Ive decided to get two spare wheels with winter tyres on them so prob going for steel rims. Currentlty have 17" alloys. Any feedback as to what size and where i should get them? bearing in mind that knowing the British weather we may not get any more snow

nope i dont have a button. ill look in the car thingy but havent seen it as sure i would have noticed it

Theres no on off switch for the tc

My 2014 octavia estate black edition 1.6 tdi has traction control which i cant seem to switch off esp when im going through snow which resulted in spinning of front wheels. Is it poss to switch off? Whats best mode for snow? Normal, sport or eco?

anyone know where i can get good seat covers for front and back for my 2014 octavia estate (has ski hole in back seat) thanks

Think ill stick to using the roof!

hi my octavia 1.9tdi estate is no longer on the road due to it not being economical to maintain after the subframe at front has broken. so if anyone wants to buy the car for spares contact me. car is in falkirk.

I have a 2001 1.9 tdi diesel octavia estate and needs more oil. what oil do i get as ive had conflicting suggestions from the manual to what halfords say i should get? cheers

go to a skoda garage and they'll rip u off esp as garages arent selling many cars (despite what they say the scrappage scheme is doing) if you need cambelt done id seriously think of getting garage to do it find an independant gargage who specialise in vw and skoda and see how much they charge. u may save money if your mate does it but if he f*cks it up it cost u more! but if hes good (which im sure he is) go for it! you can help him out and it may save you more money in long run! if you need cambelt done id seriously think of getting garage to do it

just so u all know i went to an independant garage who specialises in vw and skoda and they laughed at price chatham skoda quoted of £180 for new undertray and told me i didnt really need it but looked at it and they fixed it there and then for free!! its been fine ever since! (as long as I dont go over Edinburghs' speed bumps!)
