My bora, is the same chassis as octavia and it leaks on the drivers side only, looks like the water comes in over the door seals on the sills? could something be blocked as the water is not draining away properly? Its driving me insane, and im selling to the mother in law this week, so would rather fix it then face her wrath

Did the standard VRS estate not come with a rear anti roll bar then? or just a smaller diameter bar? :S

Full Leather ones will be from the Highline model like mine, very nice sports seats that are heated with height and lumbar adjustment......nice

The club gti boys swear by boiled linseed oil too? There are loads of cheats peanut butter, heat guns etc

Slighty over my £4000 budget but could barter down , what do you think about this one good price for age mileage and condition? Bumper trims are letting it down? Paintwork and interior look nice http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201036367818278/sort/locasc/usedcars/body-type/estate/transmission/manual/price-from/2000/price-to/5000/fuel-type/petrol/model/octavia/make/skoda/page/1/postcode/pa169al/radius/1500?logcode=p

God your a friendly bunch Thanks to gallego1968 for my warm welcome

Oh looks like my fellow newbie annoyed a few YELLOWISTS , good way to introduce yourself! and the mods on club gti by posting this in multiple sections/double posts whoops

Great common sense buying guide used it when I went to check the first VRS I went to see, was a terrible car so quite a few faults on the list were highlighted

A four day old car think I would have killed the driver at fault! Had a ten year old clio williams written off in the same way felt so ****ed off, god knows how you felt with a car of that value! Hope you get the verdict/compensation you deserve

Hi to all, just signed up today looking for buying info on mk1 octavia vrs, looking to buy a vrs estate in october when my money for my Bora sale comes through(selling to the mother in law LOL) Where I am based Greenock on the west coast of Scotland the estate vrs is really hard to come by, I have been looking for one for the past two months in the usual places autotrader/ebay/pistonheads but havnt seen one north of the border. Would prefer not to travel but not opposed to it, so anywhere in the uk would be fine for the right car. My budget is upto £4000, would like FSH/cambelt changed, 51 plate onwards less than 100k, good/excellent condition, not fussed on the colour, prefer a standard car but not put off by mild mods, so if you have one or know of one in a dealer near you let me know, looking forward to checking the info on the site out and thanks in advance for your replies, Paul How much bigger is the estate boot compared to the hatch? anyone got the figures?
