Air ambulance?

 

Don’t be silly, it hasn’t even got any rotor blades 

Yes but I bet it still flies!

if you look closely at the london air ambulance 245 you can see the special front number plate holder that has covert blue LEDs vertically at each side (not illuminated in the photos). These are good for visibility of the car when pulling out from a junction

There's one on the rear as well  

as with most new cars nowadays you can't flash the headlights like with old fashion halogen lights so they start fitting more LED's on the front

Rainworth Skoda now fixing these for free.

Generally that light is incorporated in the light bar In the middle.  

 

Although k agree about the white leds on front due to unable.to use flasher like before. I hate them tho as prefer the flashers lol.

Wished they would use the low profile macneillie led bars, would look so much better!

A lot of services just re-use light bars if possible to save costs but agree a low profile bar would look a lot better

Although they have an emergency.servoces package...the scouts we use currently mk2fl 13 plates in my second the woods are standard. The suspension isn't any different and you know it when you hit pot holes and over bumps as weight in the rear means you bottom out very quickly! Equally the battery struggles to cope even with additional batteries...the one I worked on yesterday the chassis battery died after 2 hours turned off after I'd driven it at 85+ mph to a job. 

 

Also these cars sit a lot of the time at the Royal London and don't go anywhere. Atleast that's what I've noticed when I've gone there lol. 

Hey i know this is an old post but can you give me any insight into the suspensions in the mk2fl emergency vehicles. I have an Octavia 4x4 (not scout) and looking for information so i can replace the shocks and stuff. Thank you

From memory the non scout 4x4 suspension is the same as the scout - based on ours that had the rough road package.  The only difference was is tyre size that gave a slightly higher ride height.

The vehicles supplied to the emergency services are often fitted with Eibach suspension due to the extra weight they constantly carry

Yeah i have blue eibach spring , was going to be replacing my shocks and was trying to work out if they have a different spring rate or size .
