Hi,

Doing some serious miles now, so been looking at Fabia VRS' and Octavia 2.0TDI Elegance's. Found one local (Octavia), which looks pretty clean.

Going for another look and a test drive tonight. Any tip for what to look out for ? I've noticed some dealer code labels for work done under the boot floor. Are these recall labels ? as one said brakes I'm sure ?

Any advise would be appreciated. ITs on a 54 plate with 63K. Verified the history with the supplying dealer.

Cheers.

Hi all, recently bought a 2016 Fabia 1.2tsi with 1 key and it's the push button start, had 2 mobile locksmiths out and both have the same problem, they can cut and programme the keys so it locks and unlocks and will start the car but the new key they cut will only start the car if held right up to the button and then you get the dreaded "key not found" warning and noise,the original key works fine so I can't see that it's a car fault and I can put up with holding the spare key up to the switch a

I have a 2014 diesel octavia estate 1.6 blk edition. Lately, and since service my mpg is alot lower than normal. I understand my car is old but recently ive noticed im using more fuel. Ive asked my usual mechanic and hes replied with the expected answer i thought hed suggest which is weather, tyres, speed, fuel prices and that mpg is never ro be trusted.

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Odinson · 12 June12 Jun

Hi all, finally got around to getting some new shoes ordered for the girl. I'm getting a set of Hankook Ventus Evo K137 235/45 ZR18 98Y XL put onto the Pegasus alloys. I was considering changing out the locking wheel nut for just a regular nut? Which then prompted the second question, I picked up a set of Alcar 9021 17inch Steelies for Winter Tyres, do I need to run seperate nuts due to the alloy v steel nature?
