Is this still for sale?

I've Googled but struggling to find the answer. Can anyone tell me if the hub carriers are alloy or steel in a Mk2 Octavia vRS? (Pre-facelift) Thanks :-)

Old thread revival. Does anyone know if this setup will fit under 17" Zeniths on a MK2 Octavia?

She's up for sale again. Spotted on Facebook. Was considering it but not so sure now lol

Can anyone advise what the best brake upgrade is for the MK2 Octavia with standard 17" wheels? I don't want to move to 18".

Bit more info for this... Both gearboxes are 02Q. The Skoda gearbox is JLW. The Cupra gearbox is JQN. Are these a straight swap? Ratios for both attached as an image.

Does anyone know if this is possible? Anything else needed apart from the gearbox to do it? I can get my hands on a Cupra gearbox that's fitted with a Quaife differential - fancy putting it in the Octy. J

187k here...on a 2.0 petrol vRS, also 2006. They built them strong! Recently replaced all four corners of the suspension but that'll be thanks to our bumpy lanes and speed humps.

Would a gearbox from a 2007 Seat Leon Cupra be a direct replacement for my petrol Octavia vrs?

Old post revival, did everything sell in the end?

Awesome, thank you

Is there any way of telling what type of gearbox I have in my MK2 Octavia vRS? Code shows JLW below but is that a different code to being 02m etc? Or is it a JLW gearbox?

Has anyone seen the car about since it was sold?

Haha, no probs!

Quick update for anyone watching the thread. I've agreed to buy it from Rossy. (He's away with work at the moment but replied to my PM by text.) It's going onto a petrol Octavia vRS with 185,000 miles. It just keeps going, and going, and going...
