I bought it to save it but due to circumstances I've posted this topic. I'm loathed to break it, thanks for the advice/opinion. What I would like is for someone to want to save it!

I've just bought a 2003 Octavia Estate (Laurin and Klement model) but I think I'll move it on or break it, NEEDING SOME ADVICE ON THIS !! Is it worth my while, do folks still look for swapping bits out of a better model into a base model car??! Here it is.....

My wife's VRS has the projector type headlights (NOT HID) with H7 type bulbs for dipped beam, up 'till now I've just used Quantum bulbs from TPS if one's needed replacing. BUT, I was contemplating LED bulbs...…….worth it yes/no? Could it potentially cause a problem with the control side of the lamps? And (the usual question!) will it let the light-check system think there's a bulb out?! Was thinking of these...…… https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/collections/headlight-led-bulbs/products/led-headlight-conversion-bulbs-h7-4600-lumen-philips-z-es-main-dipped-glb477 …..anyone??

Going on from this... http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/345966-vrs-diesel-need-to-know/ Picked this up today after looking around for a VRS estate for a few months now. It's a 2.0 CR diesel with slightly high miles I think, 116k. Drove 200 miles home no problem. Looking to get some mudflaps on it, not spats(if possible), can anyone advise some decent ones?? According to the service book the service interval is QG1/variable length ??.......whatever that is!! Anyway it appears to have been serviced every 18-20k at Mitchell Skoda in Chester. So.......what oil should I be putting in it when I change it? .....and those window deflector things, thinking of getting some, is there a certain make I should get that are good? Cheers, John.
