Agree B6 or B8 would be good Find it weird that B12 is not available Do you know part numbers for B6/B8 by any chance

Suspension upgrade 2016 1.4 se sport estate
Decided its time to upgrade the standard suspension Previously fitted Bilstein B12 to an 06 VRs and very happy Tried to get quote on this car but told no B12 kit available (b14 was offered). What have others fitted Suspension is comfortable but feels too soft in more spiritrd driving, potentially needs an anti roll bar upgrade too. Suggestions advice appreciated

Fishing wagon
Hello munch, a fellow maggotdrowner here. I have no issue with carp rods, doing as suggested above, with no fouling of the handbrake but if you pack to create a level space the pole holdal should go crossways.

About to buy a 1.4 SE Sport estate
Found a car I like alot and will be purchasing it. Will in all liklihood fit a B12 suspension in the future as felt a bit soft compared to our current car as very impressed with that on our 06 vrs. Can anyone confirm which kit, 50mm or 55mm I didn't check which mode it was in but suspect eco when I test drove it. Does sport make much difference No CD player I could see but reccomendation for sd card to load with music, does it need to be a fast card, is there a max size 64gb or 128 gb? Tyres are 225/45/17 w currently Going to fit crossclimates 2 but do I need V W or Y rated tyres given v is rated to 149mph and car max speed is 134mph .... How do check map version I will ask for them to be updated. Thanks all

Split fold and rear sear squab estate cars
If true that's a shame Above approach is not flat as you say! Leaves a gap between rear seats and front seats, that when flat can be loaded onto. I usually have cooler box and boxes of food neatly stacked level.

Split fold and rear sear squab estate cars
We own a 06 vrs estate and tge rear seat squab flips up to create flat floor when seat backs are dropped (minus headrests) Looked at a 68 reg SE L yesterday and it looked like the rear seat did not flip up, I tried and dealer indicated it was not standard Have i missed a button or lever or was dealer correct, I need as much loadspace as possible at times so I find it very useful

Does SE L model have xenon or Led dipped beam
I keep a car 10 plus years, had current one 12, so that's an extra £1000 and is for me important. The running cost savings are part of our calculation to change, potentially saving us £1,000 plus a year over the VRs. Depreciating on the other hand is not an issue like we plan with our current car we would give it to a friend.

Does SE L model have xenon or Led dipped beam
Thank you and that explains my confusion when searching as 17 reg often have xenon quoted So looks like my decision will be £30 or less road tax and halogen or £130 and LED Or 16/66 Superb SEL for similar money and xenon!

Does SE L model have xenon or Led dipped beam
Looking at replacing our mk 2 VRS with a mk3 Octavia 16/66 reg.to pay less tax. Want xenons or LED dipped beam as a minimum. I have searched but cannot find a defininitive answer I know SE L has headlight washers and usually these are only fitted if you have xenons. But adverts for cars listed dont mention it. This is the model I am considering. Any help appreciated thank you
