I found out from here it wont have a cd player, the sales guy said it would! I ordered end of June, expecting delivery any time now as it has been shipped. I think the worst thing about the cd player is the awful lump of plastic in its place!
-
I've read mixed info re this so whats the experience on here? Will it play apple m4A files? Is it a major PITA to get album artwork to work? I'll be fed up if it is with the new cars not having cd players...

I'll take it to a detailer then. How long do the coatings last. The life shine is marketed as a lifetime protectant. Is this not the case? Is it just a heavy duty wax? -
Is it worth the £250 price? The dealer has said they will do it foc but no literature or warranty will be given. Do I trust them? Is there a way to tell if it has been done? I paid for it on my mk2 but the interior didnt seem any mor water repllant than standard...

Octavia SE L spec
nicowalker85 replied to Madasaskaven's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
That's a bloody good price for an SE L, is it hp or pcp? You have more extras at a lower price. (I rang round loads of dealers and haggled like mad) -

Octavia SE L spec
nicowalker85 replied to Madasaskaven's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I ordered mine through them. They haven't a clue when it comes to specs. Ring skodauk to check. I had to. My winter pack was £600 (inc front seats) -
Maybe I haven't been clear enough. I know that if I order a new spare, it will be a space saver. I already have a full size 16" from my mk2 My question was will this fit? Will it fit in the boot correctly? What problems os it likely to cause?
-
I have gone for 17", im aware that the configurator spare is a space saver. Surely a full size wheel is safer? Thats why I wanted to use my full size if possible.
-
Thanks for the links I'll save them for if it doesn't fit well enough
-
I'll look on ebay for a jack then, cheers
-
How different is the underboot storage, will the mk2 polystyrene fit in the mk3 (i dont mind minor modification)
-
With my mk2 estate I have a full size 16" spare wheel. The dealer has advised me to keep it as it will fit the mk3. Is this the case? My new one is a SE L estate.

Just rang skodauk to track my order. Ordered june 28th expected at retailer early October. I make that 14 weeks! I only had to wait 7 for my mk2. Does adding quite a few extras tend to delay it? -
Octavia Cabin/Road Noise
nicowalker85 replied to bhoywonder's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
My mk2 elegance came with contis, these were ridiculously loud on motorways. Chamged to michelin energy and its so much quieter but vague when going into bends... I had a couple of decent test drives in the mk3 and found there to be less wind noise, probably making road noise more noticable. (Both estates) -

The door trims, especially in the back are awfull, but there is noway id go for fake wood either. Has anybody installed an alternative? -
