Same as MarkTB here. Cancelled straight away and kept the perks. Get it confirmed in in an email from the dealer just to be sure.

Prviously had an Octavia (for over 9 years) then changed to a Nissan X-Trail. Never really gelled with that car and so have just pulled the trigger on a 20 plate Kodiak so am back in the Skoda fold! Looking forward to learning all about the new beast.

You are correct with that, but I don't like to sit at the lights for any length of time with my foot on the brake so it shines into the eyes of the driver behind. Stick it park and foot off, only takes a second.

Thanks for advice guys, and I'll check the boot - see if there is a sticker about the software update. I do tend to stick it into neutral when I stop as I found it was fighting the brake, so hopefully the clutches have quite a bit of life left in them.

I've got a 63 plate 1.6 Mk3 with the 7 speed DSG box and its coming up to 65k miles. Love the DSG box for driving and have never had a problem with it (touches wood) Forgive my ignorance of the DSG but does a DSG clutch wear like you would expect a traditional clutch to need a new plate and bearing after so many miles? If so what sort of mileage could I expect to get out of before requiring what I guess would be an expensive job to replace. Thanks in advance

+1 for the Bosch blades. Got mine from Halfords, about £28 for the pair if I remember right, very happy with them.

Cheers Freedom, should have searched the forum first before starting a new post

Many thanks Menumorut. Is it a glass sunroof, or a metal tilt and slide?

Hi, first time posting here. I'm just about to order a 1.6 elegance hatchbach DSG and can't decide about a sunroof. A mate said he'd looked at them and they were a panoramic sunroof and looked great, however looking in the brochure and on the website it looks like an ordinary sized sunroof. Anyone know what size it is? (There is a pic of an estate in the brochure with what likes a big sunroof, but I can't seem to see that offered as an option for the estate) Thanks in anticipation for any help.
