Hi folks

Anyone any info on the above Dealer, the Octy bit the dust this morning (more details to follow) and despite the VAG / RAC guys best efforts it has had to be towed into Philip Wilkes at Durham.

Waiting for the hire car, but obviously concerned about a car going to, what to me, is an unknown dealer.

Cheers Folks

Tony

Just Found Out Today That They Heve Lost the Skoda Franchise :( The Wilks group has been sold so Skoda UK have automatically stopped them selling New Cars!!! Poo on you SUK (Cos I no you read this)

They can still service and carry out warranty work though! Just had my 20K service done today!!!

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

justas1982 · 1 hour ago1 hr

I was never happy with the performance of the original brakes. The braking efficiency felt poor, and in wet weather the discs would quickly develop surface rust. When braking in damp or rainy conditions, the noise made it sound like I was driving an old car with worn-out brakes. After 50,000 km, I decided to replace the brakes. I installed Zimmermann discs and pads on the front axle. Braking performance didn't improve noticeably, but the annoying noise in wet weather is finally gone. Now I only

Octavia Scout Mk3 Rear Suspension

wallacebob · 25 January, 20215 yr

I have always thought my rear suspension a little soft when towing or even with a full tank. I fitted rubber assisters and this has helped hugely but I would like a little more permanent solution. How can I tell if springs such as these - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lesjofors/9735347 are heavier duty? It does say for towing. Would fitting new shocks (Bilstein B6?) help as well? I suppose crawling under to see what shocks I have, and what springs I have may a good idea anyway? I think the

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Odinson · 12 June12 Jun

Hi all, finally got around to getting some new shoes ordered for the girl. I'm getting a set of Hankook Ventus Evo K137 235/45 ZR18 98Y XL put onto the Pegasus alloys. I was considering changing out the locking wheel nut for just a regular nut? Which then prompted the second question, I picked up a set of Alcar 9021 17inch Steelies for Winter Tyres, do I need to run seperate nuts due to the alloy v steel nature? I was looking on autodoc to try and order some nuts as I didn't know how often they

I'm after the "MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4526" firmware. mibsolution.one has been down for who knows how long and I've just discovered I can update firmware myself. Current version is from 2017 - MHI2_ER_SKG13_P3643 - keen to see what the difference is.
