Hi, I had the same noise from my front arm rest,just make sure it's closed properly by banging it shut,if not it will rattle.

Just replaced my original 4 Dunlops 205/55/16 on 2006 Elegance 1,9 tdi after 20,000 miles with 4 Hankook "Ventus Prime" all in cost of £219-00 lovely quite ride and good grip, hope this helps. Cruiser.

Further to my previous message, I had my drivers seat Replaced as the lumber support failed to work, and the new one is no better. Skoda has lost the plot ?

The front seats in my Oct 2 Elegance 1.9tdi (56) are much too long and rubs the back of my left knee just as you are experiencing, its very badly designed ! I have my seat on maximum height with a cushion to sit on, and find this extra height helpful. Previous car was a mk 1 oct, with seats just perfect. Hope this helps. Cruiser.

Had the same problem on my 2006 (56 ) elegance 1.9 tdi, ended up with a brand new seat under warranty, but still the support is useless, it's just a pathetically designed seat. Hope you have better luck.

Thanks to everyone ref. SWMBO ? The penny has just dropped, I've got it now !!!

Thanks for all comments to my 1st thread But someone please tell me who or what is "SWMBO" ? Cheers

Hello everyone from my A5 Octavia 1.9 tdi with Exenons and not reached its 1st birthday yet, but with bags of problems, Flywheel and part clutch replaced, also drivers seat replaced due to lumber totally broken, passenger seat cover replaced owing to inferior material, internal alarm sensor replaced as it often triggered the alarm even when garaged, cables in s/wheel housing rattled & had to be repositioned, the ticket holder was slack which I fixed by stuffing cardboard in between trim, and finally, I too have the creaking rear suspension which can be embarrassing. The Mk 1 Oct tdi which I traded in after 5 years and 46k miles had a much better build / trim / paint quality, wish now I had kept it ! Any comments would be welcomed. What is SWMBO please ?
