  4. :thumbup:Thanks for the link. It seems to concentrate on handles falling off. Any ideas on getting the bonnet catch to shift? Once open I can saturate everythiung in WD-40. When are Skoda going to hold their hands up and admit the fault? But if that's all that's wrong with it I will forgive them. I've just moved from a 1992 W124 Mercedes diesel estate, so I am pleased to find that familiar "hewn from granite" feeling even if the ride is not quite so cosseted. The fit and finish is better than current Mercs.
  5. I've had my 55 plate Octavia Mk2 Est 1.9tdi for a week.100k on the clock and as on sound as a bell; delighted with it.EXCEPT I cannot get the bonnet open. The release catch comes off in my hand, and if I hold it in place with my other hand the thing won't budge so the bonnet won't open.I really would like to check the oil & water soonish.What is the short term way forward? What is the long term fix?MarcusOctavius
  6. Just bought a 1.9tdi Octavia Estate 2005, Elegance, 1 owner, 98k.Any advice on looking after a high miler? Oil? Oil change frequencies? Bonnet catch solution?
