  1. Anybody know how to adjust the water jet on the rear window wash/wipe?
  2. Can the radio controls be retro fitted to the steering wheel?
  3. Bought a 6 month old Octavia from this dealer. At the time I was told there was no spare key and that one would be ordered. I got a message that the key had arrived and what did I want to do. I the spent a week making some 6-7 calls to speak to the salesman, who was never available. 6-7 times I left messages for him to call me back. Nothing. In the end I rang the dealer principle to complain, and inform him I was still waiting for my spare key. A short while later the service manager rang to say he had the key, but he needed the car to match it. Although it is a 32 mile round trip for me I made arrangements to take in the car (they did offer to collect it) The visit and work was carried out in less than 20mins, but nobody including the salesman appologised for the lack of communication. The final strew and the reason for this post, was when I got home I recieved an automated telephone call from DM Keiths asking me if I was satisffied !. Nobody in person to ask if I was satisfied.
  4. At 9 months from new my Fabia VRS started grinding noise from the rear suspension when going over rough road/speed bumps. BUT the peculiar thing is that it only does it in rain and wet conditions. In the dry there is no noise at all. Dealer has looked at it 3 times and can't find anything wrong, even though I took a technician out with me in the rain and he heard the problem . The car is with the dealer for the whole of next week and they intend to involve Skoda. Anybody heard anything like this before?
  5. I can see the point of this with a manual gearbox, but not the DSG. The DSG has only 2 foot pedals and most people have 2 feet, easy. Trying to enter into heavy traffic with no time to mess about, you set off and the brake is still on. I just do not like it.
  6. Does anybody know if the hill start assist can be disconnected? I have a Fabia vrs and the DSG gearbox makes this hill start assist a real pain.
  7. Just bought 4 ltrs of Castrol edge 5W 30 oil from Eurocarparts.com for £26.99 using dicount code EASTER25 + free delivery. Hurry code wont last long.
  8. john999boy I was lucky and found a stock car.
  9. 1st March and my new Fabia VRS delivered, white, black roof and black Gigaro wheels. Moved from Seat Leon 2ltr TDI sport which was very good, but the suspension was rock hard. Nice to feel the VRS is a little softer. Also got fed up being ripped off with the price of diesel.
