My PCH Yeti is officially ordered, should be here by end of March. So no huge waiting time like my last experience.

I'm getting 1.2Tsi manual SE L Drive in jungle green, chosen from a list of cars that are built and in transit.

I don't fancy the look of the new Yeti if the leaked pics are anything to go by, so it was a no brainer to take advantage of the good deals available on contract hire just now.

The Jeep Renegade is a great car, really not unlike the Yeti to drive but I always said I would likely come back to Yeti so here I am

I'm selling the Renegade. Already have a few offers, but need the Yeti delivered first as I cant be without a car.

Well done on the private sale.

Welcome back Marie - we knew you wouldn't be able to stay away. Must admit I bought mine with the intention of holding on to it for at least 5 years, hence 5 year warranty, and it has been a really nice car and totally reliable. It's just short of four years old now so the replacement is coming along about a year too soon so I'm tempted...... but only if I can keep my small wheels!

Not a problem I ordered my new 1.2 SE-L DSG with 16" wheels and Skoda were only too happy to oblige. They were only sorry that they could not specify the exact tyres, so will either be Continental or Goodyear.

I guess the dealer will upscale a secondhand one perhaps and make it easier to sell.

Welcome back,enjoy your new Yeti soon.We think the one we collected last October is the best car we have ever had,I still love my old Monte for bombing around in though!

Welcome back.....Rainworth again?

Problem is that there's no tide on the Broads, where he was last reported.  I wonder if he realises how his shadow lives on, here! 

Welcome back, Marie.  You return just as I'm leaving (SEAT Ateca), but I might be back in a few years too.

The return of the prodigal daughter.

Welcome back Marie

My Yeti is now with the dealer and the plan is to have it delivered to Inverness next weekend as I need to drop the Jeep Renegade off there. So I can drive my shiny new Yeti all the way back to Skye. I'll update and post pics next weekend.

Car is built with 16" wheels at the factory so dealer won't see it any other way.

It is not an option here, only way to get it done is by special order from Skoda(UK) Head Office. 

Range in UK now consists of SE Drive and SE L Drive - regular S, SE, SEL and L&K models all deleted as from today.

Obviously it's more difficult for us if not impossible as Skoda sales are negligible here.......not so for VWs though.

So I'm officially back in the Yeti fold after a two year absence. I dropped my Renegade off in Inverness today and collected my Yeti 1.2 SE L Drive which meant a 120 mile drive home in glorious sunshine. 

I've just fitted a variable boot floor that I managed to source on ebay for £150. Technically it should have been a ten minute job but the fit was so tight that I struggled a bit. Finally a bit of gentle tapping here and there with a hammer got the parts to slot home. I doubt I'll be removing it again any time soon though. I had kept the boot liner from the last Yeti so that's in place now too.
