Can you buy GENUINE Skoda  NOT pattern or uprated console bushes for the OCTY 2, I bought them for my Fabia but Skoda said they only sell the complete wishbomefor my 06 Octavia TDI estate.

Dealer only sells the wishbone with new bush fitted i was in last week trying to buy 2 bushes apparently its to much work to fit new bushes so they change the full wishbone. Eurocar parts sell them seperatly.

Only pre-pressed into the alloy part with the 3 bolts holes.  You don't have to buy a complete LCA assy.

Why the objection to pattern parts?  Lemforder are probably better quality than OEM (they are an OEM supplier anyway).  The same unit as the OEM part (with the housing) is about GBP32 at Eurocarparts

If you're after the pre pressed in housing, ECP - Front Right (lower rear) = 610441435

                                                                             Front Left   (lower rear) = 610441425

Suspension & Steering > Bushes. These are Lemforder (I have used).

 

Now at £31.69 each with free delivery and a limited time 5% discount code EXTRA5.

 

You can buy the rubber inserts only, but then you need a press.

You can buy the S3 solid bushes and the tool to change them rather than buying them from ECP (£31.69p each). Prices will work out about the same but the bushes should last longer and giver a tighter feel to the steering.
