Odd Braking Phenomena After Repairs...
meta55b replied to nutters_uclan's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
As Aspman said, i have seen people on here saying you have to presure bleed the brakes and not the old fashioned way of pressing the brake pedal. something to do with damaging the abs unit i think. -

Sold my Octavia vrs, feeling very happy.
meta55b replied to AliBailey88's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I've owned my 2008 vrs diesel since new, I like my car but I certainly don't love it. My reason for buying my car was i Needed a big boot and space for kids that's it really. Don't worry about offending people, as you said there was nothing you could put your finger on. -
Forum member injured in car crash! Mrs Stig, aka SWMBO

You don't have to accept the offer, don't they get three chances before it goes to a mediator. -
Yes I do think so. Read the Highway Code, what does it say about using the lanes of motorways and dual carriage ways when you are not passing or instructed to use other lanes. As for the volvo driver he was probably expecting the op's car to be in lane one not two, oh and it was at night time. if you cause another driver to deviate in direction is also a fail.
-
Just watched the clip again as someone posted he didn't have indicators. Never mind them the tail brake light is also a waste of time and space. I'm not even sure I could see it coming on.

Been to tenerife twice, both times was in the princess hotels in Adeje. would i go back yes, would i go to Las Americas not on yer nelly. ticket touts everywhere, looky looky men that wont take no for an answer. pub touts trying to get you in, no dont fancy a drink at 9.30 in the morning, want some crack then <yes that parts real. there is a good shopping complex with a good choice of brands in las Americas, it's oppisite a hotel with a huge pyramid at the main gate, that is worth a look, get a taxi there and out. Loro park is good, dont do the vip tour if its the first time as you miss out on seeing alot of stuff, me and the wife did that tour the second time.

Is the girl just trying to get back at her mum for punishing her for staying out to late or along that lines. You have not said, has she given a good reson as to why she wants to live with you, as you said holiday camp. As already said above this situation needs to be sorted asap. speak to her every day on the phone show her you are making an effort, and let her know you love her more than anything in world.
-
The Easy answer to this is. If this was a driving UK test, and do as the op has said would you fail (YES). Yes what the op has done is annoying when the road is busy, if quite he's done no real harm. I think he gave the vovlo driver a bit of a shock, dont think they were expecting a car in lane two then had to swerve to go around when they noticed.

Im not a biker but have plenty friends that are. One topic that has come up time and time again is, how much quicker a bike will slow/stop than a car. So as far as i can see the car driver was in a no win situation. why didnt the biker just pass give him the bird and leave the car for dust to prove a point that the bike is way faster.
-
Oh that's not cheap.

Can you still buy audis with ABT tunning from the dealers, so you still have the factory warranty.
-
Yes i know it's not all about straight line pace, a car has to handle too. Most people think the merc can't due to the motoring press who take it on tracks and switch the traction of, how many of us could do that in real world terms like what the motoring press drivers do who are also racing or ex racing drivers with far more skill than we will ever have. Then if you don't want to boot it and drive nice relaxed it is best car I have ever driven, smooth, quite and a pleasure to be in. If it was the op I would stay with the Audi, it's already a very fast car and the way things are going on the speed catching front it's just not worth it. If he didn't have the Audi I would say go for it. The AMG power and passion courses are only done in Germany.
-
You will be shocked how fast it can get to its limited top speed. The car pulls and pulls till it gets there, from 160 to 180 on the speedo only takes about 7 seconds. And it wasn't done in Germany but a very close country or two. I do have a a video clip of it but the quality of the vid is not so good but you can here the speeds being called out, I can show it to blacklinestu if you want it verified.

My boss is just back from hockenheim doing the two day AMG driving course in the c63 that we have at work. The c63 was bought because it had to go with the other cars we have which are mercs too, once you get showing how to drive the cars properly by the instructors and what settings to use, they turn into bullets and will match an M3. I get what the op is saying is it worth paying another 15k for a car that's only pulls away after 70mph, but will an s5 do 174 mph and only be in 5th gear with to more to go with a total unrestricted speed off about 200mph. But then do you want to get speeding at that numbers.

The Briskoda drive recorder video footage thread.
meta55b replied to BossFox's topic in Off Topic Chat
the helmet can be used as a weapon, by sticking the head in the cop or swinging it about. it's not the first clip i've seen where the cops makes the rider take the helmet off and lay it on the ground before he would get any closer. -
Who's to it didn't happen at home, you might have disturbed them as you left the house to go to good wood. then the miles you did after loosend them off. People who do this kind of stuff are nothing but scum and think they dont need to work for anything in life, just take it. It would be a good idea to inform good wood just incase id did happen there so the security can keep an eye out, its also worth letting the local police know too incase it happens to another driver who might not be so lucky.

I love the fact we have a no hand gun rule, I don't care what he did for a job. He had dangerous objects in his house which are illegal,so don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
