done 1000miles now in my 2 week old 105 Tdi Monte and can achieve 55-62mpg without really trying!

cheers guys,.I havn't yet experienced any bangs as yet though but i do try to avoid potholes, plenty of those in West Yorkshire!

No problem at all with my Monte headlights..and the fogs are the best I've ever experienced, giving much wider and brighter light than on any other car Ive had including my 3 previous vRS Octy's!

Taken from a Parkers review I found... I don't a any problem with the suspension on my Monte Carlo, maybe a tad lower would be better but certainly no ''horrendous bangs''!!! Imo any car running on 40 series low profile tyres is going to be a hard(er) ride, no mention of this!! ''Have you had any problems with the car? Nothing has gone wrong with it per say. However the suspension that comes standard with the car is very very poor, slight bumps and shallow pot holes on the road make a horrendous bang where any other car i've ever owned would roll over the same area without incident. I went as far as having the whole suspension changed to a Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit Suspension Kit, the outlay was expensive but worth it.''

Yes, I'm wondering what sort of rear bumper your after? btw did I spot you in Elland last Weds afternoon around 4ish?

62 plate collected last Monday. 105Tdi .. Anthracite, Red Seats. Options...Cruise, Armrest, Electric Rear Windows, Autoglym Paint Protection. Love the car but wish it had rear disc brakes and a pair of chrome tailpipes!

Thanks for the replys... with regards to damp weather, does it clear when we have a dry spell?

Will a Yeti 1.4TSI will use any less fuel than a vRS!

Hi Took delivey of new Monte Carlo on Monday. Am delighted with it but have notice today the front Fog Light lenses have steamed up!! I'm sure this has been already discussed but can anyone remind me about this 'problem'. Is this a fault? or does it clear as quickly as it's appeared? It is annoying when in ALL other aspects the car is fantastic. Thanks C.

I considered red but opted for anthracite.. which I'm glad i did, Red is Ok but too many red uns about!

I don't see the point of this model, It looks virtually the same as an Octavia !

Hi Collecting new Monte on Monday from Dealers and enquired today for a phone kit to be fitted but was told by the salesman Skoda don't do them anymore so I would have to go elsewhere! Does this sound right? I wondered if the dealer just dosn't want to do it for some reason!? Cheers.

Hi, Has anyone fitted a Tail Pipe trim to their Monte Carlo!? or does anyone know if their is one that would fit? I've noticed the tailpipes on Monte's seem a long way back from the rear bumper so I dont know if its possible that one would be able to be fitted!? It's seems a shame Skoda didn't fit some nice chrome tail pipes as standard to the Monte!

Hi has anyone fitted or do yu know of a tail pipe trim available or that would fit a Monte Carlo ? Thanks.

btw how do find is the 105 diesel engine ? it's the option I've gone for but seems to come in for some stick!

yep, the dealers or Superskoda maybe? I'm thinking of doing the same...

I'm fancying some Eibach springs for my soon to arrive Monte but will the warranty be affected by fitting aftermarket parts?

and used cars have 20% VAT added as well.. so daft as it sounds a new Skoda is less than a year old model!!

Hi All Soon I'll have a 105bhp Underpowered and Clattery Diesel Engined Monte Carlo to look forward to and images of my dad in a disco!! Convince me that the guy who wrote this is wrong. .http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/skoda-fabia-monte-carlo-reviewed/257859 Cheers

Had message from dealer today about my Monte which is scheduled for build week 36 (Sept 3rd) Dealer said usually 4/5 weeks delivery from then.

lovely tailpipes, same design as I had on the Octy when I had it. Wish Milltek did a system for the Monte Carlo which as we all know dosn't have any tailpipes as standard!

I wish the Monte had at least 1 chrome tailpipe out the back as standard! I notice Miltek have recently launched a new system for the latest vRS only.

I thought it odd that the Monte Carlo has rear drums but why in Norway does it have discs and not the UK!?
