  1. What mileage are we talking about cornishpastyfarian, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places? I take it you bought privately?
  2. Compared to some of the other cars out there it comes in as one of the cheapest with that mileage and folding rear seats. I've not bought a car for a bout 4 years and from what I can see they've all gone up in price somewhat. I've seen yours and it's a beauty but part ex is the way I need to go unfortunately, not enough cash at the moment. :(
  3. It's an 05 model and it's up for 3.2k, generally as it's been around for a while i'd imagine. There seems to be a full history every 10k or so and the dealer seems quite open about it all and what they have done to it. I suppose best thing would be seeing it in the flesh. I've asked them to send me some pics of the seats so I can make a call. Maybe that last owners were a little more substantial??
  4. Hello all, After some time away with a Seat Altea I have decided to come back to Skoda as I previously had a 2.0tdi Elegance. I've been looking for a 1.9tdi AWX either an A6 Avant or Superb and for certain reasons I think I've finally settled for another Superb. Anyway, I'm planning on viewing a Superb on Saturday but just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts words of wisdom etc. It's a Comfort with 78k miles, very recently had a cambelt and water pump, new clutch and flywheel. The price really suits and they are willing to give a good price on a part ex. However, the dealer has had the car for some time and not shifted it and he has also mentioned that the seats have some wear which has put the Mrs off a little (as she will be driving it mostly). I will obviously check for water ingress etc. but I do think it suits the bill. It is a fair few miles from us so I don't want to have a wasted journey therefore, should I steer clear due to the clutch change and seats or can this be a common occurrence with the 1.9 Comfort? Thanks
  5. Will be sold with a new MOT. I'm open to offers around the £5000 mark.
  6. Thanks for the advice, to be frank, time is the issue. I'll be willing to carry out the MOT but would like to gauge interest first.
  7. I'm based in Bromley, South London, I'll edit the ad! I think I also forgot to say it's a 56 plate. Thanks.
  8. On my runs into Europe I've been getting approx 600 miles on a tank thats around 50mpg but I'm sure you can be more carful with it. Around town it's more like 30-35mpg depending on how you drive it, traffic etc. Thanks, Greg!
  9. I have a Superb 2.0 TDi 140bhp Elegance in metallic cappuccino. It has 60k on the clock and a full service history from local dealership and independent VAG specialist, 56 plate. I am the third owner, however the first the dealership as it was demo model. I have covered just under 40k in the past two and a half years and it has treated me and my family very well, many trips into Europe without a single problem. It's now come to a stage where we need to economise and have to say goodbye to the beast. We have acquired another car meaning that we are unable to run the two and have no choice but to keep the other one. The car currently has an MOT which expires in December but will not have any trouble in getting through. It's currently requiring a service and a cam belt change but I am reluctant to carry this out as we are not using the car and need to fund the other vehicle. As a result I am willing to take a bit of a hit on the price in order to sell it. It has all the usual Elegance spec: Electric/heated leather seats front and back Sat Nav with 06 disc 6 disc CD changer 17” Alloys Climate control Multi function steering wheel Cruise control Parking sensors Ski bag Front arm rest Bi Xenons Heated/illuminated door mirrors Etc.. The only thing missing is the umbrella as the wife left it in a supermarket in Poland!! I am looking for offers over £5000 and a good home for my trusty steed. I shall try and get some more photos up over the weekend, I'm based in Bromley, South London.
  10. No nothing on the status. Drove it around today and no probs, all lights stayed off. May just have been an electrical glitch.
  11. Just come back from a 2500 mile trip across Europe, as usual the car was wonderful and drove faultlessly. Since returning on Sunday I have been using it daily, however, the wife was driving the car this evening and phoned me to tell me that she had a number of lights appear on the dash. When she got home I too saw the lights, ABS EPS & BRAKE SYSTEM lights. She also said that there was a number of beeps while she was driving. I checked the manual and it seems that it could be the brake system or brake fluid. Oh, the refuel light also appeared randomly when we have over 1/4 of a tank left. I checked the brake fluid immediately , all fine, the took the car around the block and no lights appeared at all, breaks and brake pedal worked well without any difference from when I drove it earlier in the day, no fee play etc. Does anyone have any ideas?
  12. When I first bought my Superb I noticed that the insides of the rear tyres were worn. From a distance I then noticed that they were not straight and facing in from the bottom. Eventually, I had the rear axel replaced and two new tyres put on through the warranty. looks like someone tried to jack the car up by the axel and bent it. Possibly could be something to do with a bent axel mrh!
  13. Try checking the headlights, I have the same problem and it transpired that the xenons were not self leveling, wiring problem.
  14. What is this £2.50 part and what needs to be done? I may be replacing the cam belt and water pump soon, is it something that can be done at the same time? Will this repair last or will it have to be repaired again after some time?
  15. Just bought some all round rear sunblinds from these guys for my Superb Mk1. http://www.uvcarshades.co.uk They look great and hopefully will keep the sun away from our 6 month old. Might be worth giving them a call and see if they've started producing them for the Mk2.
