An oldie but a goldie. Looking forward to the various motoring mags and Fifth Gear testing real world cars on sale with WLTP figures to compare.

Top Gear proved the BMW M3 was more economical than the Toyota Prius. OK a bit tongue in cheek, but there is a small grain of truth in it

Top Gear M3 more economical than Prius Linky

Real world driving my old petrol VRS could beat it's paper figure by 5mpg.

More recent cars have been so far off their paper figures it's unreal.

BMW went as far as to have a quiet word to check what mpg I would expect from the 335d before I bought it. They knew it would be off by miles, I assume they've had complaints.

Luckily I knew it would be way off and guessed about right what it would do (38-42 Vs 54 on paper).

15 Mazda diesel was also off by over 10mpg.

Tyres and grip

TL:DR - hi! superb 280: wet skiddy without quality back tyres? Hello everybody, New to the forum and owning a skoda. I've got a 2019 superb sportline 280 hatch. Are they known to get a bit unsettled at the back end in the wet? With the job I do I've driven both manual and dsg Haldex skodas (octavias and kodiaq), quite hard, and never experienced this. Granted the work cars are all diesel with Michelin crossclimates. I've had the car 2-3 months now and there's a bit of stuff in the boot. K

2014 Octavia VRS diesel cam belt replacement

knab · 19 hours ago19 hr

Have any members carried out a cam belt replacement on a diesel mk3 Octavia VRS themselves? If so, how difficult would it be for a driveway DIY'er to do and what advice could you provide. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Speaker change ??

Atenza · 54 minutes ago54 min

HI Got a new 2025 Karoq Sportline and I'm really disappointed with the speakers, sounds terrible. Had an Octavia from 2014 and that sounded better and that was not good. So my question, if I change the speakers I will need to take off the door covers and all buttons and lights, do I need to disconnect the battery and can I disconnect the battery without a lot flashing lights when connecting it back. Do I need an OBDII to turn off flashing lights or is there a manual way to do so ? Thanks.

2023 Fabia issues (heater fan resistors, fuel flap, reverse light, brake light)

briscaF1 · 22 hours ago22 hr

Hi, Partner acquired this 2023 1.0 Fabia last year. So far, the resistor pack for the fan has packed (!) up and the actuator for the fuel flap needed replacing. These were done under warranty. She's had the car back from its MOT and warranty work and now there's a light on the dash saying "check brake lights." The light on the nearside is out and there's only one reversing light, on the offside. Are the rear lights all LED? No bulb I can change? If it is a bulb, how do I get to it? Are th

Škoda Octavia electric seats retrofitting - help with wire loom ?

mikkelvitus · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hi all. I have a Skoda Octavia 2010, the facelift model. I have gotten my hands on two front seats from a Skoda Superb 3T: driver's seat electric, passenger seat not electric. My car is a left-hand drive vehicle. The wire loom beneath both seats has the connector decapitated. That means that the cables, the wire loom, just has all the cables sticking out. Could anyone advise where the different cables should be connected? I'm aware that going from both manually seat's to now electric wit
