Any updates on the whine, can you play tunes by varying the revs in low gear?


Its getting really bad now, the majority of customers worry that the brakes dont work either.

Which considering the track record of Skoda, they actually do.

CC, your back and you are lurking "hidden".

Whats the state of play on the gearbox.

Get a CD of bagpipes - just play it softly and tell your punters you had the gearbox adjusted to drown out the horrible noise coming from the stereo.

The gearbox is sh*te and the drivers electric window appears to have came out in sympathy ffs.

No wonder the germans lost the f*cking war producing sh*te like this!

Skoda were bought by the germans, the vehicles has german parts, the vehicle is german but made in some former commie country.

It is therefore german sh*te they didnt actually want to still use on their VW's.

The leccy window is broken, the gearbox is whining its nuts off, the spare tyre is flat and both rear tyres have nails in them.

I wouldn't worry too much about the brakes, cos if the floor is as good as the rest of the vehicle you'll be able to stop it like a true flintstone. Stop being so f'in tight and get it fixed ffs :lol:

Your wrong...EU Directive 92/118 (The word Sh*te and its allowable usage) States quite clearly that "No use of the Word "Sh*te" when used in conjunction with a country of manufacture of a "Sh*te" product can legally attach the name of the nation state unless that attached nation state is the actual country of the manufacturing process of aforesaid "Sh*te goods". Should this piece of Eurosh*te legislation fail to be adhered to by any member state of the EU Community then the Eu Community reserve the right to take a Hissy Fit and punish the offending Eu Member state with reams and reams of more unavoidable Eurosh*t directives.


And thats a Fact....

Any chance of relocating the disposal to the South West Approaches? The wrecks provided by the U Boat skippers of WW1 and WW2 to provide good fishing spots are breaking up and we need some (reasonably) new wrecks for our sport.

Tyres need sorting? Gear box screaming? Window knackered? Please bring us up to speed?

Your tales of woe outdo Coronation Enders.
