right i was looking at getting a tavia vrs but as i now have more points insurance is getting silly so i kinda fancy a tavia l & k pd130 what are they like what sort of price they going for etc what they like to drive performance before after remap all info required and links to interesting sites etc

You could look a 150bhp 1.8T with lower insurance, then remap as points disappear?

(1.8T elegance, 1.8T L&K, 1.8T 4x4)

check Skoda uk's used car selector search thingy for prices...

(taxiRS will be along shortly with PD130 L&K ownership info...)

buy a rover 75 that spits out smoke at the back there cheap...!

trust me...

Sorry mate eveytime you talk about other cars I am going to point you back to Skoda as you know it makes sense :P

Flat cap and tweed jacket for dogmaul

pah at this rate it will be a kilt lol

cant get any more points so slow diesel it is

Presumably you are after the lowest insurance group possible for starters? The ABI rates the Octavia L&K as Gp 13A with a 1.8T engine and Gp 11E with the 110 or 130 diesel engines. Some insurance companies might however put the L&K 1.8T in Gp 14 as indicated in Parker's.

the first quote i got was 655 on the 130 with the 6 points that was on first direct so id imagine i can get it cheaper

How many years NCB have you got?

4 years

doesn't the 75 have the bmw 2.0l derv unit in it?

not sure.. i know the freelander uses the bmw unit but thought the rover one was in house?

stop it stop it im not getting a 75 i still have my own hair colour and no ear hair i cant have a rover 75 !!!!!!

last rover 75 comment on this thread ( from me )

it uses a 2 litre bmw diesel, but it's definitely last generation.

115bhp as opposed to the current beemer 150bhp iirc, could be wrong.

The 45s are even cheaper than the 75s...

The facelifted 45 with bodykit etc actually looks quite nice....

(I'm really sorry, off to beat myself with a birch bush once more)

Didn't they get that nice Peter Stevens chap to tidy it up a bit?

Rob.

Indeed they did...
