Right................... i am a skoda tech and i can give u any advise you need. i had the choise of any one skoda and i picked the 170 and by far it is the best but dont get me wrong the fsi is awsome but not as awsome as the derv.

dont be put of by dpf it is a simple mater of a short trip up a long straight road or u can evan do it in ur drive by warming the car up and holding the revs at 2500 until the light goes out.

im after a vrs, seen this http://www.autotrade...s/vrs?logcode=p does this seem a bargin ? trying to find a vrs for £8500 with between 50&60k mileage is like trying to find rocking horse poo......... is 74k mileage, considered high mileage for a 07plate car ? would there be any problems or imending problems with a car with that mileage ? also what are the service intervals and what sort of prices do the dealers charge for the servives ? what are the stereos like are they mp3 and usb stick/ipod compatable? ta very muchley !

Why might that be?

See the posts on page 1 of this thread. If the car is less than 3 years old, removing the DPF could invalidate the warranty; if more, it could cause the car to fail the MoT.

It won't cause it to fail the MOT at the moment or for the foreseeable future. It's conceivable they could make diesel emissions tests more than just a smoke test at some point, in which case just find a friendly MOT tester.
