  1. Purchased our Octavia rs estate new Jan 2011, just had an MOT and showing just over 30,000 miles, still enjoying the car.
  2. Unsure to what extent they are open, but had the usual reminders for servicing and mot at the Skoda garage.
  3. It's surprising how quick they have appeared, seems the cold, damp weather has accelerated the reaction. I've told them to get it looked at by the supplying dealer this week. Hopefully all will go well and get sorted.
  4. Not sure of the full history, as it was purchased from a Skoda dealer about 2 years ago. The issue certainly seems to be from below the paint and limited to the 2 panels.
  5. Has anyone had issues with blisters on the paintwork? I gave my parents 67 plate citigo a quick wash off today and came across issues on the passenger side door and rear arch.
  6. I've spotted the replacement tether on AliExpress, no idea how easy it is to replace. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000127832526.html?pid=808_0000_0105&spm=a2g0n.search-amp.list.4000127832526&aff_trace_key=cedf2239e7be474d9451977d2e43ce30-1589834916228-05102-faAFfIR&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=245amp-IiIrx_cE30vyE8lZ8yzCXA1589834940413&browser_id=739bc2b4a42749a48e94e179273a9793&is_c=N
  7. Don't think the logbook will show the previous owners details due to GDPR, think the best you get now is the number of owners.
  8. Those scratches, could they be where a dent removal specialist has 'pushed' dents out of the bonnet?
  9. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/163781-how-to-fix-the-cd-changer-mechanic-error/?hl=mechanic#entry3066277
  10. I got some of these window blinds http://www.carshades.co.uk/shades-skoda-octavia-2004-c-2729_3662_3676_3677.html The rear window is in 2 parts, but I can live with the middle join line for the price, especially when compared to the official Skoda blinds.
  11. I find the octavia is the ideal family transport, there is usually a 3 year old in a car seat, a 10 year old and a 14 year old squabbling among themselves in the back of ours. My preference is the estate over hatchback, but there's nothing like a test drive to answer any doubts.
  12. But you'll never know their response without trying, for the sake of a visit to the nearest dealer, the worst they say is no.
  13. Have you not thought of getting Skoda to look at it under the body perforation warranty?
