• Skoda Octavia I (1998 - 2004) - 2005 1.6 (8 valve) - mayonnaise on oil cap 12 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  This is the "Mk 1" model with 8 valve "MPI" engine (not FSI) - must be one of the last ones made (registered May 2005). I got the car in October 2007 and have covered 3000 miles, bringing its total to a very modest 13,600 miles or so. I just checked the oil level, needed to top up, then to my horror found "mayonnaise" inside the oil filler cap.
• Parking Ticket 27 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  In my opinion these signs do not cover this stretch of road, there is adequate area for a sign to cover this stretch (sufficient for 3 cars to park). I know many colleagues who park here on a daily basis and as far as I know, no-one has received a ticket previously.

• Audi a6 avant - Garage refuses to pay for fault 7 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  They also stated that the Audi garage who serviced the vehicle in October would have paid 70% towards fixing the fault, (even though the vehicle has covered 112000 miles and is 4 years old!) I believe they should pay for the work carried out as I don't believe they checked the filters prior to the vehicle being sold, (they had bought the car the day I viewed it), and on there website they state all cars are thoroughly inspected before being advertised for sale.
