, bank managers, Peugeots, BA Baracus, Star Trek, your mother.... the list goes on. Channel 4 would snap you up.

The trouble with ESP is that it's very flattering. It gives you the impression that you negotiated that roundabout at 40mph all by yourself. then you get into a car without it and find yourself having a close relationship with a hedge.
-
Yeah as Lummox says. Peizo injectors are a lot quieter.
As for the power steering, I doubt there's any real changes but they have probably changed the power assistance level. It's electric power steering so they can do that. I plan to ask my dealer to lighten up my steering a notch or 2 next time the car is in for service.

Although the 1.9 has a lower torque figure than the 2.0, I thought the 8V engine would be better for towing duties than the more performance orientated 16V 2.0tdi engine.
I'd agree actually. The 2.0 wouldn't struggle at all but then again the 1.9 would manage ok too and keeping economy up is a bit of a balancing act in the 2.0 whereas I gather economy doesn't seem to vary as much over the rev range in the 1.9.

I have found the speed reading on the climate control to be spot on with my Sat Nav. I don'y think Skodayouth has climate control though.
sounds liek the 105 is a good buy then
