Cheers guys, knew you’d come through for me.

Can anyone tell me what the button is for in the overhead console, it looks like a car with a back door open. I've gone boggle eyed looking in the manual for it, it's located near the reading light buttons.

Do you think it would be cheeky of me to ask for some sort of refund for the fuel in the tank of an Octavia that I have part exchanged for a new Kodiaq, it’s about two thirds full of diesel and the Kodiaq is petrol. This situation must crop up regularly, I did get more than I was expecting for my old car.

Cheers Mr Rubble, I thought it would be easier to get into being that bit higher. I do like my gadgets on a car, apart from park assist, in nearly 5 years I’ve only used it 3 times and that was to show people what it did.

Hi guys, I'm the worlds worst haggler in showrooms, I'm looking to buy a new petrol Karoq SE-L or above or possibly a new Octavia FE SE-L or above, I've got a 15 plate Octavia hatch Elegance to part ex and the rest cash. What do you rate my chances of bargaining with that and which would you go for?

Saw a race blue one in the showroom today, definitely a tidy looking motor

The one in my post is from Derek Slack in the Boro, bought this one for me and the lad to use (learn in), not too bad on insurance neither, as it's in his name. Might not look like it in the pics but he's well chuffed. Brownie points in the Dad department

Seen a white hatch BE at last, not exactly on the road, but it will be on Friday :p :p :p

Wow! Yep, that's looking good

Just a quick one, Is the screen on the Amundsen in a 2011 Octy Estate any different in size to the Amundsen in the new Octy? I've tried looking looking for old brochures but failed to find enough info. Tried this question in Octy 3 forum but had no luck. Anybody?

Amazing use of robots to do the spraying, well impressed by the different coloured cars on the spray line. Nice pair of Escorts, Blindinbear.

I think gloss white might look a bit too 'chav' Are the black Turini wheels gloss or satin finish? I can't remember bending down to look at them in the showroom. Cortina63, what do you mean by the 'rear bumper treatment' ? Oh, by the way, I still haven't seen a white BE on the roads yet, must lead a sheltered life.

2 days left to work offshore, picking a white BE hatch up on the 24th, these clocks are on a go slow, it's a conspiracy i tells ya. Jon, are you getting yours today?

I was a bit surprised at the dealer saying what he did, surely the hubs are the same as other Octy3's. If I remember right, the spare wheel kit for my Octy2 3 years ago was about £75 but that got negotiated in the car cost.
