New car day for me! 

 

I've spent an hour or so negotiating the menus; setting up my keys etc. And I'm very impressed. It's the 2nd skoda I've owned (1st being a 2007 fabia vrs SE) and I'm very glad to have a skoda back on the drive. 

 

The car needs a good clean and some attention to the paintwork plus some new centre caps etc. But over all I'm very pleased. Seems to have a great spec including wireless. Charger, heated screen etc. 

 

Will no doubt have some questions in the near future, so stand by! 

 

Cheers 👍

Excellent choice! (From a 2018 sportline 280 owner) 

Plenty of help and info on here, wish mine had the wireless charging but I’ve got used to just plugging my iPhone in these days. Sunroof is a nice touch on mine though probably never get used....

I like the wireless charging, although think I'll be using the car play anyway so it'll just get plugged in! 

 

Last car was a civic diesel, so notices a massive improvement with this! 

Looks great!

 

If you plan to do much in the way of tinkering it may be worth creating a build or project thread

Looks great! 280s aren't especially common on the used market anyway, getting one with a good spec is a bonus!

Thanks, yeah it's a great car. Really pleased. Got 3 years warranty on mech and electrics too so happy motoring ahead 👍

 

Only annoying thing so far is the glove box flopping open...dont want to have to pay for a new unit so going to search the forum later in hope if a simple fix.

I just slam it (glovebox!) shut all the time and hope it doesn't open again. Works mostly lol. Tip is leave it open for a while then shut.

I've taken to just leaving it open when there's just me in the car 😂

 

But luckily I got in touch with the dealerership and they've agreed to sort it out 👍 

I had this problem with the glovebox lid when I first had the car, but found if I shut it firmly and square with a hand directly over each latch, it stays shut.  If you shut it from the driver's seat, you end up pushing it on the right only and the left latch doesn't engage fully.

I've tried to get this fixed but the warranty claim handlers say its Trim and outside of warranty. Anyone had it done on warranty? I'm not having that I need to slam it or get in the passenger seat to close it.

I've got my car booked in to have the glove box replaced under warranty from my local evans halshaw (bought the car from a different EH dealership) took abit of persuading as they tried fixing it themselves but eventually agreed to replace it. 

 

Like you say its not acceptable to have to slam it or go round the passenger side to shut it. Once they accept that then they should agree to fix it! 

 

Good luck!
