You leave me alone, I'm not technically minded and no nothing

Got a full diagnostic done on the car with INPA and some other form of magic. 5 sensors have to be replaced which isn't too bad, there's a misfire in cylinder 6 requiring a coil so that's a cheap fix for the rough idle and the brake light switch was the other issue, this should solve the CC issue, already had this bought.

Other than that it seems to be perfect.

I'm thinking about getting a credit union loan for mine. Not because I need to, I just want to pay mine weekly and the interest is less than the taxone .

First 151 popped up on Twitter.

Is it a Leon or Ibiza. I think that mirror looks like a leon. Is it an fr. Calling Muppetcheck :P

MuppetCheck

Its a Leon but not an FR. The front and back bumpers are different on the FRs.

colm_mcm

Are them led lights?

MuppetCheck

Yeah, there's a pack with them on the other versions.

colm_mcm

You know what, after looking at a vrs Octy lately I think they're making a better Skoda than Skoda these days.

colm_mcm

The current Octavia looks all wrong. I thought I'd get used to it, and clumsy would become bold, but it still looks clumsy.
