Hi Briskoda Sorry for my garbled post above - I wanted to add text to my picture - but failed! Probably means text first pics later? The replacement LED bulbs were bought from Ali Express as above. Got my local garage to fit - they work fine - much brighter. Only negative is that the car gives me a warning message 'problem with reversing lights' and leaves a screen marker. However the screen marker sometimes disappears - so perhaps there is a way to remove - more to investigate?

I find the reversing lights very poor on my Kamiq (compared with Octavia's and Fabia's). I have a difficult parking slot - reversing uphill against a wall. Lots of talk about swapping headlamp bulbs - what about more powerful bulbs here? Yes I know a rear camera would be best - but retrofit a lot of bother.

OK - so I'm downsizing! Can't tell which Skoda SUV is which from a distance - will change when I have one. Thanks for info.

Hi Thanks for all the helpful info to my post I can now relax - the lucky next owner of my Octavia can enjoy the security of a spare wheel - I will now spend a few months equipping my new Kamiq But why not a universal spare for a range of models? I don't feel my next car must always be a Skoda - it could be a VW, Seat, Audi as well. The essential thing is that engine - the 1.5 petrol lump is perfect for me - 134mph, 8.2 secs to 60, and nearly 50 mpg. Returning from the south of France last year I got 49.8 mpg with hundreds of autoroute miles at 130kph.

Hi Briskoda experts I put this on the Octavia forum first I'm changing my 2020 Octavia Se Drive 150 for a new Kamiq Se Drive 150 this week. I hope to keep my Octavia spare wheel kit (never used) for the new Kamiq - and put the non- spare kit (inflation etc.) in the Kamiq into my old Octavia. Any problems with this plan? Just looked at LLLPARTS website and now I'm worried that there is no (or poor) direct compatibility. Dave

Why no section for the Kamiq yet? Dave

I've had great service from discounted-new-cars.com - my 2020 Octavia SE Drive is dying to have a proper run - just 1000 miles on the clock! Steve and Howard have been there for years and are very approachable - sales or leasing. I got over 5K off the list price this time round. Give them a ring.
