Hmmm... I tend to disagree - I looked at a silver version on the website with the silver rear panel and it didn't look right at all - it works much better with some of the darker shades (albeit not black). Personally I think the new Mk2 shape is very much colour dependant, with the darker colours working better than the lighter ones.

I have a vague recollection we had a plastic board type affair over the distributor and electrics on our Austin 1100 and 1300 too...

Blimey... 12 posts and you're ripping into people yourself... Talk about pot calling the kettle black... I think. you need to learn about civil discourse yourself! Feel free to upload the video so we can see exactly what was said and promised.

Maybe it's just me but I like the silver d pillar, although it is quite colour sensitive. Overall its not as taut a design as the Mk1 though and does seem a bit more 'bloated'.

Ours is a 5 seater and has a spare wheel so the boot isn't as big as it could be but it's still bigger than the octavia was. One of the benefits for us though is its a bit taller so I can dismantle my daughters wheelchair and get the wheels upright at one side and the chair folded and upright at the other leaving most of the boot for other stuff. The other benefit is the massive rear legroom. We were originally looking at diesel 4x4s and fancied an SEL but dropped on a decent low meage petrol 4x4 SE with heated seats which has suited us spot on.

We've gone from a mk2 4x4 tDi non scout to a Kodiaq. Suits us fine as Mk3 4x4s and scouts were pretty rare when we were looking.

That Is very lovely looking thing! It really shows the likes of BMW how design should be done

Could be the locking tab. I had one break just under the headlight and it felt like you were releasing it but you weren't. Ended up using a small flat bladed screwdriver unxer the light unit to make sure it was releasing properly

Yeah... Sorry... I'd just done a 3 hr drive with my 83 year old deaf MIL so needed to wind down a bit... And looking at pictures of F-types to confirm seemed an ideal way to do that.

Citroen SM https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_SM Basically a Maserati powered re-engineered Citroen DS

OK so have you finally bought an F-type...??? That picture being a close up of the rear wing, edge of fuel filler door and the start of the wing crease that leads from the rear wing to the top of the door, with the chomey black bit top right being the rear side window bottom trim.

I think you'll find it was filmed on something like a Ring doorbell or similar given the wide angle lens and the home owner saying he was not at home... so no set up etc.

Fold the back seats and get at the bot / keys that way?

It probably was but I haven't been fined when I've forgotten to SORN my MX5...

Just ask via the chat box on the Skoda web page... They'll need your vin to check. That's what I did

Not sure to be honest but diagrams on 7zap seem to indicate they are located on the air ducts to the vents at either end of the dashboard... Items 12 https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2015-753/8/819-819030/

Can't see it being the heater matrix as I think there is generally only one of those so if you're getting hot on one side that shows that it's working. My guess would be an issue with a heater flap motor or one of the temperature probes in the dash vents has had it or become misplaced as I think there is one in each side.

True it doesn't seem fair but you will be a higher risk now because of where you drive and the fact that the accidents have proved your risk rating to be higher than others...

Form memory when we had the dpf sorted on our 2007 4x4 the guys said they managed to get the dpf off without taking the transfer box off. There was apparently just enough room to lever it to one side and get the dpf out.

If you think that you are very, very naiive. Insurance companies work on the basis of risk and avoiding it but also hedge thier bets and make everyone cover potential payouts of others. That includes EVs

Just check tread depth on the tyres and if they are getting close down to the wear indicators ask for replacements. Same for discs and pads on the brakes. Also check for any uneven wear on the tyres as that may indicate alignment issues. And finally does the condition of the interior and pedal rubbers seem to match the low mileage?

I think the minor interim will have included an oil change. Have you checked other things like tyres and brakes?

I actually quite like the new one - it's a bit sleeker than the old? However, I still don't like the sticky out angled grille that the current one or the new one has - I prefer the original from a looks perpective. Still undeceided on the inside though...

Pretty certain that Porsche have a synthetic fuel facility in south America... at Haru Oni in Patagonia, Chile. It uses carbon dioxide from corn or scrubbed from the atmosphere plus hydrogen from electrolysis of water to creat e-fuel using wind power. A couple of links below...

I think many builders are like that - there's a house being extended and renovated next door to my mum - they've been at it two years so far and it's still nowhere near finished - no cladding to the external walls, driveway and gardens full of rubbish and materials, walls not rendered, paving not laid, roofing not finished. The (second) builder is hardly ever there (the first went bankrupt). Meanwhile up from us there's another house that has been undergoing similar work for about a month to six weeks and it's nearly finished
