In that case could well work mate, if the unlock button illuminates when it's plugged in then it should in theory unlock all the doors like when you bring the vehicle to a stop. It will never allow anything to work which normally needs the ignition on as the crims would find that very useful :-)

Oh yeah this method would probably work fine, I didn't say it can't be done as I said further up the thread some ways are difficult in that case you would need someone quite flexible and not afraid of bruising to the ribs of the handbrake lever as you would struggle to do some of that sat in the passenger seat :-)

That just replaces the live that the battery normally provides when connected. The central locking would need to be operated via the remote to unlock deadlocks. However I've not tried that before so my theory may well be wrong! It could potentially give power to unlock button on the console, that might work with that gadget.

Good effort and bonus on the window front, they must do something for car security, can remember it being a big selling point when new cars came out!

What was that on trundlenut? In my experience it usually meant either trying to strip the door card off with the door shut or getting power to the lock, not funny!

No mate, that's what deadlocks are designed to stop. If you try the handle it's like having child locks on, you need electrical power to release them

I'm sure the breakdown services will have either figured out or been given the technique to power up the door locks to be able to open it by now. Albeit a good while ago when I worked for the AA, we had CD-ROM's with methods of un-intrusive entry for most cars, some a pain others easy peasy.

So approx just over 460NM, not a bad show :-)

That's pretty bad for that to happen straight away on your first drive in her! Have they still got the car in the workshop or did they fix it? Don't let it put you off though, your going to love it I'm sure :-)

I'll PM you

Is yours a diesel? If so I was in contact with a guy who has a CRD-T "Trevor" box that's approx. 18 months old but in great condition. Its the twin sensor version offering around 240bhp on the derv. Let me know if interested and I'll contact him.

Hi all, I need of some help wiring up a receiver as I have tried and failed, using Phoenix flight sim the plane can't be flown due to most control surface malfunctioning! Thanks in advance Steve

You could also add yourself to the MK2 limited edition register, using your seat number. You will then see who has the others and there are some numbers missing so if you know who else has one you could maybe put them on there too?. Obviously with the owners permission :-)

Can't say I've noticed and I'm only up the road! A fella at work had one but it was on a NI plate but was 09MY not sure if he still has it mind. 19K is low for that age nice find.

I did the same regarding adjusting the box. IIRC it actually says to contact them if you want to do this the first time round and it would make sense because I was told it should not be run at +3 on anything when used on the vRS Tdi , other makes and models not sure but that's what I was told. My box is just the CRD-2 but it has deffo made it quicker, bags of torque and seems to generally improve overall driveability :-). As with loosening up, couldn't agree more with the above comments, over time it will get better as I have had a go in a mates vRS with 10K more than mine (2.7K) and I could tell the difference!

They must be a bit silly then! Subaru, Mitsubishi, VW etc all have high powered 4x4 saloons and hatch's and now Ford has wacked AWD onto the Focus for the latest RS version due soon so why on earth do Skoda not see a valid business plan?? Even if the power didn't go beyond the current 280 in the Leon, surely there would be a strong market for it considering the following it has! If the new VED rates are as mentioned above then it would be attractive from that point of view for UK customers too :-)

No problem mate! My vRS is running approx. 230bhp according to my tuners figures and I easily achieve low to mid fifties on a run and I don't hang around so you shouldn't have a problem at all buddy :-)

To be honest as long as you do not exploit the extra power, you should get at least the same if not better MPG returns IMO. The 2.0 is strong engine torque wise so with a wee bit extra you won't need to use the rev range at all! My vRS albeit not what you have, will throw itself up hills in 5th like it were 3rd in some cars it's great :-) Your mate should be able to tailor the map for economy rather than performance and based on the figures above 15-25bhp extra would be enough

Hi Domble67 and welcome to the forum!

Hi Rob and welcome to the forum! Glad to hear a bit of graft has brought your furby back again!

Hi Clenzit and welcome to the forum! I reckon there won't be many limited's with sort of mileage, surely it's not a daily driver? I'm based in West Cumbria so I'll keep an eye out for ya if your round this way!

Surely now with 4 wheel drive, could those engineers not entertain the idea of upping the power a wee bit, 265 or even 280?? Nothing daft required but it must of been bantered round at Skoda HQ

Deffo not accurate, I changed an "O" for a zero and it still recognised it saying no issues! I thought it would spot it but hey-ho

Really Tim, what are we talking out of interest??
