No Alan, I didnt know that....

I got mine from DM Keith in Leeds though anyway

Yes but he moniters the forum. Hes called ben. He has posted in keiths review section when people give grief and Angus ( the big boss works in York

Well, Im not bothered if he does read this Alan, as everything I've said is true anyway...

Maybe it will help them focus more on customer satisfaction in future

It's not always what initially happens that marks a good dealer but how they resolve it to the customers satisfaction.

Maybe, if they are aware of this thread, and everything ends up okay, they'll use it as a marketing reference.

Alan told me about your result with Keith's
A very satisfying outcome and proves that they care about customers
I spoke to Angus last year and found him to be a genuine guy
I also hope your experience traverses all Skoda Dealerships
It should do

Will do Chris, and hopefully it will be a good colour match.

 

Will also post up pics of Susan, now she is sporting Audrey's old winter wheels and tyres. 

Yes.. I read that

Is it not a tad early?

I always said that November would be the time for me to put them on, even though its unseasonably warm atm

 

I did hear that next week could see temps plummet and the gritters could be out

 

Don't want to expose my alloys to the salt thats all, so gone for an early change

Here she is in winter mode.

 

 

 

 

Got a bit of stick on Facebook Briskoda, about running them but I am fine about it...

 

Its actually nice to not worry about parking against kerbs etc. anymore

 

It has made me think about getting some black alloys though, as I didn't think black with black would look as good 

Your 18s would look great powder coated in anthracite.

Don't mind winters but black alloys look like something ending "t" with an HI in the middle. My opinion, of course.

Ohh you mean ****.

Got the phone call from the Dealer Principal today, he was apologetic and promises they will sort it (whatever that means)

They will be contacting me shortly to get it booked in, which means another 60 mile round trip through no fault of my own.

That will be 4 times I've had to go back for their errors.

Anyway, will see how they sort it and report back as and when

Cheers all

It looks like they put the radio on the seat while swapping it over... it's a real shame and winds me up. I remember my Fabia elegance had a perfect gear stick with no marks until the mechanic rested the stereo on it while taking it out... scuffed it right up :( 

Ahem....

Have them on the wife's DS3 as well

Function over style!

Mine are Audi alloys..in black too

Cars now in at DM Keith's for the new seat leather and the columbus aerial doing.

 

Another 60 miles, and an hour and a half's money lost from finishing work early :(

 

Wasn't able to claim my fuel refund as the dealer principal wasn't there, and when I got in the courtesy car, the bloody fuel light was on.... Grrrrr!!!! 

 

On the plus side, the courtesy car is a beauty this time. 64 plate Yeti 170CR 4x4 Monte Carlo. White with black alloys/roof and trims.

 

Interior is still a bit bland IMO (although it is better than the previous Yeti I borrowed)  and has a sprinkling of carbon fibre trim and similar sporty looking seats to my old Citigo.

 

Not sure what spec the Monte Carlo is, but it has Xenons, Parking sensors, handsfree voice activated phone.

 

Nice to drive, not quite Superb-like but its definitely a car that could grow on me... Probably more so in L&K trim. 

 

 

 

Anyway, fingers crossed that all goes well this time, and the only time I have to take it back there, are for the Pre-paid services I have bought.

Make sure you return it with the red light on too, even if it means driving up and down the motorway a few times.

Might just sit with it revving outside their showroom for an hour

Brick on the throttle pedal

The monte comes standard with afs2 and rear led lamps etc... It's a really good base spec plus the extras... not that I have been looking... [emoji4] honest!

Yeah right Leon, we believe you

Im not a huge fan of the flat bottom steering wheel though...

It feels a bit weird when your going from one lock to the other.

The DSG box is fine, although my kn0b is a lot nicer to hold

I found that in my mum's Yeti. It's similar to my friends 3 series where you can just pull it into gear / sport... but I also like our pilot style lever haha

Ha, pilot style yes... like it

Just needs a flip up top for the missiles

Pilot style or landing gearbox...
