  1. I must admit i haven't considered the Superb, I may have to look closer, what version do you have?
  2. A big Hello from me, I haven't been active on here for quite while since I sold my Mk2 TDI. I am currently the owner of a 68 plate Golf GTI Performance, but due to the fact we have another family member on the way (A German Shepherd, no more kids for me!) I am looking at getting a car with larger boot space. I have looking at the late Mk3 VRS 245, and it seems that i would get pretty much all the options I get in the Golf, but can't confirm if the Octavia comes with Radar Cruise control? Is this an option on the later cars? I may go for a 18 or 68 plate, low mileage version, is there anything else I should be looking for? Many thanks.
  3. Sorry, Only just seen this. I take it its too late to upload pics for you now?
  4. Has it raised or lowered? Something i've never heard of? Maybe just perception.
  5. Yeah, you're right, it came with the Pegasus and sports suspension. Just Wasn't low enough though, although has taken me 12 years to finally do it!
  6. That does sound like a pipe off somewhere..sorry can't be any more help
  7. Yeah, definitely -50 springs, although you're right, i don't think its dropped the full amount..
  8. Thanks! I did think about replacing them with 18's but just really like the Pegasus. They are sat on spacers too now as well, which really helps the looks!
  9. I have the -50mm H&R's cup kit. The shocks with the springs definitely firm up the ride, but still comfortable enough for every day use.
  10. Need to get a another non-VRs Octy on here!! . Just had the wheels refurbed and the sill resprayed as offside was rusting slightly, not good. Sits lower on an H&R -50 kit, with an added SuperSkoda Spoiler. Really happy with the overall look and stance now.
  11. Yes, the vertical seal. Once the window is lowered, you have a nice groove to insert number plate or something similar and tap. It didn't take much to sort.
  12. A tip i found elsewhere on here stated to fully lower rear window, slide an old piece of number plate in the groove and gently tap to reseat the seal. Just to say that this worked for me nicely. Just don't hit it too hard for obvious reasons. :peek:
