The Skoda Thread

[Mad Doug Biker]

I like that! Does the ‘coaster’ also act as a lid? I’m surprised these aren’t standard fit in a Superb.

It appears to be one of these:

Yeah 10 times more than I paid for mine, sorry. 🤦‍♂️

Don't go and sell it at a charity event then for £2.50!🤣

I know, I feel kinda' bad about that now, but I didn't price it in the charity shop.

Wednesday 30th

The sun was catching the roof of my Kodiaq this morning, as l set off to ride to work
(or maybe l was just stood in ‘right place’

Could it be time for another wash? (after 2+ years?)
The muck can be felt, & as for the moss on the window robbers (not thick, but they have a green tinge)

I use Wet & Forget once a year to keep away that sort of thing.

Not a product I've heard of, but thanks!

I use very little, diluted 5:1 (maybe half a yogurt pot), applying it along all the rubbers and other susceptible areas with a thin paintbrush. Let it dry at least overnight before washing or exposing to rain.

Trip to the shops made more interesting when you not only spot another Mk-1 Octavia parked up but it was also delivered by the same dealership in the same year…. Anorak mode activated much to the despair of child number 3 😁

Just read an email renewal notification
I actually got mine to £283.82 last year, on paying it
The quote for this coming year is £359.15, approximately a 25% increase (again)

I received the '25/'26 renewal quotation yesterday…

I had been expecting another 25-30% rise
However, it’s gone down!!

Granted, not by much, only 12%
£317.17

I will be asking questions/revising the policy
- i dont need ‘business cover’, as wife has sold her business/retired
- I think it’s agreed on a 20,000mile average
(in the last 2years, it’s covered about 11,000miles!)
- any discount nowadays, for F&R dashcams?
