[vRS TDI so far...]

Received my new dashcam today from eBay - the DDPai M6+. Brilliant delivery and impressed with it so far.

Apple esque box and easy to install and use with an app. USB power lead is hidden better than I thought I could - see pics.

Lead is going under lip of fabric before windscreen and down inside side pillar - all done by hand.

And here's a clip for those interested in the quality. Picture sound is me trying out the single pic via a separate button - records an 11 second clip alongside this. Great for when I see various classic or supercars on my travels.

I've ordered the same camera. It's coming with a hard wire kit. If I'm brave enough to fit it, I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks

Mine was worse than this. Bump n scuff in carlisle fixed it for £80. Next day turnaround. They do it on a lathe so you get the proper diamond cut finish then they relacquer the whole wheel.

Was it xtreme alloys you got repaired as well? I live near to Carlisle and would get mine repaired their if you recommend them. Thanks, Paul.

[How long for orders from Superskoda?]

Mine took a week.

Another grey VRS. I've the only one where I live. All the others I've seen are blue or white.

[OEM vRS Mudflaps]

Fitted mine yesterday. Ordered front and back along with a boot mat from Superskoda for just over £50.

Easy to fit. Fronts you can just put the wheels on full lock. I never bothered with the third screw. There secure enough at the moment. If that changes I'll put it in. Had to take the back wheels off, the 3 holes are already there and line up with no problems. Took under half an hour to do them all.

[H&R Springs]

They were the answers I was looking for!! Looks like I'll be treating myself in the January sales!

[H&R Springs]

I had the work done at a place in Wigan.

Looks the business now. What a difference they've made. Would you say the ride is more harsh than before? We have a baby and that's the only thing that worries me about getting mine done.

[H&R Springs]

Dave I have exactly the same car as you. That looks spot on! Like you say, how it should have looked coming out the factory. Where did you buy the springs?

[Credit where credit's due]

I got my order from them today. Took 6 days from ordering to arriving. I thought it may have taken longer given the time of the year. First time I have used them and have no complaints.

[Anyone else had this problem?]

Thanks for all the advice. I'll contact the local dealer tomorrow and take it from there.

[Anyone else had this problem?]

I picked up my 15 plate Octavia VRS estate last week. Now that I've had a chance to give it a run I noticed a wind noise coming from the rear drivers side door. At first I thought the window must have been open a little but it wasn't.

It starts at around 60mph and is very noticeable. I have checked the door seals and they are all fine.

It's put such a downer on the new car. I absolutely love the car but this noise is driving me crazy. So much so I'm thinking of returning it.

[VW key upgrade done.]

Just ordered mine. £5.99 on eBay.

**** SOLD ****

I have the exact same box and i bought it on here for the same price (bargain). Just out of interest what do you have yours set too and did DTUK set it up? Trying to figure out the best position for the needles as i bought it used i had no help from DTUK themselves..

Sorry for the thread hijack and GLWTS!

I had mine set at 3+1. I found it to be the most responsive with a smooth power delivery. On a good run at a steady speed I was also getting 62mpg.

I set it up myself. It was very easy to do following the instructions.

For sale

DTUK CRD-t tuning box.

The box was fitted to my 2010 Octavia VRS, which makes the car the way it should have when it left the factory! Responsive, no lag, improved MPG and an overall pleasure to drive!!

I have had absolutely no issues with the box or car since it was fitted and I am only selling it as I have traded the car in.

It comes as new in the box with instructions and loom etc.

I also still have the receipt. The box cost £365 (including Briskoda discount)

I am selling for £150 including delivery.

Any ??? Feel free to ask.

[Finally made the move from mk2-mk3 forum]

It's diesel. 15 plate ex manager / demo car. Has colour maxi-dot and a few other extras. Was advertised at £20,595 which I didn't think was too bad a price?

[Finally made the move from mk2-mk3 forum]

After 4 years of happy motoring the time has came to trade in my 2010 Octavia VRS for a grey Octavia VRS manual estate. Can't wait to pick it up! Only one pic as it was pouring down, will upload more when I get it.

[VWR springs fitted]

Here's some pics, last one is a before and after

Looks really good and more of a standard look as opposed to some of the other lowering springs. Did the VW springs come from a 3 or 5 door golf? Does it matter???

[Post your Mk3 Octavia photos!]

H&R springs + 15mm Eibach Spacers

Have you got more pictures from the side and front view?!

[Brand new Octavia VRS on 40mm H&R lowering springs.]

Do you have a side on pic?

Also have you fitted them to any estates?

Thanks

[Post your Mk3 Octavia photos!]

Looks stunning Skodanorman. I've got a black mk2 VRS. Was thinking of upgrading it to a white mk3 VRS but after seeing this I'll be getting black again!

[Dash Cams]

Does anyone know of a company that supply and fit dashcams? Don't fancy attempting it myself!

[NOW SOLD !]

Are the side window blinds still for sale?
