Hi Mate I've got a Meteor Grey, with black pack. FINALLY got it last week (after originally ordering it in December, and then again in June after it was delivered wrong). I live in Willenhall, but work in Birmingham Centre a few days a week. I park at Millennuim Point Multistorey (then walk into the centre), if you wanted to see it there. That might be convenient for you. If you want, i can let you know when I'm there, and you can pop along to it at your leisure, if your not fussed about me being there :p

Its not about getting people to agree to it, it seems it's just not possible to change the head unit from one type to another on the new Octavias. This is presumably to people retrofitting them. I don't know what it is that stops them (whether it is physical sizes of the units, or ecu coded or somthing like that) but the dealer said (after checking with a Skoda workshop apparently) that is can't be done. Thing is with that, is that the dealer ordered the correct car from what the lease company ordered. It was the lease company that messed up the order. They are in the process of sending me a hire car, while they sort it out. I presume they will give me a car from their stock while I wait eventually. Hopefully this lease company have a bit of clout with Skoda, as they order so many cars with them, and are able to hurry my order along. I would have loved for them to have left that car for me to use. That would have been great. If it had been a normal private dealer sale then that is what I would have argued for.

Mine was delivered today. Ordered a VRS TDI Hatch, Meteor Grey, Cruise, Black Pack, Winter Pack, Space Saver, and COLUMBUS with Colour Maxi dot though a lease company through work early to mid December. Today I got delivered a VRS TDI Hatch, Meteor Grey, Cruise, Black Pack, Winter Pack, Space Saver, Colour Maxi Dot and AMUNDSEN :'( . Had to refuse to accept it. It was a **** up by the lease company. Am now waiting to hear back from them on what they are going to do, but it looks like its going to have to be a brand new order with what Skoda are quoting as a 4 and half month lead time. Absoutely gutted is an understatement. Have waited over 6 months for this car, and then it comes wrong! Apparently the dealer is unable to swap out the different nav units, and can only be done by factory when built. Sounds like such a small thing to refuse the car over, but I ordered the Columbus because that was what I wanted. This lease is for 4 years, so I'll have to live with whatever I choose for that long. It looked soooooo good when it got here too
