Thanks for the advice about the sticking clutch pedal. Got it sorted under warranty and all is now fine. This is one great car. My next problem is fitting a towbar. I had one on my last 2.0 SLX Octavia but apparently this does not fit the L&K. Is it possible to fit one or is this car too exclusive. Thanks in anticipation.

I had a Witter towbar fitted by the local agent with no problems - took about 1 hour, and was done at the office. There was a small cut to the base of the bumper, but you can't see it with the towbar.
