Lots of Taxi / Private hire cars around Glasgow / Renfrew etc were 1.6 TDI Skoda. (Lets not mention Organised Crime Groups and their Taxi Businesses and Skoda cars.) Lots of Rapids were and are used as taxis. with whatever engine.

Anything you like with the correct tyre pressure for the load carried or for your comfort. Just because a tyre is an XL / Reinforced sidewalls does not mean uncomfortable. Wrecking tyres on a pothole / road ironworks is uncomfortable on the pocket.

@J.R. A test establishment is best placed as far on the mainland as you can get from London. Or when some tests need doing on an Scottish island far from London. (Subs / Reactors dumped at Rosyth instead, and other waste from the north flown out of Wick to the USA.) 2016 http://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-36745287 2014.

Actually, they word like 'may use as much as 0.5 litres oil per 1,000 km' / 621 miles. Tanks do not come into it because that included cars with as small as a 1.0 litre engine and a 32 litre fuel tank. High Oil consumption can often be with low speeds being done, town driving, lots of cold starts and short trips rather than those that give then welly and pedal to the metal.

Vulcan Naval Reactor Test Establishment. & Chapelcross & Dounreay in Scotland that many got cheap electricity because of and there will be generations to come paying for the clean up. Just like the mines & opencast mines.

It has a 10.3 kWh battery. 90 miles divided by 10, 9 miles a kWh. Fantastic. 10x 26.6 pence a kWh, her tariff. £2.66 (10 x 22.03 pence my tariff. £2.23) (Since last Thursday in my Mini Electric i have done 40 miles in town, average speed at 12.9 mph, and i will never have been above 20 mph. Car at 77% but it will be 13 or a bit more kWh to get back to 100%. it has been getting 3.3 miles a kWh. 13 x 22.03 pence a kWh, £2.60.

^^^Wet Belt? The service guidelines, recommendations, advice or schedule from Skoda / VW Group in the UK was for the belt to be replaced at 5 years / 50,000 miles was it not?

@Zel It is an Automatic you are talking about is it not? A Automated Manual 2 pedal Citigo. That gearbox is a ASG. 'Automated Single clutch gearbox'.

@Graham Butcher I post about a programme about mental health and children and pollution & studies. You then talk about gas, in the home and the various pollution. Pure and utter scare mongering is it not. Or is it just reality. Something to be dismissed as nonsense maybe. Well there is lots of scare mongering going on in this thread on the subject of EV,s. Pot, kettle, black. Carbon Black.

Someone at Skoda or VW just thought the Superb Sleeper Edition would catch the medias attention. That worked. No car on sale. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/526007-skoda-superb-sleeper-edition

Keep on doing as you do, as you show that really you are not part of a problem that seemingly is no problem really. There are bans coming. Or plans for them, but plans change. A ban on new registrations of petrol and diesel cars in the UK and maybe eventually gas heating and cooking and real fires. We really do not know if it will happen anytime before 2050 as everything is variable in this world and in the British Isles.

Welcome. Sorry no idea. What age and miles / km was the used ASG you got? It might just have the same issue as the one you replaced. Buying a used one was maybe not the best of ideas. Is it an Automatic Gearbox specialist that fitted it?

@Graham Butcher not many without a vehicle are buying coal or wood from a filling station and walking home with it.

@Haiderali123 Has the Haldex been serviced?

The thing about however much a tariff there is the BEV,s are required to get imported and first registered to save whichever manufacturers being fined £15,000 per vehicle if the 22% first registrations are not met. There are going to have to be lots of loss leaders getting punted to whoever.

He certainly gets a bit of an income from you. Was the radiator leaking?

Fill your tank as you wish and empty it and have others breath it as you reach end of life. Never mind the buzzcocks. It is always worse elsewhere for others. Lots of Scotland has no Mains Gas, so it would be bottled gas or tanks filled. Councils removed real fires in lots of Scotland and there are no coal deliveries. So wood burners. All the choice of those that live there if they want to breath what ever. Sadly many do have to suffer the mould though. So maybe children get whatever from birth and out and about as well as at home or school.

It will fit. I take it you have no jack to go see that you can loosen the bolts and change a wheel and then take off one and pop it in the spare tyre well.

@Bobbster Why did the car require all these parts that have been replaced, were they all faulty? Maybe a different garage / mechanic is what you really need.

It needs to fit in the spare tyre well when you take it off even if the tyre is deflated then reinflated / repaired. Sounds like a good idea to get a matching spare to the ones on the car.

Mine was excellent & superior to many a BMW, Audi or Merc on a 53 plate. I wonder just how low the asking prices and buying prices are going to get to by next year when there are going to be many ex hire / lease Polestar for sale.

Welcome . The Accumulator can cause faults. But you had a oil leak. The oil went someplace. There are 2 oils in the MCU and in the gearbox. ? What oil did you put in? & where? ? When was your car built. The World wide recall on DQ200,s / Service Campaign in Australia was on ones 2009-summer 2012. '34F7' Oil changed to mineral oil from synthetic and a software update. there was a period 2012-2013 with No recall or service campaign. Maybe your cars age. 2013-2015 there was a service campaign. '34H5' for pressure / heat / leaks / cracks. A software update. In Australia this Recall is on it's 3rd Recall Action / Service Campaign. ? Has your car had the 1st or 2nd recalls. Up to 2012, or from 2013?

OK, CITY busses, or maybe LONDON Busses. Lots of drivers just sitting paid on standby ready to take a bus out on route. The thing is that in this decade and this century and around the UK is pretty different from the Capital City of England.
