Picked up the Superb on Thursday, drove it home. Android play does not appear to work too well with Samsung phones but bluetooth is grand so not worrying about it right now. What year is it Gavin? We have to plug in to use Android Auto. But the logical place to put the phone (cubby under the heater...

Picked up the Superb on Thursday, drove it home. Android play does not appear to work too well with Samsung phones but bluetooth is grand so not worrying about it right now. Took my wife away for a night on Lindisfarne to just unwind after the last fortnight or so and got rear-ended on the way home ...

I did wonder if I spotted you at the weekend @scotta as I saw a blue X5 with reg plate:

P15 TOV?

It is a Superb, it is petrol, sadly no 280s (or 279) were available.

Business grey Sportline 220 hatch.

Was seriously considered but petrol ones were thin on the ground post facelift, petrol heated seats. Astonishing, given how cheap a winter pack is, that people wouldn't spec heated seats, I absolutely love them!

Very close, bit slower, sadly!

It is a Skoda, it is not silver, it is not an estate

So two cars bought in the past week or so. I think I posted them both on Facebook but only the first one on the OV9 page so possibility that he second car might be slightly harder. Maybe even 3 guesses and got it. 4 cylinder FWD has lovely alcantara and leather seats, flappy paddles 19" wheels...

Wow! The wheel is OK but those seats look like Freddy Kruger eviscerated batman!

Cracking car though, and you could get some nice bead seat covers...

I can confirm he is a spoiled prick

Have you thought about parking it on my drive for a few days and crossing your fingers?

Skoda Superb, it doesn't open unless I press the button so I suspect the setting have been adjusted to those you are suggesting.

Well I have a box and both keys are in it. Good point about taking one away when we are away, Halfords had pouches for a fiver so will try one. You would imagine they would have to work for passing trading standards. You have to physically unlock and lock the car wit the fob now which is great. Cann...

Thank you! Will head there now!

Afternoon all, just picked up the new car today and it has a button and keyless go. Was going to buy shielding pouch or similar but when I went to order one it just said it was thick cotton and leather which made me wonder whether the spare, which is in a wooden drawer in a wooden table, would be sa...

Well I was supposed to be phone today at 2pm, no call so on hold trying to get through. 11 bloody days after the robbery. Would not go with Darwin Insurance again!

Cheers, Mine was a 2016 so searched 2016 and 2017 for late MK7. Not one I could find had prets annoyingly, Thanks @jamcg for those two.

Afternoon brain trust. So the TTS paid out over what we had paid but around market value. I have an appointment for a phone call with an engineer tomorrow so have been looking on autotrader for similar cars so I don't end up lowballed. I can find a few at £20.5 with similar miles and sat bav and win...

Can’t see a good outcome for him. He’ll lose his career, maybe his marriage and house, kids might turn their back on him along with friends. Not to mention the public shame. Matt Hancock was 3rd in I'm a celebrity - albeit he lasted that long so nasty things were done to9 him as far as I know, but ...
