The Ford Tourneo has got a whole lot better looking! Perhaps now is the time to update your profile 

 

Looking good, not a huge fan of the 16" Spectrum alloys but I do like an estate in white!

 

Enjoy  :sun:

Nice, I'm not a huge fan of white but there is something about the estate model that really suits the colour  Should be a big difference compared to the Epica

Looks really good,

I agree, but then I'm biased !!!

Put on a white shirt, black tie and every body gets out of your way.

I dont appear to have an old fashioned stampable service book?

Skoda got rid of them a year or two ago. All electronic now.

So they hope to keep you tied to the dealers that way?

 

how can owners check?

Sounds like a cunning ploy to me.

You do get a paper print out after a service and you can ring a dealer/Skoda and ask.

But it assumes the dealers fill in the details correctly. My Dad just had his Yeti serviced and according to the mighty computer he picked it up last March but it had the PDI done last October...

Ill use a local garage with skoda bits and they can sod off

if a local VW branch services it (they own a skoda branch miles away) can they access the service doo dah? 

Get the car serviced wherever you want, just ensure they use genuine parts.

 

Stick the invoice in the glovebox.

 

I would be interested to hear Skoda UK's response if you ask them for a copy of the service regimes since they've now omitted the booklet.

 

If you do choose to have the car serviced outside of the dealer network (therefore without access to the online service records) how does the garage know what to replace and when.

 

I'd imagine Skoda are obliged to provide this information to owners...

My last new vehicle was never serviced at a dealers but always got the warranty work done, thats was in 2008 and i thought the EU had stopped this?

That's assuming the service booklet is right.

Correct, Block exemption regulations

So is there anyone with a late model Skoda that was supplied without the service book who is prepared to drop them a quick email to ask how they are supposed to know what needs replacing and when?

A lot of independents subscribe to the various online services which provide that information.

Better tyre economy though :-)

 

I like my Fandangos but I'm at a stage where a car needs to go from A-B rather than hang out of the window screaming ......Buuut A'm considerably rictcha than thou lol.

I went straight down the middle and run 17" Triffid's.

I wouldnt know alloys from steels

 

but ive got a full proper spare

It came Tuesday, ive not driven it yet, hows that for self-control

Get yourself an RNS 510 from ebay, then a radio surround from the dealer straight swap then you will have sat nav, you could also get a reversing camera fitted to the number plate light

does the display between the speedo and rev counter, etc stay on all the time? (the mpg/phone book bit)

 

just locked the car and it was on after all the lights went out

 

 

 

p.s. hi skippy...lol
