Heard the one about the train crash?

I think I'm not meant to have my first Skoda, maybe it's a sign. Call from dealer today that my car, that I was told was at 'port of exit' ie Emden ready to go on a boat was actually on a train in Germany that crashed at the weekend. My car is fine although there have been loads that have been written off including VW's and presumably other VAG cars.

It was build week 29 and now it looks like it will be a September delivery as I'm off to France next Friday for two weeks - driving so I wanted it for this obviously.

Too say I'm at the end of my tether is an understatement. Don't care about 64 reg as its a company lease car, just want the damned thing.

Anyone else had the same story?

Camber adjustment
Skoda Octavia Mk3 (2013 - 2020)

Camber adjustment

smithysmoo · 37 minutes ago37 min

So had both rear control arms replaced as the bolt was seized so I couldnt get the tracking done..now the tracking place say they can't get the camber inside spec because there is no adjustment for that and it will be OK as toe is good now.. Have attached the results.. Is the camber adjustment not this bolt in the pic..(which stands a chance is seized aswell)

Fabia Scout Specific Parts

Dazstap · 16 hours ago16 hr

Hello all, I am looking for advice from the hive mind please. We have a 2012 Fabia Scout and it needs new shocks, maybe rear springs too. Most places list these items, but they are the standard Fabia items, and I believe that the Scout has a slightly different spec suspension. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the correct items please? Many thanks in advance for advice received. Darren

Jam Nuts Issue (Track Rod End)

joeninho · 31 May31 May

Hi guys, I'm at desperation stage here. Changed bearings on the car. Ball joints also changed. The threads on my TREs were goosed from getting the busy off, so I bought new ones to replace them. My issue is the jam nuts. I have watched/read pretty much everything that's out there, yet these things won't budge. Tried heat, spray etc. Is it definitely clockwise for both to loosen them off you are looking at the hub from the outside of the wheel arch? Lefty loosey when looking from the insid
