Hiya. I am totally new to this forum AND totally new to an Octavia, Its an Octavia III estate; TDI 2.0 CR LE S I really love this car but one of the main attractions (after considering emissions (tax) and mpg, both of which are exceptional) was the DAB. And its turning into a bit of a disappointment. I'm also sure it's been covered on this forum but there are thousands of posts so apologies. I'd like to hear people's experiences. One day it can on the drive, great reception and be ok "most" of the way to the office 100 miles away, right into the office car park. Then next day, whilst still in the office car park - its really REALLY pants and doesn't truly recover all the way home. I end up playing mp3s :o( I listen exclusively to 6 music so there is no FM alternative. The previous car was a xsara picasso retro-fitted with a DAB/mp3/CD and i NEVER had any problems with that - even with the magnetic aerial stuck to the INSIDE of the boot! I'm not sure I want to hear the answer ..... but Is it a design flaw in this car? Have we picked a duffer? Cheers Ian
