  1. The front cup holder is about my only gripe on the Kadiaq, the 2 holders are just too close to each other. We have 2 genuine Skoda thermal mugs both supplied with our new cars and they don't fit as the cups are pushed apart at an angle. 2 standard McD's coffee cups and be extra careful as lifting one out can knock the lid of the other one! an extra 5-10 mm between the holders would be perfect!
  2. I am sorry but the books must have been in the Huge boxes they came in and are now property of the local tip
  3. I think I still have the instructions but it is a book not just a single sheet, I will see what I can do on Saturday. You do need a good pop rivet gun and most importantly the special tool for fitting the 8mm crush nuts (rivet nuts)
  4. I got a dog guard from Barjo and they have dividers as well but if you don't have the guard you will need to make up a mount for the front edge of the divider as they all use the guard for the front support of the divider
  5. I fitted running boards to mine yesterday (I did buy the genuine ones from superskoda but they don't include the rubber seal that goes along the top of the boards between the body and boards, £15.00 from the dealer.) It took 4 hours but doesn't require any drilling or cutting at all. All in all a fairly straight forward job and you don't have to take the doors of as the instructions say. the only difficult part is you have to fit 4 X 8mm flange (or rivet nuts) in the holes once you take the rubber bungs out of the sills, the holes are predrilled but you do need the tool for fitting the nuts. after that there is a line of "pop rivets" along the top edge of the board where it attaches to the body again it uses the holes from the removed rubber seal. I did these with a combination of a pair of lazy-tong riveter and a hand riveter but you could use just a hand one, I found using a trolley jack under the board made life a bit easier. The instructions tell you to fit a locknut to the 8mm studs on the support brackets but I found it was easier if you left these off until the boards were fitted and then fit when you install the final support. I also used Loctite thread seal on all bolts.
  6. They said it was an exclusive colour, me thinks that is not the case any more!
  7. Its on the cards but bank balance needs a bit of time to recover!
  8. The running boards are genuine Skoda from Superskoda, but be aware that if you buy from them they don't include the rubber gasket that goes between the running board and the sill (£15.00 from the dealer) Had the wheels painted by a local independent paint shop who do wheel refurbishment as part of their services.
  9. Picked my Kodiak on Tuesday, 190 DSG Edition in velvet red with ivory interior, tow bar, heated screen, interior lighting pack, spare wheel, remote rear backrest release and Canton sound system. Running boards to be fitted when I get the time (hopefully next weekend) Had the wheels put into black as I think they look better.
  10. New Kodiaq finally arrived and a bit early! was due for delivery on September 1st but took delivery on the 31 July not worried about new reg as its on a private plate any way, and the dealer gave a couple of incentives to take it early (short on target for month springs to mind) Velvet Red 190 DSG Edition 7 seat with Ivory interior, heated screen, rear seat back rest release, tow bar, front and rear sensors, reversing camera, Canton Sound system, interior light pack and spare wheel. Had the wheels put into Black the day after I picked it up, I think it looks a lot better but that is personal taste. Just got to put the running boards on next weekend (sitting in the garage but SWMBO had other plans for this weekend!)
  11. PXed my 60 plate Superb back in 2013 with 120K on the clock for an E350 E Class estate and bought another E Class 350 in Sept 2015 which is now due for replacement (103K miles on it, tried the new E Class and couldn't get comfortable in it and the price! Went from the Merc dealer to the Skoda dealer next door and tried a Kodiaq Edition, what a cracking piece of Kit!. New one on order for delivery September, 190 Edition 4x4 in Velvet red and Beige interior with 7 seats, towbar, Canton Sound system, heated screen and washers, spare wheel and rearview camera. 6th Skoda we've had and all from same salesman wife's now on her 4th Octavia (2016 150 TDI DSG SEL estate) looking forward to being back on the site
  12. We rejected my wifes first Mk 2 Octavia Elegance 1800 TSI when the DSG box seriously played up within 40 miles of picking it up from the dealer and it was going to take 3-4 weeks for the parts to arrive when they found the fault after 4 days. they replaced the car with no problem. good service from the dealer (Wayside Milton Keynes) and went back for the VRS
  13. We have a TSI with DSG and Milton Keynes to Hull and back got 39 MPG which is the norm travelling at about 80 (sorry officer I meant 71.5) normal mixed driving we get around 30/32mpg. car now done 10K and is just on 1 year old
  14. we ordered the factory one but cancelled it when the dealer phoned and said they have to cut holes in the trim and headlining to fit it
  15. We have them in ours and are very happy with them. With large dog and small grandson there perfect and easy to keep clean
