Yeah I remember them both. You were sat with your picnic chairs out and they were close by. Maybe Gaydon they came along.

Matt, You timed it just right and got a great prize for your efforts. Nice to see you and the car again after quite a few years. Think back to the Brisky meet days of old.

Cable
@wd20 it appears you are chasing a problem. Can you confirm if your gear stick centres when moved left or right like about to select gear 1/2 or 5/6. It should return very quickly without any lag. I have experienced slow return to centre and had to remove and clean the selector lever where the cables connect to. Scrub the shaft clean of dried up grease and apply grease and reinstall. Made a significant change to my 5th selection issue

Electrical fault?
Sorry can’t offer much wisdom. But my superb 2011 when the rear speed sensor was replaced it involved the hub/bearing assembly. Maybe this is what is needed. I believe corrosion maybe the cause of the issues for me. Fairly common from what I heard. I had warnings a few times then it became intermittent for me TPMS and others.

Spare wheel tool kit
In your second picture is where a detachable tow bar would go. You appear to be missing a locking wheel nut where it usually goes. Some cars have the black screwdriver double sided one cross head one slot. They can also fit into the wheel brace for safe keeping.

DSG Thermostat
Autodoc do they ship to NZ ? There are a fair few write ups on Briskoda. It’s the circlip pliers that are useful or the correct tool.

Most reliable Octavia diesel/petrol ?
1.9 PD the best IMHO. Only 105bhp. No DPF or EGR complicated one anyway. DMF are weakness. Hatch in Elegance spec or L&K if you can find. Still made upto about 2010 I think 1.6 had injector issues not sure if affected Skodas.
