Thanks for your advice. I'll check the areas you suggest (if it ever stops raining), and I'll make myself some "adapters" for the trolley jack. Re the relative merits of Land Rover, Merc and Skoda, all I can say is that having had Range Rovers and then Discoveries for 25 years or so, and Mercedes for about ten - they all have their problems, but you live with them because, for you at least, the good outweighs the bad. Regards

Hello there. I'm new to Skodas, and wondered if "Mk 1" Superbs have what I believe are called Workshop Jacking Points. These are strengthened points or areas which are used in workshops in preference to the normal "wheel-changing" jacking points (my term). My old Merc had rubber buttons about 2" diameter under the inner sills, my Discovery has the axles, chassis, sills.... Regards

Hello everyone. Just a note to introduce myself; having accessed the forum as a guest a few times, I thought I'd better register. I bought a Superb 2.8 a few months back, wanting a family car that really would fit large and tall kids and parents. There are few other options, though our previous Merc estate was good (but rusty). I hope to benefit when I need to and contribute when I can. The Superb is a 2007 Elegance automatic/tiptronic, metallic red outside and tan (Ivory?)inside. Lovely condition, 31K on the clock, one owner, full S/H. We're delighted with it, especially since the Prins LPG brings running costs into the realms of affordable.
