Fair enough I know it's not special but mine didn't come with one as standard so just been to purchase this one from a forum member and I'm needlessly excited about it. 

Its a great adition that at some point will get you out of trouble. 

I've just bought a spare wheel from eBay for my recently purchased fabia and I was equally excited to receive and fit it!

Would have been easier, if less exciting, if Skoda had fitted one as standard.

Is that an MC thing then?

 

The VRS has a spare and no inflation kit..

My understanding was that as of a certain year Skoda stopped supplying them as standard on all the vehicles. It's a nice little earner for Skoda too because the sealant has an expiry date and costs £67 a time. I believe the spare can be specified when the car is ordered for £40 but if you buy a new one after the fact they will charge you £154!

No mods to report recently, went on my first properly long run last Friday. Peterborough to Manchester, managed 70mpg on the way back the car never missed a beat the whole weekend. Got to say though for a flatlander the M62 was a bit of a shock lol.

Ive managed 57.3 in my 1.2 petrol. 

I have not posted for a while, not much happening except Skoda recently had my roof resprayed under warranty, I had the body shop do the rear bumper at the same time. 

It’s turned out to be a fab little hauler, I used a box on it for the past two holidays to Ireland and Scotland.

What was the issue with the roof?

Corrosion under the rails, hard to notice unless your at the right angle.
