  1. Like sgcf, I only transfer my bike by car a few times a year. I've bought the same carrier, the Saris Solo, and have found it to be excellent. It is straightforward to attach to the car and is ideal if you have one bike to carry. The first time I used it there was some bumping against the rear of the car but that was down to my poor positioning of the pedals on my bike rather than any design fault with the carrier. Full marks from me!
  2. I'm over 6'5" and find it great for headroom. I don't even have the seat all the way back so legroom isn't an issue either. I agree with Defenderben on the seatbelt in the 3dr.
  3. Same car, costs less. Makes sense that it should beat the Up
  4. I like the cold blast that you can get to your feet.
  5. The one thing I really miss from my Roomster is the leather steering wheel. Is it possible to buy a retro fit Skoda one? I've seen all the leather covers on ebay but dont trust my skills to fit them properly and anyway I'd prefer the whole wheel.
  6. I am delighted with my Citigo but was wondering if anyone else felt that the boot area could do with some additional soundproofing. Has anyone done this and if so, is it a tricky procedure?
  7. I've had my Citigo for 11 days now and can definitely say that I am delighted with it. It is my 8th Skoda - Estelle, Favorit 1, Favorit 2, Felicia, Octavia vRS estate, Roomster 1.4TDi, Roomster 1.9TDi and now Citigo 60PS. What I had not realised was just how good it appears to be in snow. Coming home from work today (heavy snow in York rush hour) I decided to try a short cut up one of the very few "hills" in the city. In front of me, a guy in a BMW M3 had given up and a VW Golf was struggling. Rather smugly I simply nipped past them both. No drama at all. Has anyone else found this to be the case?
  8. Care to name and shame the dealer? This sort of practice is a disgrace.
  9. I have owned Roomsters with both engines and to be honest I am absolutely delighted with the 1.9. I've had mine for nearly 5 years now and have no intention of changing soon. I found the 1.4 to be a little short on power, particularly when attempting to overtake. As far as I can remember there wasn't much between them on fuel economy so I'd go for the 1.9. The level 3 spec is great too.
  10. I've recently had the gearbox oil changed and the crunching in second gear has gone.
  11. I've had problems with the parking sensors too. Had them replaced 2 years ago and they have gone again recently. Can't afford to get them done again and I don't really need them anyway.
  12. Anyone know what oil and how much of it I'd need to change the stuff in the gearbox?
  13. Maybe it is just me or does anyone else think it looks a bit Vauxhall Corsa-ish from the front?
  14. Where did you see it? I'll keep an eye out for it if it is anywhere local.
  15. I am looking to replace the control arm bushes on my 2007 Roomster 3 1.9TDi as this is the second time they have failed in 4 years. I'd like to upgrade them to something sturdier and I'd welcome anyone's advice who has done this already. If I am buying off the internet what do i need to purchase?
