That's a familiar phrase - do you work for Skoda by any chance Max? Neither of my DQ250 cars do it - at least that I'm aware of. I do find myself wondering how many DSG gearbox'd cars stall because of cold transmission fluid. CajoLajo appears to come from a land down under, so I suspect less of an issue over there. And if it isn't, and CajoLajo's DSG isn't behaving normally? Surely better to have it checked if they sense something may be awry, and get a thumbs up that all is well, rather than experience the expense of a potentially costly fault which could have been remedied early? I know which I'd rather pay for. Gaz

Could you use repair washers? If not, looks like you can get a genuine new one delivered for £49: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283530600074?hash=item4203bd9e8a:g:BrcAAOSwoI5dFgSp Gaz

I agree with George, diagnostics might reveal something you need to know about. If you're unsure that it's behaving as it should, have it checked out. A stitch in time..... Gaz

Hello Haol Gaz

Hello CB My second Skoda was a 2015 vRS, with a Revo Stage one. Makes a bit of difference, doesn't it! Gaz

Hello SM Gaz

Cheers George - I'm a more recent convert to cycling shorts. I'm very self conscious of my disability, my right calf being some 3" less in circumference than my left. But a couple of years ago I thought F'k it, bought some, and haven't looked back. I've a risk of dislocation of my new hip joint, so getting back in the saddle has been with care and a fair bit of trepidation as I don't want to have to land heavily on my right side, so I've been doing shorter rides. This morning was only going to be about five miles, and I was in jeans. But it was so nice to be out I just kept going. Serves me right, but it'll be shorts from now on. Gaz

The Coniston is four and a half years old now, and still going strong. Celebration today as I did my first proper ride since my hip replacement, doing a 20 mile round trip along Eastbourne sea front, up over Beachy Head to Belle Tout and back. Hip feels absolutely fine, but unlike George, my derrier is feeling it a bit, even with my favourite B17 saddle. Took a snap of the Beachy Head lighthouse on the way past. Nigh on perfect cycling weather Gaz

They arrived a few days ago, and they're very cute: Gaz

Hello and welcome Vladimir Gaz

Hello Noviczech Gaz

Hello Bill From an unpleasantly windy, albeit dry South East Gaz

Hello and welcome Marius Gaz

Neither thankfully, just some skin grated off and bruising. Very stiff for a while. Never one to miss out on a drama, I must've whined about it on here, and sure enough: Look like your weather's arriving over here later today. Haven't had the fences fixed from last time yet (booked for three weeks time), which might be a blessing I suppose. Gaz

I empathise Mac. Came off a bike for the first time in decades in mid 2017 (53y/o then). Found out that I no longer bounce Got home more concerned about the buckled front wheel than the blood I hadn't noticed dripping from my elbow. Several hours at A&E and a week off work until my thumb started to move again Gaz

A few more from Wisley:

We went for a day out to Wisley today as a result of admiring your photos. What a lovely place to visit. Duck was still there (with a few mates elsewhere): Gaz

Greetings to you too Fran Gaz

Hello Karl You'll find plenty to research hereabouts. My Octavia (vRS) was a more entertaining car, but the Superb (V6TDI) before it was a more spacious and effortless cruiser. Depends very much what you want it for. Gaz
