I have managed to convince work to buy me a new company car so next week, I am picking up my new (65 plate) Rallye Green Octavia MK3 VRS Estate.

 

It seems to be pretty well loaded with kit so I'm one happy chappy!

 

is there anything I need to look out for, useful tips and tricks etc?

 

Pics to follow once I've collected it.

Lucky you! Enjoy it.  :clap:

Sounds great! You'll have to get some pictures posted once it arrives. Got a soft spot for Rallye Green Estates!

Nice one, green ones look brilliant.  You getting the DSG or Manual, also petrol or diesel?

Its a diesel manual mate. TBH, I prefer the manuals but I know a lot prefer DSG.

 

I know its got the black plus pack too so it sets the green off very nicely.

Is there a definitive list of the codes for the options so I can look through and see what is actually on the car and not miss anything?

You should be able to find a list of the option codes, as per this link: http://igorweb.org/decoder/howto.html

 

You can then type them in to get them de-coded here: http://igorweb.org/equidec.aspx

Thanks for the link
