drivers side please, willing to send a few beer tokens for post and a pint

The law actually states that something on the back of the car must reflect red, not all reflectors must be red. Since there is a part of the rear light cluster that reflects red then by law it is allowable to change the bumper reflectors. However if no-one makes them then I will just have to go to Skoda and pay daft money for another red one. Thanks for the comment anyway Kev

Quick question Is there anywhere that supplies clear or white replacement reflectors for the rear bumper of the new vRS. For the third time in 4 months someone has kindly damaged one of mine and I thought if I am going to have to replace it again anyway maybe try something a bit different. Thanks in advance Kevin

The PM does work but requires the tyre to drop to about 20psi before it lights up. We had a screw in one of the rear tyres on the 18's fitted to the vRS and it definately worked.

Thanks again. We have ordered one of the boot trays from Skoda and will see what it is like when we pick the car up. I will be cutting a bit of old carpet to the shape of the boot tray (or boot if I don't buy the tray) to stop the dog sliidng around. As for comfort he has no issues in the back of the Navara, I just throw an old duvet in for him. 64 hours and counting Kev

Thanks for all the replies. Carrying the dog will be an occasional thing as I drive a Nissan Navara so we usually take that when we go away with the dog however wife has a bun in the oven and doesn't appreciate the bumpy ride offered by a 4x4 on mud and snow tyres at the moment. I have been told elsewhere to watch the oil too. Any one care to share usage quantities? Tyre prices don't seem too bad either, we have agreed with the dealer that if tyres are worn to 4mm or less he will replace them FOC on collection and with the car being on variable servicing if the service light comes on before the end of March it gets services FOC too. If this was the case I wouldn't be able to sleep at night as i would have robbed the dealer blind. Kev

Having been registered on here for just over 2 years I thought i might make a post. I was looking at a Mk 1 vRS a couple odf years ago as a replacement for a subaru but never got around to buying. Now I am waiting to pick up (on Saturday) a 12,000 mile '06 plate Occy vRS for my wife. She has been running a 1998 Audi A4 TDi for the last 4 years and has covered just over 72,000 miles in it so time for a change. Just a few questions for now though 1. What economy are people actually seeing from the Occy2 Petrol vRS in day to day use? 2. We will be using it to carry the dog occasionally, is the plastic lipped boot liner worth investing in? 3. The car is fitted with 18's. What sort of price are the tyres? 4. Is there anything else I need to know about these. I ahve read loads on the forums but a list of bullet points would be a godsend. Thanks in Advance and happy christmas Kev
