Another ex Saab 900 Turbo owner here (1992 Car) - didn't remember that ..... but then of course remembered yours must have been one of the earlier ones with the handbrake operating on the front wheels.

No personal experience of Lane Assist but I appreciate folk on here raising awareness of the dangers. I think it is becoming increasingly obvious that this system can only cope with some very specific roads and driving situations, while they are very specific they do probably account for a very high proportion of miles covered (in UK at least) hence not a massive number of complaints. If a lot of your driving falls outwith these system limitations then expect problems. Even in good conditions these interventions sound dangerous, what would concern me even more would be an 'intervention' on an icy road.

Thanks all that have posted, at least it confirms that the thread pitches on the rewind tool and the calipers don't generally match so it's not unexpected that you would have to adjust the tool as you wind.

The Death of Stalin (2017) Bought on DVD, everyone in the household watched it from start to finish - a rare event.

Not convinced there is a big difference, agreed that if you are able to use your dominant hand to navigate the touch screen you will find some of the fine motor control demands easier but interacting with a touch screen is still a massive distraction from driving, one which is going to involve looking at the screen rather than the road and for many tasks this will be for more than a quick glance.

What are you listening to right now while reading this?

I may have posted a similar one previously but it's Saturday night so it's Take the Floor on Radio Scotland. Right at this moment in time it's the Liam Stewart Scottish Dance playing The Barrowburn Reel -

How to open bonnet that won't open?
Octy0GG replied to Aj77's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I don't think so but have to confess I'm not 100% sure and can't check as I don't have an Octavia 2 now. -

OK, sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious but are you sure the problem is not between the release lever and the cable? in which case just pull the cable directly. -
The biggest shame in all of this is that VAG are not listening, couldn't care less. They know that the vast majority of consumers are more impressed by electronic assists, entertainment and other gadgets than good dynamics and ergonomics, so why bother?
