Cheers for your replies gents. Beggars belief that they can leave the factory in that state but I suppose nothing should surprise me about VAG!

Hi I have bulbs fitted into the daylight running lights but they don't seem to activate. I have tried what it says about the indicator stalk in the manual but to no avail. Any suggestions what it might be? Cheers Kenny

Hi everyone, I am after a bit of information. I have a brand new Skoda Octavia Elegance Estate, and when I stop the car and prior to removing the key it comes on the display to Check The Deadlock. What does this mean and what can I do to stop this message? Thanks in advance. SS

I have just traded my GL II Estate in for an Elegance estate, and up to now the Elegance, apart from fuel consumption, is a far better car than the GL II. The main thing for me is the comfort of the Elegance compared to the GL, is far superior and the ride is far smoother. I always seemed to have lower back pain with the GL, but so far I have had no back pain, and I have driven the car on a 400+ mile journey already. For now I can live with the lower fuel economy that the Elegance has just for the comfort. I would not recommend the GL II to anyone that has issues with their lower back, as the lack of lumber support and the firmness of the suspension are atrocious.

I picked my Greenline up in October last year and have over 7K on it. When I drive it on the the German Autobahns at approx 85mph I am getting an average of 50mpg. Taking it back to the UK in April, so will be interesting to see what I get having to stick to a speed limit on the motorways.

Thanks for that Pete. I will have a look.

Thanks very much for the guide. Had to change my headlights over at the weekend, as I live in Germany as a member of the Armed Forces, to european headlights, and could not have done it without this guide, so thanks again. I could not believe how easy it was.

Hi there picked up my New Greenline II Estate 3 weeks ago and it came with an Amundsen Sat Nav instead of the 6 Disc CD Changer that it should have come with, result. As I live in Germany as a member of the forces, I was pleased to see that it came with two discs, GB & Ireland and Main routes Europe. The europe one is garbage though, as it will take you to a town or city but that is it. Can anyone help with where I can get a copy of a full European map from. Thanks in advance. Kenny.

Hi all, my name is Kenny and I have just ordered an Octavia Greenline Estate with delivery soon and looking forward to my first Skoda.
