    @Gary1320 OK. I recently bought an SD card with the latest maps for my head unit from the store linked below. That said, I think you can download the maps and create your own SD card from the link I previously gave you. https://www.satnavishop.co.uk/

    Hi is this for the SatNav update? I think you can update your maps on the Skoda Portal. https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/en-GB I'll also request a moderator to move this into the Karoq section of the forum so more Karoq owners will see it and offer further assistance.
  3. Top Gear's never slagged off *all* American cars. They've taken the **** out of *some* Italian cars. They've also admonished some British cars. The Morris Marina got away lightly IMO. It, and it's successor the Ital were truly awful cars hammered together by an underappreciated workforce who were supplied badly made panels and components by an equally underappreciated workforce in and around the West Midlands. My dad worked for a few of those companies as a toolmaker, a press setter engineer and later a CNC setter operator.
  4. This looks like a neat little number. The Silence SO4. A neat little grocery getter/ urban runabout/ commuter car.
  5. Lots of VAG cars I've seen have been fitted with Continental's. I'd just get a decent all season tyre. Unless you live in Manchester or Wales. Then I'd say get a set of Uniroyal Rain Experts.
  6. I'd reject that Beemer purely on the grounds that Justin Timberlake has been played inside it
  7. Some info in here I think. I believe Trafficmaster have stopped broadcasting over RDS.

  9. Pretty sure I had Philips Ultinon led sidelight bulbs in my MkI Fabia and had no issues with them. Got them in my Rapid as well and they've never caused me any problems. I'd follow @J.R.'s advice and get them polished.
  10. That reminded me of when MIL picked up her new MkII Fabia Scout. She remarked that the indicators gave a nice clicking sound so you knew they were working. Just as well as she was blind as a bat and relied on her other senses to navigate. Only had one run in with a bus in over fifty-five years of driving I'm joking, of course. It was more like fifty-six years. I took that car out for a good old run today as well. Over 100 miles through some twist north German A roads.
  11. Two things. People appreciate others indicating their intentions. The peasants know their place so give way to Lady Eleanor of Boro in her superior V8 Jaaaaaaag.
  12. I was today years old when I discovered you can buy a brand new MkI or MkII Escort. 'Mexico or RS2000, sir?' 'Shut up and take my money' https://www.facebook.com/reel/813494243790192
  13. ULEZ seems to be working. I wondered why some had gone a bit quiet. 95% of vehicles seen in the ULEZ areas are ULEZ compliant. Some 80,000 fewer more polluting vehicles either off the road or punted elsewhere. https://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/23894862.sadiq-khan-ulez-ahead-schedule-removing-vehicles/?ref=rss&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-67288327
  14. How many people, as a percentage, do you think would be able to spot if a disk is warped or how much meat is left on a pad in terms of mileage from looking through a wheel? Even I'd have to take the wheel off to be sure and I've changed a few in my time.
  15. Did you just buy the last one 🤔
  16. Yep. Me as well. Brakes are a favourite to con people into parting with their hard earned. 'It's a safety issue innit sir/ madam'. Customer can't actually see the disk or pad for themselves and take the testers word for it and stump up because they don't want to be without their car and are led to believe things could be worse.
  17. I don't think there's a way back to the Beeb for Clarkson after his Meghan Markle comment tbh.
  18. The Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc era needs to have all the tapes destroyed IMO It started getting better with Paddy McGuiness/ Harris and Flintoff but yeah, Clarkson, Hammond and May were the best years.
  19. Yeah that's the one, George. I just couldn't get into it.
  20. I saw TG is getting canned. No idea if there's a last series to be screened or if that's it. I don't know if there's any decent car shows left any more. I was underwhelmed with Fifth Gear Recharged and that new Channel 4 one with old bangers is just pants.
  21. Facebook has killed a lot of forums IMO. A shame really as Facebook can't organise discussions in the way a forum can and you'll get dozens of posts asking the same thing whereas on a forum all one has to do is find the relevant section. I saw this posted the other day but it's not new.
  22. After having her hissy fit, Zoe slammed the door shut. Only9built_1188p_20231028_192041.mp4
  23. What @Gaz said ^^^
  24. I can understand your thoughts re scum bags etc but I'm not sure I would have chopped the M for the F tbh despite the desire to own a V8. That said, I don't live where you do and car crime here, at least where I am in the here I am is almost unheard of. I don't even worry about locking my car once it's under the car port and I don't worry about going to bed leaving the front door unlocked either. I doubt there's a better looking V8 Jag around though so I hope you're very happy with it. Maybe some seat covers are in order as I doubt I could stop wearing black jeans ever.
