Thanks for that

I’ve just bought a new Skoda Octavia Estate. My last car, also an Octavia Estate, had a shelf fitted in the boot which kept the boot flat ( level with the tailgate). I found this really useful. It could be folded up so you could use the space underneath. Does anyone know where you can buy one or get it fitted. I contacted a local Skoda dealer and they couldn’t help. cheers pete

Thanks for all the advice. Hopefully I’ll be able to sort it out.

Thanks for the advice. It just seemed strange how it wouldn’t start at all, and then suddenly it just starts at the first turn of the key.

I’ve got a Skoda Octavia 1.9 Diesel. It’s on a 57 plate and has done about 150,000 miles now. It has always started really well but recently it has been playing up when the engine is warm. It will start up first thing, but when I’ve driven somewhere and parked up it won’t start again. It just keeps turning over and over again. If I leave it for a while then it seems to start again ok. Last time it just wouldn’t start at all....tied it on and off for well over an hour. I eventually had to call the brake down service and of course it started first time when he came. He told me it was probably the crank sensor that was to blame. Does this sound right? I was thinking it might be the glow plugs? Any advice?
