I love landrover always have since owning a series 3 back in the day but reliability issues put me off. Land Rover/ Range Rover have gone down the aesthetics route imo rather than the reliability route. Other manufacturers provided both

I think that’s the way to go as said Ofcom checker says only O2 & Vodafone have coverage and then that’s not great but other people on the site have inet so I’ll talk to them as well

Thanks according to Ofcom our only choice is O2 or Vodafone with a limited signal although there own websites say 4G is good or likely?! I looked into giffgaff their website says it’s good signal so it’ll be a case of trial and error. I watched a really good YouTube video on installing the...

Thanks I’ve taken a look and saved a couple of sims in my Amazon wish list. There seems to be a big price difference in what’s available from £100 ish for the Huawei to £300+ for an Axtex Perhaps I’m being thick but am I right in thinking the Huawei is a data booster or device that supplies a...

Thanks for the advice suggestions we want to keep our mobile phones separate from something we will use for laptops and tv. We both have phones contracts with data included and want something initially on a monthly rolling contract with unlimited data so if the service or signal is an issue...

We’re going to be living in the caravan and my wife is continuing to work from home (in this case the caravan) until December when she retires so the need for a suitable signal is required for both business and pleasure. I’ve checked the ofcom pages for the postcode where the caravan is based...

Hi folks Looking to get inet in the caravan so my wife can work from home. During the day and so we can watch tv streaming etc. The location of the caravan limits our availability to O2 or Vodafone possibly some of the other providers that piggyback onto them, and unfortunately only 4G . So...

Thanks for the advice the attached is a pic of the weight plate on my vehicle. A braked towing weight of 1575KG (from memory) 750KG unbraked is also on the v5c.

It's also pretty much the same car as the Tiguan and that is also a popular tow car. Although the Kodiaq is much better looking inside and out IMO :) I've emailed the Skoda dealer selling the VRS which has a FF tow bar asking what the car will tow and what the nose weight of the tow bar is. This...

Having looked through auto trader there’re several kodiaqs and a couple of vrs models with tow bars fitted one of the vrs models has the factory fitted tow bar. I do think its a manufacturer way of squeezing a little more money out of their customers

I’d not go above the recommended towing weight and where possible I’d stick within the magical 85% I’ll see what Rainworth Skoda a main dealer say if they’d fit a tow bar then I’m happy its fine. Although I’m likely to go to an independent based on price

Thanks all for the advice and trouble replying. The v5 does have a towing capacity quoted as I type I don’t have it with me but I’ve definitely read it. I’m getting some encouragement from the fact that the weights sticker on the B post does quote towing weight. However, the info in the manual...

Has anyone on here got a Skoda Kodiaq VRS that you use for towing. I have a Kodiaq VRS there is no option to change the vehicle and we are looking for our 1st caravan. The information on the interweb of what you can tow if at all, vastly differs for this particular vehicle. For example...

Thanks guys the issue of insurance related to caravan / car weight hadn't crossed my mind, so it's something to consider. (y)
