Thank you.

Needed Handbook for Mk 111 SEL Executive Estate DSG 1.4 petrol. Any suggestions as to where can be purchased. Details please to [email protected] Tried e bay but no use. Thank you

The current electric cars are a waste of money, none do the mileage promised, and the cost of battery replacement is horrendous, approaching £10,000 in some cases, so I read. Plus few would have at home charging facility. And supposedly, when a battery catches fire, it is impossible to put it out ?. BUT I read today lithium batteries will be replaced by graphene ones, much cheaper and rechargeable in a very short time?

This raises the question re the reliability of the Columbus system vis a vis the Amunsden. My Elegance is fitted with the Columbus one and which also has decided to play up, the main dealers diagnosed it as the shark fin aerial, which apparently are none too reliable , and replaced it. The system worked after that ( repair being approx 4 months ago ) but Columbus has decided to go adrift again, works when it feels inclined to do so but unreliable, even the radio won't work let alone all it's other facilities. Car is 11 yrs old and which also brings to mind possible complications in time of all the other electronically driven aspects on a car these days, including safety ones?. The price quoted to replace the " back unit " is ridiculous, cannot be justified by any stretch of the imagination. Rip-off best description.

Thank you, as I may well be buying a new petrol Superb , how does one know if an engine is a oil burner ?. Are there some that are notorious ?

My Superb is late 2010, referred to as 2011 model. I has the Sat. Nav by Columbus as part of the overall Radio, Dvd, Map package and which decides now and again not to function. Usually when I open the car up all sorts of noises go on under the dash panel, and more when I switch on but sometimes now that does not happen and the whole system won't come to life. And even if it does, after it has been working for some time, say maybe an hour, it goes off and comes back maybe 15-20 minutes later. Has anyone any idea what and why ? Car mileage btw is 30,000.
