Yeah, seen most of those on AutoTrader. Problem is, I don't need the car for about 8 weeks when the lease Yeti goes back..... hence the groundwork now and fact finding / considering our options.

Maybe you could go and test drive a few see which you like the look of. Theres only so much we can tell you online about what is probably best for your needs. Everyone has different requirements hence why there are so many models and engines to choose from

How do I save the settings?

keelbolt · just now1 min

Kodiaq 2026 PHEV I set the lane control to 'Off', set the alert control to 'off', and various other settings that I want. But when I next switch the car on, all my settings are lost and I have to re-set them. This is a complete pain in the ass. How do I save the settings so that they stay set?

VW Caddy mk2 (Felicia) Pick-Up 1.8T

Bete Noir · 12 November, 20178 yr

Having reluctantly decided that my Felicia pick-up was too tired to be a good base for my plans, I spent months looking for another. Although I have owned VAG cars for many years, I had not previously owned a VW, but the pick-up that I found was a Caddy, so I hope you will tolerate a thread about a VW on a Skoda site. When I bought it, it looked like this (bear with me, it gets better!). It is a 1.9D, which has previously had a substantial amount of effort put into sorting the bod

Superb estate rear door lock

MrSVM1 · 3 hours ago3 hr

I am having problems with the rear offside door lock on our 2018 Super 2.0L SE Technology diesel estate. The drivers door switch panel includes the two child lock buttons. When locking the car the rear offside door remains unlocked, therefore we have to keep it locked via the small turn screw on the edge of the door. Having looked into new lock prices, I decided to try a second hand one from a 'reputable' supplier, only to find that this replacement is doing the same thing. I conclude therefore

Headlight o/s not levelling
Skoda Octavia Mk2 (2004 - 2013)

Headlight o/s not levelling

BlueTigger · Tuesday at 15:252 days

Hi all, My RH headlight is not self leveling, whereas the LH is. I therefore assume it is not the suspension sensors as I believe these feed both. Is there something like a poor connection that can affect one side? Hope someone can help me track down the problem. The car has had the headlight removed when the condenser was recently changed, if that has any significance. Thanks
