No I have a Felicia as per my signature below. Good luck for the MOT anyway. I'm sure there won't be any major problems. You any good at car repairs yourself?

[jackferris]

eh no lol, not really, but im at tech, and have a tonne of mates that can help with anything

well news on the MOT, it failed :/

but we got a such a useless man, something to do with the two front brake hoses being faulty :s the brakes feel grand, and it got new tyres and a service within the past four days. So its not going great

Hello jack. Welcome to the club.

Don't do anything silly whilst trying to impress your mates and be safe on the road.

Well wear with the Octy too.

Hey Jack, welcome to Briskoda, sorry to hear your car failed its MOT, best bet is to get yourself a Haynes Mamual & people on here will help you if they can. Skoda's are very reliable so as long as it's not been owned by an idiot (like one of mine was!) you'll be fine!

Enjoy your car.
