Now everyone knows about the iffy gearboxes, but do they know about the snapping clutch pedals.
Mine went the other day, and the local garage had to do three that day only.
But at least with the warrenty it costs me not a penny.

Is this used as a taxi? if so what do you mean it didnt cost a penny? no lost earnings? two and a half years ago I bought one of these wheelbarrows, its already had 2 gearboxes, I thought 3 but I took it in and unbeknown to me it was fitted with a temporary one whilst the new one came from abroad. that took 3 working (my working) days it goes in again for the new gearbox friday. a salesman phoned me up with a supaduper offer on having my whole fleet put on these wheelbarrows. I invited him to see a taxidermist! |

SKODA admitted that there was a fault with the gearboxes a few months after they were put on the road as taxis. |
