Hey everyone,

I've got a knackered old Mk 3 Golf but am looking at getting a Mk1 Octavia Estate VRS. Several reasons for this, the Golf's knackered, I'm a bassist and double bassist so would be great to have a big huge boot to get my stuff in. I'd like a car with some pace for not too much money and an octy seems to fit the bill perfectly...

Still don't know if the double bass would fit in the car (can you remove the parcel shelf type thing completely?). It'd be great to try it if anyone on here lives around Tooting Broadway?

Anyway, hope to learn loads from this site and from the quick look I've had there seems to be a knowledgeable bunch of people on here...

Cheers,

Tom

Key not found

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

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? I was looking on autodoc to try and order some nuts as I didn't know how often they
