How do all.

Since 2001 I have wanted an Octavia Rs after driving my bosses car. For a number of reasons I have ended up with several different cars.

My present car is a Ford Cougar 2.5V6. It's quite quick, but not as you would expect from a 2.5 V6. No matter how I drive it I only get maximum 24-25 MPG. Basically I have to drive slow all the time to save fuel.

I have read many reviews on the RS and the fuel consumption is much more reasonable. but the power is still there to have lots of fun, a lot quicker than my current car.

I have waited so long for the rs which I will be buying soon. Can anyone tell me what the Police Spec is? and what should I look for when buying my new car. I will be looking at about 2003 around the 60K miles mark. Things like the cam belt and water pump.

Any info would be much appreciated. I really don’t want to end up with a dud car as I would be sooooo disappointed and I have big expectations for this car. Thanks to you all and I am jealous of any Rs owners, soon I will join the

gang
