Hey Guys, so like a muppet i have lost the 'key' part of the 'locking' wheel nuts.... anyone have any suggestions on where i can find a set of 4 nuts, and the locking nut / piece? car is a 57 plate Octavia VRS estate. Many thanks! A.

Still for sale?

Thanks all The Scout is very similar to those 2 links above.... And it's also a 2.0 TDI 140. What's the deal with para cars - assume they have been looked after well.... Think my wife is keen on the Scout for the reasons above - higher position, ease to put kids buggys in the boot etc.... Hopefully seeing it again today. Thx A

Thinking of getting a AA inspection as the seller is a 'little shifty'... assume if I asked them, they would be able to check all this? Thanks.

In the blue corner is a 57 plate VRS with 81k on the dash for 5k, in v good condition. In the silver corner is an 09 plate Scout with 121k on the dash for 4.7k, not as well looked after but still in 'good' condition. Both have FSH & 2 owners, the VRS is being sold by a family, the Scout by an independent car salesman. The Scout owner will therefore take my current Golf as PX, which is a plus side, otherwise it's autotrader for that one. On this scant information above... Any suggestions on which one to plump for? Like them both, Scout marginally cheaper to insure - and both work for carting my wife and I, plus small child (and associate stuff) around town, and on bigger trips when required. Many thanks for your comments.

Yup, it's a pre FL. Will check the rest when I next see the car. Thx

Really helpful, many thanks for this. Alex.

Hi guys, Looking to get a Scout, and seen one for sale for 5k that I like the look of. Having another look tomorrow and wondered if there's anything you all recommend I should check before agreeing to purchase... It's got 120k on the clock, so am going to check all the work that's been done as there's a FSH and receipts. Will of course check the cam belt and water pump have been done within this period. Alloys look a bit 'tired' and could do with a facelift as well. Finally would this 09 plate have been pre/post the FL that Skoda carried out? Any telling signs to know? Anything else you can recommend? Many thanks for the words of wisdom...! Alex.
