I'm looking for a new torch for a mates SSII Combi. Is there anywhere that anyone can recommend for a cheap replacement or are they cheap enough direct from Skoda and how much?

They are around £45 from memory, don’t go to your local dealer in Carlisle though because according to them they were discontinued over 2 ½ years ago :wonder:

There don't seem to be many around. These are the part numbers, which didn't bring much back on Google or ebay.

3T0 947 417 4K1 - Ivory (beige)

3T0 947 417 9B9 - Black

If you want a really cheap alternative then you could stick one of these in the boot 12V socket. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Volkswagen-Cigarette-Lighter-Torch-Cheapest-On-Ebay-/290879346338?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43b9c296a2

though it won't come on when you open the boot.

Cheers guys. £45 for a small torch is mental. Telfords are not exactly known for customer service. My mate grinds his teeth at the sound of there name.

The VW torch looks interesting though.

Yes, I can recommend the VW one. I bought one in my last car, so it now sits in my front 12V socket. Very bright, narrow(ish) beam angle and lightweight. At that price it's a steal, normally around £25.
