Flat tyre but no puncture and missing security wheel nut key
I have a 2013 Skoda Yeti Elegance 4x4 TD with a flat tyre. It loses pressure rapidly. The soap test reveals no puncture, nor a leaking valve, though I cannot check the back side of the tyre (see below). The thing is, this wheel failed similarly 6 months ago and I, expecting a puncture, had the... -
Skoda Yeti will not change gear when engine is on
I had my car - 63 reg diesel Skoda Yeti - serviced last week and haven't used it until today. Only to find that the car will not change geat when the engine is on. It will change gear when the engine is off and I've run through all the gears without problem. But when the engine is on the stick... -
Tyres: 8 years old, 20k miles. Concern?
I've had these tyres from when I bought the car (63 reg Skoda Yeti) brand new. They've done a little over 20k miles and tread depth is fine, but they're almost 8 years old. Should I be concerned about the rubber perishing? They don't get a lot of sun where I park the car. -

Now, the brakes were replaced so I checked them but there doesn't... -
Jaguar E-Pace test drive issues
I test-drove one of these yesterday, a 200 BHP petrol-engined model, and wonder if other OCUKers share my views. Firstly, you need to understand that I am tall - 6'4" - and tall in the trunk rather than the legs. I also have long feet. My current car is a top of the range diesel 2013 Skoda... -
How do I inspect Skoda Yeti brake discs?
I've just had my Skoda Yeti serviced and the garage are saying that both the front & rear brake discs are corroded and lipped. They've marked the issue as amber rather than red, so presumably this covers everything from lightly scratched to almost dangerous. How do I check them for myself? What... -
What aux power gizmo do I need?
I flattened my car's battery AGAIN. I had left my dashcam plugged in AGAIN. On my Skoda Yeti the 12v cigarette lighter socket is always on. So I need something that will plug into that socket into which I can plug my dashcam's power which will cut the power when the battery's power drops below a...
