64VRS

So in November I was in a non-fault collision and my 17 plate mk3.5 vRS was written off as a result. I recently found a hyper green mk4 vRS TDI but it went before I could purchase it due to the distance from my house and work 😢 I really like the colour so begs the question, as most of the hyper green cars are TSI do I make the switch to petrol or continue the hunt for a hyper green TDI? My journey is mainly motorway and a normal round trip is 40 miles which is why I have always chose diesel! What are people’s thoughts? I appreciate this will have been asked and answered before.

I have had my service done today and been told that my NSR shock absorber is misting. Can someone please advise how I can look for the price of a new shock absorber so I can tell if the price I get quoted is right? Plus if I wanted to lower my car would this impact on which shock absorber I was to choose? I have a MK3.5 Octavia vRS estate. (Apologies for the dealer photo, it's all I can add at present)
