Hi All, Whatever you do DO be careful with the black contacts on the PCB. I tried following the instructions with cotton buds etc. Still didn't work. But I'm convinced it's the stalk cos it failed when I turned the indicator on. Being a bit impetuous a took some fine sandpaper to the contacts. Think I've mullered it. So £67 for a new stalk now, or perhaps I should have skoda give me a read-out to see if the problem can be traced more accurately. Anyone got instructions for replacing stalks? Phil.

Hi all, Joining this forum on recommendation from a friend who demonstrated his Superb's self parking capabilities. Couldn't afford a Superb so bought the Octavia from CD Auction group. I'm very happy with it so far. It's a blast from the past cos my Mum bought a 105L about 30 years ago in 'golden sand'. It had the engine in the back and a little panel in the back through which you could watch the road go by... nice if you're a toddler desperate for a pee! Anyway, so far I've added a towbar (and found it a happy tow-car), and encountered the usual issues - cruise control not working (about to set about it with switch cleaner) and bonnet release not working. The rest seems good! Now a proud Skoda owner I'm flashing other Skodas on the road (comes from old Robin Reliant days - my Mum's first car before the Skoda) - can't help it. So if you're in Ipswich and wondering - it was probably me! Cheers, Phil.
