  1. I’ve decided to opt into my works salary sacrifice scheme and as such, my Superb will be available if anyone is interested. It will likely be a couple of weeks as I need to take off the private plate and get the new V5 Details of the car are 2018/68 superb Sportline plus 4x4 190 DSG 34,000 miles FSH and serviced last week, including the Haldex service Upgraded 19” alloys with tyres at about 5mm. One Tim does have some kerbing but the others are perfect Overall condition is first class and will be a shame to let her go Photos attached and feel free to DM me any questions. Location is near Lincoln £21,000 and I’ll include the hard wired dashcam, Amazon Auto and the boot nets Thanks Fluffy
  2. I’ll be splitting after the box that changes the 12v to 5v for the usb. I was worried that the box that does the 12v to 5v conversion might be overloaded
  3. I’ve hardwired my Nextbase dash cam into the fuse box on an ignition live circuit so that it comes on with the ignition. My question is, could I run an Amazon Auto off the same wiring by using a splitter to turn the hardwire kit from one output to two? I was concerned that the 2 devices might put too much current for the nextbase hardwire kit thanks for any guidance
  4. Yeh it’s from National company. They’re calling me Tuesday so should know by then.
  5. It’s not from a Skoda dealer but will be ensuring everything is done or will get them to do it before I take it. Will take an extended warranty either way as it’s peace of mind. It was last serviced at 20k miles in June but don’t know what was done until they send me the history
  6. Thanks for that. Im lucky theres a few good Skoda/VW independents In Lincoln. I’ve asked the garage for evidence the haldex and DSG has been done
  7. Thanks. It’s only done 20k miles So not due yet but good to know. They do a service package which might work out good value if it needs the Haldex change next year
  8. Hi all and happy Xmas I've put a deposit down on a 68plate Sportline plus 4x4 TDI. Not driven it yet but looking forward to it being moved over to my local dealership. Any members have one of these and any idea or real world mpg figures? thanks
  9. All sorted. Some German large rat thing had climbed into my engine bay and chewed a pipe. 15mins and €32 and I’m back running
  10. So I decided to take my 2yr &11month old Octavia 1.6d over to Germany on holiday. Today I started her up and the amber coil light was flashing. Shortly after the start/stop error message appeared and then cruise disabled. About 10mins later the amber EML light came on too. I’ve seen this can be battery related but I’d driven 300 miles the day before and didn’t leave anything on overnight Hopefully the local dealer will squeeze me in before I’m due to come home. Far from ideal and pretty stressful. any thoughts on what could be the cause?
  11. Thanks for the advice. I’ve ordered anoth 8gb of memory and gone though all installed programs and uninstalled the ones I don’t use. I’ve also taken of Avast antivirus and will run with Windows 10 own one for now. I though my prinary drive was a ssd but it’s not so might look at that next. One other quesrion, although I have 4 HDD at the moment I don’t need that much space. Does having More drives slow things down? thanks agai
  12. Booting up is fine but it just seems to take ages to do anything when waking from standby. I’m not running any programs in the background and can only put it down to the PC struggling with windows 10 and the media being streamed
  13. Hi All. After some advice on the best route for my next PC. I've currently got an old AMD A6-5400k desktop with 8gb of RAM and its starting to be very slow these days. I don't play any games and just use for internet and streaming from my HDD. I've a few media streamers in the house that access music and video from the desktop and i also use plex on my main TV. i was thinking about an i7-8550u Laptop but not sure if it would be up to what i currently do? I'm guessing it will as it'll have the same amount of memory but a faster CPU? I also have 4x HDD in the desktop and would look to just get 1x 2tb internal drive to replace the 4x smaller ones. Not sure if this will be impacting the speed but guessing so. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated please cheers
  14. Great minds think a like and was exactly what I thought. I’m planning to ask her once she’s calmed a bit. She’s taking to skoda in the morning to be sure
  15. Apparently it went straight to the floor with no resistance and she pumped a few times too. Perfectly fine now and the car is only 11months old and done 9000miles
