Does anyone know of any major or significant changes made to the 2007 estate in 2008 ?

Thanks everyone! That did it. I think the RDS route sounds very logical. Maybe in the 09.

Can someone help me understand how to change the time on the "Stream" radio? The manual speaks of how to turn it off and on in the display, but doesn't seem to show how to change the time itself. Must be possible!!

Hi, I want to cover my 2007 Octavia Combi with a well made fitted car cover. Too much tree sap and wet leaves fall on my parking spot. Does anyone know where I can order one of good quality?

My 07 Octavia has the Stream radio without GPS. Does anyone recommend an after market GPS system that goes well with the 07 dash? Thanks

Thanks Chris.G! I'll try that.

I purchased textile floor mats and rubber floor mats from my Skoda dealership. They have instructions that show them attaching to each other via plastic screws. But then it is not clear how they would attach to the floorboard. The dealership says they have no idea. I think there should be pegs installed in the floorboard at the factory, like in Audi's and VW's. Does anyone know about this or have floorboard pegs for mats in their 07 Octavia?

Right on. This is in a big way was what I wanted to learn.

From my time in the U.S. I always understood that Americans like the English and consider them allies and hold them in a very high regard. True they may occasionally chuckle about some customs and such, but for years they loved and respected the queen and the princess (as observers). Too bad that may no go two ways anymore.

Good idea Wazza_G!, but before that I will try the dealer again. If nothing else it will help our dealership here see that they can do it if they try. Skoda part numbers should do the trick even if I pay the postage or a fee.

No not on the wrong forum, just that like I can use the whole site as it presented. I wanted a general British opinion to contrast what I read and hear in our small Baltic nation! I have posted on topic elsewhere and am working that part of the site too. Anyway, I appreciated what the thread generated. Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone. I will talk to the dealer today and use the parts numbers. They were not willing to handle this task this morning when I went, but this is Estonia and service is not like the UK yet!

Recently the Economist stated that: "The Wall Street Journal reports that Europe's labour market is finally showing signs of strength, which should ease fears that the global economy is too dependant on America to generate economic growth." Does this ability America has to "feed" everyone else's economy while they are weak mean there may be something commendable about it? My American friend believes so!

Can anyone give me a resource where I can purchase an owners manual and service manual in English for the 2007 Octavia?

Well, I think a lot was covered in these posts and I can see that "America's greatness" is something in question . I just heard the comment that "America is great" recently (by an American) and thought it would be good to see what others thought! Guess nowhere is great anymore.....:confused:
