You sure the SH isn’t online? Cars don’t have books and dealer stamps these days. All I’ve got is a bunch of invoices. But as SC03OTT says, the 1.0 SE Tech estate isn’t exactly rare. Plenty of choice out there.

Yes it does appear a very common problem having had a search around. The car will be due a service in a few thousand miles. I get them looked at then.

My 4 year old Octavia with just over 44000 miles has just started to make this creaking noise especially over car park speed bumps and some local rough roads. Any ideas what the solution maybe and the cost?

Whilst out on Tuesday night, whilst in stop/start, when car restarted it suddenly lost power showing “error stop/error” with the glow plug light flashing amber. It felt like the turbo had failed. The car was fortunately booked in the following day, for a service and brake fluid change. The car has done 37500 miles with services when needed and has been faultless up to now. The diagnosis is a faulty fuel pressure sensor and the error was cleared with a software reset during a recall. A new part is on order for Monday. The dealer couldn’t guarantee the fault would return. I feel a bit disappointed that this has happened, but I guess these things happen? Has anyone else had this failure? In the meantime, we are using my partner’s 2010 Toyota Yaris on a trip away that is proving a joy to drive!
