Seasider

Agreed.

Yes, but it is stated in the handbook that in heavy rain/spray the front sensor may be deactivated and I imagine that it is possible that water droplets on the sensors might distort their operation.

Not necessarily. If something has been obscuring the sensors or distorting their view, this may have cleared between one journey and the next.

I've had this happen in heavy rain which has obscured some/all of the sensors. Maybe washinbg the car has washed dirt in and around the sensors, so maybe a gentle hose down paying special attention to these would clear them problem. A garden sprayer might be the answer.

My thought entirely.

The question that comes to mind is "Why?"

Presumably the specification has changed since 2020.

Is there anything in the manual on driving abroad? I remember with my 2020 SEL there was the hardcopy manual which came with the car and also an electronic downloadeable version which covered topics not in the hardcopy one.

You need to remember that a large chunk of the price you pay to buy is tax of one sort or another.

I've had a Fabia with the DSG box (90,000miles) and now a 2020 Kamiq SEL (23,500miles), both 1ltrs, and found the gearbox excellent.

Tyres are Good Year F1s. Tyre tread at 23,000 miles, according to the garage at service are right front 4.3mm, and rears 5.3mm and 5.8mm. I've excluded left front as that is a new tyre following a puncture.

Hanhooks not originals. My Skoda SEL, 20 plates, and now 23,000+ miles I'm pretty sure has Good Years, three still originals and one a replacement after clouting a kerb to avoid an HGV which decidedto drive on my side of the road. Just had a service and only comments are on rear disks described as "lipped and corroding" and suggested to me to have them replaced in next 12 months. However, corrosion is only surface and probably due to seaside air and wet summer and winter. I'll check on the tyres and let you know make tomorrow, Monday.
