No mate, its out of a Mk4 golf. Both 3 & 5 door fit I think. Cheap as chips on eBay.

Love the wheels, really suit the octavia.

Well it's been a while, so thought I'd update. Clutch and rear beam bushes are sorted, can't believe how knackered the old ones were. Drives like a dream now!!! Also, seeing as the weather has been so cr*p I got around to fitting my black carpet today. Much improved over the white one. White one on the way out, complete with coffee stain. All out and cleaned up. New one fitted and I'm well pleased. Skoda should have fitted black from new!! Cheers Lewy

Well, yesterday didn't go quite to plan with the clutch replacement. The garage rang and said they had been misquoted on the parts price and wanted to try and squeeze another £120 out of me. Needless to say I wasn't impressed. After a bit of ringing around I got the price down by £110 for the full clutch and solid flywheel including the labour at a place more local to me. That also includes doing the rear beam bushes as well, a job which I wasn't looking forward to doing! On the up side I won a mint black carpet from a golf for £23 so well chuffed with that. I know what I'll be doing on Sunday. Cheers Lewy

These turned up today

I had mine done at the main dealer (Silbury Skoda) as they were competitive on price. Might be worth an ask at the nearest one to you? If you don't mind driving north a bit Swift Motor Engineering in Newcastle are excellent.

Sounds like you had an awesome time! Just got to say the attention to detail on this build is superb. Two thumbs up!! :thumbup:

I'm for it. First outing in the occy.

The info is in the north east local meetings section. It's a first for me so hopefully it will be good.

It's staying standard apart from changing to a solid flywheel. Thought about an upgraded clutch but for what I'm running it isn't worth the extra cost. You going to the meet at the metro centre 10th March?

That's not bad, I'll put it on the ever growing list.

Hi All, The bad weather has hindered progress on my build thread, but a spanner in the works came in the form of my wife burning the clutch out in the snow the other week. :( Pretty gutted as its a big outlay, haven't really got the space to do it myself so I've had to book it in to a local VAG specialist. Whilst its in I'm having the rear beam bushes done as well as I think they're knackered. Car seems to be very twitchy on the bumpy roads across the moor that I drive every day. Gonna cheer myself up today with a monster cleaning session.

Wheels are different from the norm, good choice! Was the wheel alignment expensive at Revoloution? I've tried getting a price in the past and no joy from them.

Booked

Thanks Rob, I'll let you know tomorrow if funds allow.
