The Skoda Thread

[Gunk]

The wheels are undoubtedly over-engineered, but......................, for all logical reasons, yes!
If you can find a good company that repairs high-end alloys, email with photographs, they might(??) be able to repair/refinish?

Cheaper to buy a good used wheel

Probably!

@skudupnorth ..... I had a few IMPs, last one a 998cc scorcher. It got totalled and I moved on into a 'C reg' 130LSE new.... Coup after that!

Loved the comfort and great heater [natch!] and strong lights..

Just been running my Suzuki 3pot 993cc Auto for a year.... WOT everywhere*
*reliving my misspent yoof.

@LardAbove
I’ve not seen it, just a photograph
It’s the same colour

If it is, it’s moved to the outskirts of Wakefield

Monday 21st

I went in the Kodiaq this morning, to work

It was quite early, about 06:15
The owner of the Citigo, would be on nights, going by the condensation on it

If l’d seen a Kodiaq, with the same specification (or better) than mine, in that colour
Would l have bought it?

I’m still not a fan of black cars, despite now having had 2 consecutively

I found out a few days ago, that the Citigo belongs to a Nurse that I know

We’ve just bought a 2015 low mileage Citigo for my two kids to use, I’ll post some photos soon, what a cracking little car!

Once again, the point about my swapping/PX-ing my Kodiaq for an automatic has arisen
(& she'll sell her Q3!)
I had a think, & perhaps a FreeLander2 fits the bill
I joined the FL2 forum after a bit of a browse, rather oddly, a couple of members seem to suggest that I keep the Kodiaq, as it's a better all round car that a FL2

I'm sure I could live with the smaller cabin/lower MPG? (I'd still want a diesel; the Td4)

Heck!!, I lived with a 110CSW (Td5) as a daily-driver (& also a 300Tdi Hard-Top, a few years before that)

IF, I do get one, I want a green one
This colour

They’re not known for their reliability, could be a world of pain

True, it’s a modern(ish) Land Rover….

However, after my recent DPF, & glowplug, issues with Kodiaq…..

Saturday 27th
As we were too early to check in, for our weekend at the Midland Hotel, we had a potter about locally, up to Hest Bank first, then down towards Heysham & Overton
I knew that the tides would be wrong, for a meander over to Sunderland Point, but it's just one of those places that need to be visited, as it's a tidal-road
Looking south-west towards Sunderland

As I turned round to walk back to the car

This sign (2 of them) are on the crest of the road, in the previous image

As a counterpoint, my old 50th Anniversary, in October 2004, at the same location

It is!
It’s in the Wakefield area
He’s very happy with it, as it's his 2nd Japanese car

Whilst driving through Castleford this morning, l followed an usual specification Superb

It was a ‘first generation’ on a ‘11 plate’

A saloon, Tfsi(?), but…… a 4x4!!!

I’ve seen a Passat saloon as a ‘4-Motion’ (someone owned one not too far from where we live), but never - knowingly- a Superb saloon!!!

Isn't that a second gen? yea they made a 4x4 in higher specs.

I'd like a 3.6 V6!
