Hello Mafield01 Have to say I agree. When the time comes for me to change, heated seats will be a must Gaz

Hello R57 I do like a nice Monte Carlo 😎 Gaz

Hello and welcome Phil Good to hear you're enjoying the upgrade. Gaz

Ummm..... https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/390-škoda-kamiq/ Gaz

What's really nice is hearing you reminisce on some of the challenges you've gone through, and remembering you going through them at the time. They'll be in this thread somewhere as well. When I inherited a 1989 Mk2 Golf GTI 16v in 2002, it had an aftermarket exhaust on it. Can't remember the make, but it was a well known brand. Once you got to 50mph there was a god awful resonance that no one in their right mind could live with. That first drive after installing a new OEM system was just bliss. Watching you sat in the shade in nice wicker chairs in front of rusty. It's currently -1°C in the South East UK 🥶 Gaz

The GR Yaris is now available as an auto! Yiii-harrrr 😎 Gaz

Hello bigbatica If I try hard, I can almost remember being 40! Gaz

Good evening Peter, and welcome to Brisky Gaz

Yeah, racing certainty I'd say. I think the 1.9 PD engine was hard to beat. Not without their issues though: Gaz

I've been on two wheels since the late 1960's when bike lights had HP2 batteries and the light reached the road if you were lucky. I now have five lights on my bike (three rear, two front) and according to where I am, I might use a head torch as well. The front one for seeing with, is as good as a car headlight (and better than some), and it's no trouble to have it angled down so it doesn't blind anyone, and up on unlit cycle paths. It's just common courtesy. Both my car and Mrs Gaz's are all LED. The Polo's seem more intense than my Golf's, but they're both adjusted as they should be and cause no issues that I'm aware of. I've only been flashed once and that was my mistake for leaving my main beam up, when they should've been dipped. George's anniversary and recollection of his bike accident is a good reminder about bikes. I do worry about my Daughter as her home to work is on some unlit roads. But she's got really good lights (LED), has good protective clothing, and a bike that's powerful enough to get her out of trouble. I like that I can see where she is, and where her bike is, whenever I want (she likes the reassurance too - she can see where I am as well). She'd be mortified if she were to experience the light output on my 1978 Honda Camino! 🕯️ Gaz

Howdo Aetious, from just along the coast Gaz

Congratulations, thats a fair old distance 👍 We have a longstanding thread that's just perfect for this: Gaz

It's your car, do what you want - in my opinion. Delaying the service until March is going to make very little overall difference, and makes sense to me. Could you bring the MOT forward to, say, mid February and have 13 or so months MOT, as a compromise? I certainly wouldn't be worrying about being penalised. I've previously brought a first service forward, and delayed other services, out of personal preference, with no adverse comments made by the main dealer. Gaz

+1 👍 I think it should be against some law or another to have 0.5 degree temperature increments too G

They're just footers at the bottom of all my posts. My current car's the Golf, and my previous car was the vRS. Gaz

Might it be on a label in your spare wheel well? This might also be helpful: https://www.idealengines.co.uk/engine-codes.asp?make_id=65&mo_id=31393&part_id=517&pname=skoda-octaviadiesel-engine-codes Gaz

If you search in thread titles only for the phrase 'Mr Muscle' there's reading aplenty. Have you seen this thread - has quite a lot of info in it: Gaz

Probably 'coz of the risk of '3...... 2...... 1...... 🔥🔥🔥' 😜

Hello Phil My first foray into Skoda ownership was a V6 Superb (TDI). Smashing car and a great introduction to the brand. I'm unlikely to have a diesel again as I don't do the miles to warrant it. Agree with @Warrior193 - of the 1.4's I've driven, I've been impressed with how sprightly they can be 👍 Test drives a must, to get a feel for what you're driving. Gaz

Hello JJJ, welcome aboard I think quite a lot of this is down to there not being a lot of footfall in the 'Hellos and Goodbyes' area. While there are some regulars who pop in, the vast majority of activity is in the other areas of Brisky. Gaz

Hello no.9 Does that mean there's at least eight other bigfoot hidin' in the UK? 😁 Gaz

Hello and welcome Spongy Gaz

Hello Duncan Local I see - I grew up in Hastings. Gaz

2.0 Diesel, so if DSG7 it's presumably the DQ381.
