[Skoda Octavia MKII] Registration light Issue
I’ve had a bulb with a cracked filament and a dodgy old bulb holder cause this. If you have put LED bulbs in they will cause issues unless the correct type and even then they may not be road legal. The bulb test passes a tiny current through the filament to test the bulb but it can’t do this with an LED. Try replacing the bulbs with new filament ones and see if that fixes it, as it’s an inexpensive test.

Repaying Skoda finance early/shortly after purchase.
I’m not certain they can ask for incentives back, as there are rules around incentives to take on debt and they are tightly regulated, hence my asking. As IANAL Also a previous poster states they were told by VWFS to withdraw would be cheaper, so I would suggest asking. VWFS are legally required to answer questions accurately, so the OP could just call them and discuss.

the truth about electric cars
I’m not so sure, I’ve seen similar behaviour from someone in a very expensive EV who thought the cost of one charge was so insignificant that they couldn’t understand why the person who had the bill cared. If you plug into our charger it won’t charge. I’d expect when cars can advertise their ID you could set newer chargers to only charge approved cars.

Car Park Fires, Transporters / Ships, any fires, any EV,s involved or not thread, were they the cause just there and so made fighting the fire harder.
Some of the grasping at straws on this thread gets to the level where you could mistakenly imagine they were the grasping actions of shills trying to undermine a threat to their business. Lets keep these things real please rather than wild speculation. Ignoring the car… a bigger question is why on earth the car park isn’t built with sprinklers, fire breaks and able to withstand a reasonably intense fire without serious collapse.

Did that mg4 float… it looked like it for a bit, which is not good. As for lots of the higher cars, why didn’t anyone tarp the grill I wonder.

I believe you have 14 days cooling off period by law (but do check with appropriately qualified professionals)

Service Code
Yes I have had that happen. Also had one manually adjust after missing one then the next one reset to that same smaller interval. I think it’s too old, but does the car use adblue and need a top up?

Cold first start problems -octavia 2017
Have you considered you might need a new battery because of a low cranking speed? Is it a very cold start and how long has it been sat there?

Snow tires for Norway's road trip
As I mentioned… nokian. harshest to less harsh order would be: Studded: https://www.nokiantyres.com/winter-tires/nokian-tyres-hakkapeliitta-10/ Non studded (but pretty good ice grip) https://www.nokiantyres.com/winter-tires/nokian-tyres-hakkapeliitta-r5/ European winters: https://www.nokiantyres.com/winter-tires/nokian-tyres-snowproof-2/ Michelin Alpin 6 if you’re feeling flush. Looking at where you’re heading I’d say it’s between the top two and as I’m not a Nordic region resident I’d be speaking to locals to see about stud restrictions in any cities you might visit and if they are local if they use studded or studless.

Snow tires for Norway's road trip
Look at Nokian Hakkapalita tyres and I would advise getting tyres where studs can be added. That way if you drive over and find yourself in need of studs you can get them fitted. I’d advise make sure you have the correct wheel size to allow clearance for snow chains and would take a set. As it’s so warm here compared to there, the Nordic tyres are not particularly suitable for the UK, so you’ll need to change them for any Of K winter that isn’t epically cold. Things to consider would include where you’re driving and can you fit them over there?

Octavia 2 Squeeky Dash
Have a look at the rubber seals on the air vent piping between the dash and doors. Silicon grease spray on a cloth and lightly applied to the rubber seals will help if it’s them.

No, but I can turn off steering assist and lane assist from a single button on the Kia and can select what I want another button to do from a wide range of features. Driver assistance is far from perfect, so you don’t want to take your hands of a steering wheel when fighting the wheel trying to do something stupid.

They’re customisable, which is good. Question is can you set one temperature, one to something else the last to another thing or is it two air fixed. I left skoda for Kia, precisely because of the infotainment mess from the mk8 platform. Turn off auto steering/lane assist was deep in menu, not a button on the wheel. On a test drive on a muddy road the car tried to push the wife into the large bank and kept trying to nudge the car over. Hopefully they learned and have added some sensible and some customisable buttons to the wheel too.

List of EV Tariff for 2.5p/mile motoring
Add a typical solar battery (Powerwall/libbi/Giv AIO) and you’re probably putting 15kWh in to get 13kW back, plus the car. Not such a summer bonus if you have solar, but very hand for a winter’s day. Trading will only get you 13x15p - 15 x 7.5 p = 82.5p, so not hugely work it. if you had a 60kW leaf with v2g you could do 42kWh (7x6= 42) so about £2.40 a day. Guess it’s a degradation question and a would a solar car port generate you more. Where you have solar and a battery and a car though… suddenly you can charge everything overnight to run off cheaper rate during the day and export all your solar.

My suggestion was to remove surface rust , as sometimes the rear brakes do very little under light braking.

the truth about electric cars
EV6 GT is limited at about 160-170mph and I take your point about many being fast to 70 and it being over. just looked at the m5 price… you could get an EV and a fun ICE and still have change. When did the prices go north of £100k 😮😮😮
