Hello.

I've just acquired an 05 Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI PD Elegance - Black Magic for anyone who's interested. First Skoda and first oil burner in a long time. Was a bit concerned that it had done 61k but reading some of the posts on here, that looks like a good running in for a Skoda diesel! First few miles have been just fine. Let's hope the rest are just as good.

Bought from my local dealer, Chathams in Edinburgh, with the usual package of warranty, etc. - I can't recommend them highly enough. It's still a family business unlike almost all the other dealers in Edinburgh, and it shows! Everyone was courteous throughout the dealings, never any type of pushy sales techniques. They insisted I test-drove the car before they would discuss money at all; when it worked out to be a bit more than I had hoped to pay, they left me to think it through in my own time. So unlike the 'sales executives' at the well known chain which begins with E and ends in Hallshaw! :thumbdwn: And they had a bunch of flowers for SWMBO when I collected the motor.

Anyway, off to play with the new toy. I'll be back here shortly with all the questions I need answered! Especially about the Denon iPod cable which it has fitted (I can't quite work out how to use it yet).

welcome
