Hi everyone,Enough lurking on this forum - can't keep it in any longer, so here goes ....Order placed last weekend:vRS Hatch CR170 DSG AnthraciteHeated seatsMaxi-dotXenonsFull size spareFront & rear sensorsAuto dimming mirrorNo build date yet - will get that in 2/3 weeks.Was split between TSI and TDI but prefer the diesel economy/drive and couldn't get a test of the TSI anyway.Great site and lots of useful information. Hope to contribute in due course.

Good work!

Welcome to the site Peter

Well done !!

Getting a build date in 2/3 weeks time is only an indication, it will not firm up until about 3 weeks before actual build

Be prepared for a long wait, mine was ordered 28th Sept, build W/C 13th Dec, collect 9th or 16th Jan 2010

You have seen the other thread............

'Octavia LONG delivery times' !!!!!!!

But the wait /is/ worth it.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in no rush as I have a vehicle (Golf) to use in the meantime. Anyone know how long I'll have if I wish to change any options and is there anything I should have added ?

Shame! Petrol is better

You can not change the order once the dealer has sent it to Skoda UK

I wanted to add on the Bluetooth option 6 days after I originally placed the order. SUK would not amend the order so my dealer ordered another car
