hi all, we are picking our new car up on friday [ am still in mourning for our old one, it only 'died' last saturday] but my husband has just told me that the only problem with the new car [a picasso] is that they break down if you play robbie williams cd's on them . i wondered if anyone has come accross this problem ? sue.- an avid robbie fan.

hi jean, i have printed off your reply. i am sure he will be so relieved to know that. lol. sue.

Hi Sue, They are prone to Engine management computer going wrong, a friend at work has a new one ( 6 months old )and has had two new units fitted. Sorry. Baz

hi baz- the main thing is that i can play robbie ! dont care if the car works- i wont be driving it. lol sue.

My son's last car was a Picasso, and it was very comfy and nice and high up (perfect for little short-houses like me - I could see the scenery). He had one or two little rattles, and I do recall that during the summer he had to have some shield things fitted to the windows to reflect the wind, otherwise it ruffled the dog's hair (who sat in the back) Otherwise I think he was pleased, exept when it came to the servicing - expensive I think. Good luck though - they look lovely. Jacqui

Hi Sue. How are you? My son is a car mechanic. Although he has just started working with Lexus and is about to be entered as Technician of the year in England. He had worked on Citreon's for the past three years. Brand new ones and very old ones.Knows then like the back of his hand. He has been up and down the country with them. If you do get one and have any trouble just let me know. He will give you online advise. That goes for anyone else who needs it. Jennyxx

oh heck- i have 2 rottweillers ! wouldnt want their fur ruffled. sue [ ps its 'wicked red' with loads of room in the back - lol]

Sue, Try playing Chas and Dave. When you break down,somebody will take pity on you,and give you a tow,to the local doctor.lol Baz

jacqueline- my hubby as said my middle name should be picasso- cos i am high maintenance and expensive to service ! hiya jenny- i have just added to your thread- saying how dissapointing it was- lol. baz, do you REALLY think people will stop for us if we are playing chas and dave ? i think i would hide in one of those footwells it would be so embarrasing. lol sue

Sue, You could always put a Skoda badge on it,,,,,sorry.lol

baz- might try the skoda badge when we go to pay for it- might get it cheaper. lol sue.

Sue, Seriously now, since my mate`s had the problem sorted,he`s had no trouble with it whatsoever,in fact he tows a caravan with it, and loves it. Baz

Hi Gaynor, What do they call a Skoda convertable, A `Skip`. LOL Sorry, couldn`t resist it. Baz

oooooooooooooooh thats fighting talk baz, lol-[whoops -sorry glitter baby] sue
