At long last we can collect our vrs, its been a long wait (ordered 16th Jan). The dealers, Bristos Ipswich, and in particular the salesman Robert Moore, have been very good at keeping us informed regarding build date, delivery date, when in transit, delivered etc. Therefore sometime after midday we should be whizzing around in a Race Blue shiney machine :)

Good luck today

Enjoy! It will be worth the wait.

Are you near Ipswich? There's a meet next weekend and it would be great to see a FL vRS

Bristos have a great looking blue Octavia vRS for sale - not yours I hope (only joking) it's a used one that I think from memory is more expensive than buying a new one with the VAT offer. Let us know how you get on with Bristos, it's my local dealer here and also what you think of the Octavia. I've outgrown the boot space in my Fabia so the Octavia and Yeti are on my radar now.

Anyway good luck with the collection and hope all is well with the car. Will look out for a blue flash going past the window later!

From my original post, Bristos have been fine, in particular Robert Moore one of the sales guys. The vRS on the sales court is a customers car that Bristos are selling, the owner went from a Lexus LS400 to the vRS, he found the ride too hard for him! I understand that the gentleman was substantially over 21 :rofl:

Please feel free to use attatched checklist.............

Many Thanks, I have used this in conjunction with the list from ChrisRS :thumbup:

  • 5 months later...

Check the wheel bolts that they have not been over tightened.

I had a Ford many years ago and had a puncture even Kwik Fit when I called them out had problems getting the bolts undone.

The car was only 1 year old at the time, no sign of rust on the bolts they must have been over tightened on the assembly line

I now check the bolts as soon as I can when getting a new car.

Not something to find out on a cold rainy night.
