Is there any way to change the car style in virtual cockpit?
Probably, but'll you need to find someone with the right software, but equally as important someone who knows how to do it...

New Sorento
I'm all for soft suspension, car manufacturers have been obsessed with handling for too long. Hard suspension, big wheels and low profile tyres do nothing for me. My commute isn't influenced by whether I can take a corner 10% faster, it's all about absorbing rough surfaces, potholes, excess standing water and doing it quietly and fuss free with minimal cabin intrusion. If getting this means my car rolls an extra 2 degrees on a 60mph B road, laps the Nurburgring a bit slower and results in me losing a game of Top Trumps to a photocopier salesman in his Audi A6 then bring it on.

New Sorento
Hybrid or not, if it's diesel they're already on the back foot. When I bought my Kodiaq it was the only 7-seater SUV available with a petrol engine. Let's hope KIA have fixed their achilles heel.

monitoring DPF health
No, there isn't a way without plugging into the OBD port. DPF's work well when new, even when stressed. You're more likely to see issues from 3 years old.

Either Mercedes are cheap, or Skoda are expensive...
Since buying the E220 saloon last year to replace my MkII Superb I've been pretty impressed with its solidarity and comfy mile munching ability. But, I kind of wish I'd bought something a little more exciting. I also miss the huge accessible boot of the Superb. I looked at the CLS at the time, but didn't want to spend the extra money. A quick look recently on Autotrader and I was amazed how cheap the pre-facelift CLS is. Being based on my E-Class and with the same 7G gearbox it should be pretty familiar. Going to look at this one next week... It's a CLS350 so has the 3.0 V6 diesel engine, is a 2014 and covered just under 80K, for a smidge under £13,000 before negotiation. A quick look on Autotrader to see what that sort of money would get me from Skoda and their Superb left me realising that either Skoda's are no longer cheap, or the CLS isn't loved. Sure, its a couple of years younger, but £13K can't even get me into a MkIII L&K... Merc's aren't cheap to service, and the V6 engine will only get me early 40's mpg, but it should be a little more fun than the E-Class and the Superb.

Skoda PR Code / Factory Option Decoder
A fellow member kindly shared this link over on the Octavia forum. It's the first I've seen that lists all the PR codes out from the VIN. All of the others I've seen require you to type in each PR code. It also provides (the often missing) front brake disc PR code too, which is really helpful when sourcing replacement discs and pads... https://carinfo.kiev.ua/cars/vin/skoda Any chance we can make this a sticky to refer other members to?

Rear LED Lights High
Apologies if this has been covered before, a quick search didn't reveal much clarity. Are there two types of LED light clusters for the Kodiaq? 1) Rear LED 2) Rear LED High Do the standard LED rear lights consist of LED tail and brake lights with regular filament bulbs for the indicators and reverse lights? Whereas the difference between the regular rear LED lights and the 'High' version is the change from filament indicator and reverse light bulbs to 'full' LED?
