  1. Just to echo everybody else don't give up keep adjusting your seat you'll get there in the end, I'm 6ft 4" and it took me a while to get "the" perfect driving position. Regular drives from home across Europe (5 or 6 hours driving in one go) no aches no pains. Your car is far too nice to give up.
  2. Just to put my two penneth in I have had mk1, mk2 and a mk3 Octavia I loved the MK 2 VRS great car then moved to a couple of Superbs fantastic cars,then on to a mk3 VRS got rid after a year not impressed back to the Superb I went much better. Now saving up for a mk3 Superb estate, 280 of course.
  3. I'm off down to my local car dealer, he's got a lovely VW Touareg 5.0 V10 on a 06 plate cleaner than my Superb apparently never mind the 20 odd mpg !!!
  4. +1 for Rearguards.co.uk(RGM) I had one on my Octy VRS now got one on my Superb. Top quality,looks fantastic, great fit whole heartedly recommended.
  5. +2, they are proving a very popular purchase as Wile7 says drill a hole job done.
  6. Newest to oldest 63 plate back through time to 1996 R reg!!. Skoda Octavia VRS TDI estate (mk 3) Skoda Superb 140 SE hatch Skoda Superb 170 Elegance Estate Audi A6 Le Mans editition Estate 3.0 tdi Skoda Octavia VRS Estate (mk2) Skoda Octavia VRS Estate (mk2) VW Golf R32 Skoda Octavia VRS hatch (mk1) Ford Escort 1.8 SI (hatch)
  7. As the title says rear wiper stopped working, it was fine on the way to Harwich ferry port got off many hours later driving from the Hook to Germany it got abit soggy after about twenty minutes of driving put the rear wiper on nothing. That was three days ago it hasn't shown any signs of life as yet which is okay while its stinking hot but sooner or later it's going to be needed. I have had a look on here for similar topics and found a couple all to do with the boot not being shut properly, my boot is of the powered variety so I would of thought that is unlikely. Perhaps it's a blown fuse? I cannot take the car to my local Skoda garage as SWMBO has it and she is a couple of hours away with work. So my fellow Briskodians over to you for possibilities as to why it's packed up. Car is fantastic still think it's way better than a Octy mk3.
  8. After getting shot of my mk3 Octy VRS the things I like best are the refinement, the pano roof the power opening and closing boot lid ( must get it coded to get rid of the beeps) the space the torque of the cr170 engine infact all of it.
  9. This is going to be one popular car makes the "new" Mondeo look old and past it. I can see it now auto tests between a Passat estate and the new Superb load lugger. Superb wipes the floor, Superb no brainer just some of the strap lines. Might get one in a few years see how much used ones are going for. Residual values will I dare say be much better than our Octavia brothers are getting now.
  10. Unfortunately not the Megaberb ( kids description) will be a present to myself when I "retire" from Her Majesties Armed Forces. Still a very rare beastie, I have to make do with video clips on you tube and virtual shopping..... For now.
  11. Great looking motor, they do look smart in white. Enjoy.
  12. Well well I was a bit of with my estimating the time frame, it arrived today well chuffed bargain price and a handy bit of kit, my first mod!!! Now do I buy those carbon effect Skoda badges on fleabay so tempting
  13. I would be concerned if it was my car and it was driven recklessly/dangerously going through red lights that sort of thing. A few mph over the speed limit nah I wouldn't be.
  14. You only live once ignore your head that is one heck of a motor bet you could nudge the price down aswell.
  15. Thanks for putting the link up Wile7 Good looking car and a great price anybody tempted?
  16. In my mind the cost of running the 3.6 would be no different than running a used Jeep Grand Cherokee or VW tourage (2007) or a pick up truck Nissan Navara or Isuzu Rodeo (2006-2009) Toyota Hilux nice but pricey,apart from the Berb would be newer and far more reliable not to mention faster. As I require a vehicle that has a huge boot/ load area I think the 3.6 makes the best choice, my milage from August is going to reduce from around 18-20k a year back to normal'ish 12k so the saving on the reduced milage should cover a few months driving a 3.6 estate just got to find one, it would be easier to find the Holy Grail.
  17. Same in the army nowadays the REME mechanics whether they be A mech or B mech ( armored or soft skin vehicles) just swap out parts.
  18. Searching the Internet for anything to do with the very rare 3.6 Berb, I came across for sale on Desperate seller a black hatch 2009 Elegance spec'd 3.6, full Skoda history 45k miles for sale at £8,995. Must be some Briskies on here looking for one of these think it's located Watford way. Not for me I'm afraid I'm after the estate version but thought I'd share on here.
  19. It's the one thing that bugs me about my super dooper berb, definitely getting muted when I'm next home.
  20. One word - JELOUS. Okay two ENJOY.
  21. Seatskinz a company based in Wigan proper posh a million miles away from what you get from Halfords or Ebay probably cost considerably more too. Have a look on their website I was going to get some for my VRS but after 15 months ownership I got rid. Going to get some for my lovely Superb now instead.
  22. So the chances of me snagging a 3.6 are about as equal as platting fog or finding hens teeth. I ain't gonna give up just yet when I do I might have a look at a 6.1 Chrysler 300c tourer quite a few of them around might do as a substitute.
  23. I have seen the video for this car absolutely mental fast,time warp speed, and the worlds most hideous interior two tone brown and orange vomit inducing!!! But the speed of that thing !!!
  24. You know Skoda should make a limited run of the Fabia R5 say 500 units obviously not the proper full Monty rally job but a version that looks nearly the same with around 200 hp only available in white,black and blue. I reckon they would shift the lot in no time, I'd have one.
