Hi guys,

I just bought a VRS and my brother in law (mechanic) garage does some work for me now and then at cut price rates. Well i have only been married for 8 months!!!

The cheapest he could go is Â£220...is this reasonable???

This includes the full cambelt kit and the water pump will be of the metal variety...

Yep, i'd bite his hand off at that price. Will he do mine for the same????

Thats about a saving of a third as it should be up nearer the Â£300-Â£330+ mark.

Lego pushed between window and door

JamesK · 27 minutes ago27 min

Hello All, So my youngest son decided to push a small flat piece of Lego between the window and door. I can just about see it, but have no idea how to get it out. I’ve not operated the window as I think will drag the Lego inside the door. Any ideas or hacks on how I can remove it without taking the trim off the door? Many thanks!

I confess that all 5 of my previous Kodiaqs were AWD but I only realised recently that AWD is actually a bit of a misnomer. Drive to the rear axle is only engaged when the road surface requires it - mud, very wet road surface etc. The Haldex unit controls this engagement. In normal road conditions the car is driven by the front wheels only thus saving fuel. I accept that I may be in the minority here so I'd love to hear from others who were similarly misguided.

Power steering red light after dashboard disconnection

Alexis33 · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hello, As mentioned in the new user section I recently bought a 2012 Skoda Octavia Combi 2. I had to replace LEDs on the dashboard cluster, because speed, oil temp and fuel needles were not lighting up (one burnt LED on each line). I’ve also decided to replace them with red LED (for fun) and yes, I’ve replaced the resistor to match the current draw. After putting everything back together and reconnecting it to the car, I have one issue, the power steering red light is on… I drove a few mil
