Yes, a long run with a gentle right foot and some 50/60mph roadworks would see 38+. My best was 41mpg over a 200 mile journey!

It was a great car and I really enjoyed it, surprised quite a few people with how quick it is! Had full MD history too although their advert didn't say so. Only thing that grated was the 25mpg around town and since a lot of our driving is around town, we decided to go electric on salary sacrifice instead.

My old Superb 280 was with Cazoo and fitted that description but looks like it might have sold now. Was Business Grey over cream with sunroof and many other options.

Did you sell on here please @z1ts? I'm not a Freedom member and Cazoo are offering £21k for my "17" L&K 280 - wondering if it's worth signing up to get a bit more than that or just taking the easy route. I don't want to be sat on it for much longer since I have a new company car that's already arrived.

I think I'm going to go for the MOT elsewhere and then the service at the main dealer. If I was going to keep the car, I'd just go independent, but given I might not, I think there might be value in full main dealer service history (although quite why people value this, I'll never know), I'd always take a good indie service history over a main dealer if buying, I think it shows that the owner has given some thought to the service history.

That's true, but am I likely to devalue the car (given potential impending sale) if I break the current full main stealer history for the sake of a couple of hundred £?

I think I was adding MOT and service together, I guess I could get the MOT done locally and then service at the main dealer as an alternative - hadn't thought about that.

I bought my 2017 Superb L&K 280 with 30k miles in March 2021 and got it serviced at the Chester main dealer in 2022, 12 months after. I've tried to book it in for this year and they have nothing until mid-April (it's due end of March!). It's coming up to 42k miles now so I need a 6 year service (+pollen +air filter) and a gearbox oil change (40k miles) plus MOT at a cost of almost £500 (plus any parts which might include new front pads since they were mentioned last year as being low). I'm considering selling the car in the not too distant future (potential company car) but given the age, is it worth continuing with main dealer servicing this year or going independent? If the latter, any recommendations around Wilmslow/Stockport/Macclesfield would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'd like to buy a boot liner for my Superb estate for protection from muddy buggys and bikes but don't know which to get. I have the variable floor (although I have no idea what its use is?), does this make a difference to the boot liner I need? Thanks AyB

The state of the steering wheel and seat bolster on that 5 series is crazy for less than 30k miles! The benefit, to me, of the Skoda is the much newer car and better spec. I picked up a 2017 L&K 280 for low £20k's, the equivalent 5 series is up towards £30k.

I assume it'll be uneconomical to get it removed from your car and then fitted to anyone elses or are you just looking to sell the neck?

A timely topic. I've got a rattle on my 2017 L&K which I thought had gone when the main dealer said there were some loose heat shields, but it's still there at just under 2k rpm which is when the car changes gear when taking it easy. I think it's in the driver's door but not too sure. Also, any recommendations for toolkits for removing panels would be appreciated.

Thanks - it was the dealer that fitted both. Apparently they fitted 2 Nexens and then one got a puncture before they shipped it to me and they only had the Conti in stock so fitted that...

My new (to me) 280 has just turned up and I've been having a poke around. The car is a 17 plate (March 2017) but think it's a MY16 with the 8" screen. - KESSY - is it not possible to disable KESSY on my car using the touch the lock on the button and touch the doorhandle trick? - The car has 3 Nexens and 1 Conti (dealer used car) - are tyres not supposed to at least match across axle (surprised it's come from the dealer like this)? - The car came with 2 keys, how many should I have (internet seems to say 2 or 3?). Thanks Andrew

Brake fluid done, haldex done, DSG not done. I phoned a different dealer who said that needed doing at 40k miles regardless of age. Given they don't have a vested interest in the sale, I went with what they said. I may get the DSG done once it arrives though. Thanks all for your help.
