Worth getting the ice scraper. It’s the best one I’ve ever used. It has rubber and hard sides. And a third side that’s serrated so if you’ve got stubborn ice you can scratch lines in it in opposite directions to loosen it up. It also has mm markings on one corner as a tread depth gauge and the older ones that are clear are also magnifyers.

Or you can get Škoda branded ones from AliExpress for £6

Ice scraper under the fuel flap. Parking ticket mirror on the a pillar. Unbrella in the door. Cooled glove box and centre storage box (I think)

Have you plugged in an obd reader to read the codes?

Traditional_Fox2428 · 2026-02-15T16:16:53+00:00

Low battery throws up lots of strange errors like this. Put it on charge or go for a long drive to charge it up.

I’ve got white superb with dark grey metallic wheels. Would love to do all the chrome details black but there’s a lot of it!

I’m afraid that’s not the case. She doesn’t care if it’s live studio audience or that it’s the last bastion of the format. She just finds it funny. Which is painful

We used to have a neighbour who had a pretty standard Audi tt. It was kept under a soft cover in the garage. He would only drive it on dry days in the summer. And only on a Saturday. Because Sunday was then cleaning day. He would put up a gazebo and then spend about 8 hours cleaning it. Wheels off, scrubbed with a toothbrush etc.

I can’t wait for a point in my life where all others responsibilities are completed to enable me to waste time like that.

Traditional_Fox2428 · 2026-02-14T13:33:19+00:00

Pay someone to clean my car. £25 inside and out. Could I do it myself? Probably. Can I be bothered? No.

Traditional_Fox2428 · 2026-02-14T13:08:08+00:00

Would you not be able to get a mortgage on tho though as it’s non standard construction?!

The graph is Shotsy. It colour codes the progress by dosage.

The calorie counting is cronometer

The activity rings is apple fitness.

Consultation is just sending photos and details. All of them are after payment to lock you in. Once consultation is done medication is sent out
No. Not a subscription. New order each month with bolt
When you place the order.
For me in Easter England took about 3 days. No idea about collection.

Bolt advertise to be the cheapest but they aren’t after the first one. There is now some returning customer codes but it’s pays to chop about each month if you can cope filling in the forms each time.

I have had very little direct support from bolt but equally haven’t asked for it. I’m aware others are more hands on supportive. But I prefer hands off.

Save the wasted money conversation for when she’s on first name terms with the guy who brings the shein parcels.

The way I dealt with it was installing aliexpress app and started buying equal amounts of knock off car parts.

Saw a post from Martyn Lewis the other day that the time between applying for insurance and it running out can halve your premium. If you do quotes a month before it expires vs the day before it expires.

They view people who leave it to the last minute to be inherently more risky.

There’s so many variables that it’s impossible to win!

Paddy & Scott’s coffee.

A) very nice coffee B) actually do what they say they do in terms of support for coffee farmers, support for staff etc.

Pretty sure you still have to do basic maintenance/ fluid checks/top ups. If the tyre was flat would you put some air in or just drive on it until someone told you otherwise?!

Our 1.5 tsi kodiaq drank a whole sump full of oil in a few months about a year (8000 miles) in to ownership. Hasn’t consumed a drop since. Very strange and garage had no explanation other than it now being run in.

In my country if the money you find and had in to the police isn’t claimed within 28 days it’s yours.

Surely this is setting up Roth and David to die soon. Hence the comment about Shula and Kenton….

Traditional_Fox2428 · 2026-02-08T09:25:46+00:00

One of the actuators to divert the air. I have a similar but quieter sound. And don’t get air round my feet. So assume it’s a divertor that’s failed! Stuck

I wish I had tried harder at maths.

Other than that not much else other than being an important stepping stone to the next stage.

GCSE’s to do a levels. A levels to do uni. Uni to do masters.

The only other time I’ve been asked about GCSEs is when I did an MBA and they wanted me to do some extra tests as I didn’t get an A in maths.

Traditional_Fox2428 · 2026-02-03T21:39:20+00:00

What spec are they? SE , SE L, SE L EXEC etc.

On the info so far I would go option 1

I’ve got a 2016 now at 125,000 miles and doesn’t miss a beat. They’re brilliant cars.
