No, so far only a three-month old factory finish and a wipe with detailing spray after each wash.

I realise you have now made a choice, but my answer to the your question would have been 'if you can't make up your mind, go for the one you can get the best deal on!' As pointed out in other threads, if you are prepared to accept an in-port car and compromise on colour, you have good leverage for freebie extras.

First frosty morning with my new car. Opened the fuel tank flap and got to work with my fab Simply Clever free ice scraper!

I've seen only one other MK3 Scout on the road in the ten weeks I've had mine. I find that surprising when I compare it to the 20-30 MK3 vRS's I've spotted in the same period.

I think the one must have option is a spare wheel. It's the only one I have.

I have leased a Scout, and, as you say, the cost of extras is paid in full over the lease period. So I went with standard halogens and had HBA (or ILA if you prefer) put on by VCDS. I'm happy enough with the halogens and extremely pleased with the HBA system. I haven't yet felt the need to dip manually before it operates.

So did my Scout.

If that had happened to me I reckon I would have been on the phone to Eddie Stobart yesterday. Not in hope of changing anything, just to check out the dealer's story!

I think this is all to do with resetting the steering angle sensors - if it is you should try to find a Hunter-equipped garage that has Codelink.

Personally I think that's pretty good going!

There are key protectors on Ebay that stand slightly proud of the buttons so that the centre one doesn't stick out. They also - and I apologise if I'm stating the obvious here - protect the key.

It might not be reIevant or helpful, but for information I added HBA on my MY16 using VCDS and I still have the DriveGreen page (if that is the one you have lost.)

£3.50 delivered from CPC. I don't know if it's the same size as the Skoda triangle, but mine came from a French Hypermarket and fits neatly in the straps in the offside compartment behind the wheel arch. (MY16 Scout.)

Hello everyone - I've been posting for a month but never introduced myself here. I leased a manual Scout in September after getting fed up with throwing more and more money at the 16-year old Pug 406 I had been attempting to nurse through a couple more years. It all happened very quickly, I found some good deals online, went for a test drive and the Sales Manager at the dealership offered to match the best deal I had found if I took one of the cars already available at the port. Delivery was less than five weeks later.
