Many thanks. Just to syphon off a little more of your knowledge, does this also mean I could take the battery out of the vehicle and charge it? I'm reluctant to charge it on the car with the ancient battery charger I have because I have no idea about the quality of its output and would not want to screw up anything in my car's electronics.

Nope. Just a plain vanilla estate. 🙂

Like many folks I suspect, I haven't driven my Superb for more than 35 days. When I opened the car today I heard the dreaded soft chimes of the low battery warning. The car's a 2013 reg, so a new battery might be needed. I had imagined I might have to find a way to keep a 12v supply on the car while the battery got changed. But it seems like I could just take out the old and put a new one in, naturally taking the normal precautions to keep all the power in the battery and not allow any short circuits!! Have I interpreted your above giudance correctly? Thanks.

Colleagues I want to install a set of rear parking sensors on my estate car. Can anyone point me towards a set of instructions that will help me remove the trim in the load area (so I can get access to the 12V live feed to the reversing light) without damaging said trim? Many thanks; have a good one!

Just joined. My wife has owned a 2010 Skoda Octavia for 3 years, and I have just bought a Skoda Superb Estate. It's a 1.4 TSI in basic S trim, with ca 14K on the clock. There were only 2 cars in my price rage, Amethyst Purple Metallic or Brilliant Silver Metallic, and I chose the Amethyst because I thought it was an unusual colour. It has 2 years Skoda warranty and 2 years Skoda assist left to run, so I'm looking forward to at least a couple of years of trouble-free motoring!
