Cheers Moggy, presumably just a case of taking out the surround and giving it a wiggle...? Fingers crossed!

Hi all Strangely the instrument cluster LEDs (the Odo, Clock, trip etc) have gone a bit haywire today - initially thought that it was the infamous "fuse 15" issue with the cluster but the revs, speedo, fuel, temp and warning lights are all working fine - only seems to be the LCD displays that have gone funny. Has anyone else had this and solved it? Am guessing there's a connection issue somewhere behind the cluster but I've not had change to pull the cluster out yet. Anyone have any thoughts at all? Thanks Sean

Happy birthday Desmundo Thanks for you help with various Octy things By the way, are you masquerading as Mic from Dog Borstal?

Apols if this is a repost - but just seen this headline: "Skoda has swept the board in the Top Gear annual owner satisfaction survey, with three models taking top ten positions. The Octavia, Fabia and Superb were all placed in the top ten, making Skoda the top-rated manufacturer in the survey. The previous-generation Octavia took third place, and was described by Top Gear as

Rob That AFR guage - does the needle sit in the 'Optimum' range whilst the car is running (hopefully optimum anyway ) or does it just check at start-up?? Thanks

Very very good. Those boys seem to have such a laugh, I'm jealous. Different strokes for diff folks - I thought the first episode in the last series was poo and said so on here and took a right hammering, but this was, in my opinion of course , roll around funny. Lokking forward to the space shuttle reliant next week!

Very good price, ordered some last night

Much appreciated

Lance, like Alex I have a couple of laps on my ticker from the last trip which I won't get to use before the end of the year. PM me your address and I'll send my ticket as well. No doubt Alex is looking forward to getting that Clio on the 'Ring!

New wheels then old son? Got a new foot as well??

She looks nice alex, how do her vital statistics add up then mate?

I'm on El Al flying back from Israel - wireless broadband on board - guy next to us is chatting on Skype! Anyway, Skodas are everywere in Israel. Of the three taxis I used, the first was a Superb (with rear curtains - nice!), the next was an Octy 2 and the third was an Octy 1. The Octy 2 owner couldn't help but tell us how great Skuds are (pushing on an open door mate). Lodas of Fabias as well. I'd say the majority of Taxis and police cars are skodas as are loads of private cars, must be one of the biggest marques out there. Mybe it has something to do with Skodas being good value and there being 100% tax on new cars in Israel - ouch! Shalom!
