Lift kit: https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/volkswagen-golf-mk5-mk6-platform-30mm-lift-kit.html Skid plate : https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/steel-engine-sump-guard-for-mk5-mk6-platform-excluding-1-2-tsi-1-4-tsi-1-6-tdi.html these look great and i know Darkside to be very upfront and helpful

Okay so have a look at darkside developments, they did a whole overland series with a yeti snd now they sell parts , you can buy steel skid plates , lift kits and strut extenders , considering doing it on my mk2 4X4 , that's how i found this thread. The lift kit is a bit more expensive than off ebay but it's nade from machined metal and its all tested . Ill post links below 👇

Let me know what you get sorted with , was thinking id like to put some leather seats in my Octavia 4x4 ✌️

Hi i have a problem that sounds just like this , did you ever find the solution? I know this was a while ago..

I already have the blue light springs in the car , i need to replace the front shocks and was wondering if there a different spec i need as of the higher clearance of the springs . Was thinking some billstein b6's might go well. I asked skoda uk and they were kinda useless, they just said my vehicle has the rough road package, when i asked if that ment i need to buy different parts they were very vague. Is the blue light or rough road suspension the same as the scout ?

Would love to know if anyone gas more information on this topic... I have a second hand rrv 2.0 tdi 4x4 and i need to know about the suspension as a few bit need addressing

Yeah i have blue eibach spring , was going to be replacing my shocks and was trying to work out if they have a different spring rate or size .

Hey i know this is an old post but can you give me any insight into the suspensions in the mk2fl emergency vehicles. I have an Octavia 4x4 (not scout) and looking for information so i can replace the shocks and stuff. Thank you

Hi just wondering what alloys are these , are they standard on your vrs ? Would look nice on my 4x4

Octavia is based on the golf platform . The superb is based on the passat

Hi people , i have a second hand rapid response octavia 2 4x4 , in the process of doing bits to get it nice and somewhat back to stock (paintwork, fixing bits etc..) since I've had it i found the suspension very bouncy and boaty , i changed out the rear shocks and still have issues , i can tell the front shocks need changing . When i had a look at them the other day i noticed my springs said "Skoda blue light" . Now according to the one or two forum posts i could find i realized it was suspension given to emergency vehicles on behalf of skoda uk . My question is , what are the characteristics of this setup , was hoping to put perhaps some billstein b4s or maybe even b6s on the frotn and eventually the rear , should i look at changing the springs too ? When i bought the motor they had originally had a heady duty medical cabinet in the back along with 2 leisure batteries in the spare wheel space hooked up to the emergency lights , cameras , radio and satnav . So they had a bit of weight in there id imagine , anyone know what they springs are ment for , are the good for everyday use ? Should i get a more stock set up ? As the shocks are knackered its hard to tell. And when my car went in for an allignment the guy doing it asked if the springs were original because the could be over sprung .Any suggestions would be appreciated

The lights and sirens are still installed although they are disconnected from the battery. The first few days i was driving it with all the stickers minus the ones that said the word ambulance and emergency, people where pulling over and stuff was well funny

Hi guys my name is oren , glad i found this forum its really useful and im sure ill be coming back frequently.Just got myself a 2012 Octavia 4x4 2.0tdi. Loving it so far , it was a paramedics car that was used as standby at an airfield .. still in the process of getting the last of the ambulancey stuff off the outside lol . Has some cool mods on the inside too with a kind of leisure battery set-up that was hooked up to an emergency start system , CCTV front and rear with a rearview mirror screen , i think it had some kind of radio in there too before i got it and it has the blue lights and sirens of course too . Don't have any any pics of the mods or the finished exterior but can take some if wanted
