Sorry, misunderstanding. You spoke of an auto and then mentioned 'P' so understandably thought you meant P on the gear stick quadrant. you didn't say P BRAKE! Parking brake is electrically operated by the little lever marked P to the rear of the gear stick and puts the BRAKES on all 4 wheels. If you...

I refer the honourable lady to my previous explanation given re hand BRAKE in reply to you post above

Hello Alethea, Welcome to the forum. NEVER, EVER Try to move the lever into P when moving or you will end up spending £thousands on a new gearbox. P locks up the transmission by putting a pawl into teeth in the gearbox. It is NOT a hand brake and the vehicle should NEVER be left on a hill with gear ...

Thanks Kodiak You are quite right and Meadens have been there a long time so they must be doing something right.

BRILLIANT gear box, no jerks at all. Go for it!

Buying from Meadens I presume? The best Skoda dealer for miles around. I live in Poole and travel to Meadens to buy and service. Six Skodas from them so far.
Wouldn't touch the Bournemouth dealer with a barge pole!

Welcome Sandys,
You will be joining an enthusiastic bunch here. Draig is coming up for 5, I am on my 7th. One often gets bitten by the Skoda bug.
