Ive just come back from an interesting hour and a half with my local Skoda dealer. I was given the chamce to look through all the Skoda updates and bulletins. I think I can clear a few things up that we have been debating. 

 

Exhausts - the most recent update has the line regarding the change to a single exhaust crossed out. Suggesting that change is cancelled. There were 2 my19s there, both with twin exhausts and two back boxes.

 

The park assist is no longer showing as standard and is back to being extra.

 

Some options have vanished, a winter back has turned up too. The configurator on the dealers network is different from the online configurator again.

 

Oh and yeah Ive ordered one today! Network says 15 weeks, if thats right by 10 weeks I'll bare my arse in burtons window!

Where's the near branch of Burton's to you. Not that I want to see your backside, it's to make sure that I'm nowhere near it when it happens!  

Im reading between the lines here @TheWanderer

 

Thanks for your advice last week abiut options etc!

Thankyou thats very kind. Sorry but I was referring to thewanderer not wanting to see me in burtons window, hence confusion between reading and Reading! I'm actually in Cumbria!

Sorry it wasnt on the techical bulletin or any updates from skoda that I saw today. To be honest I havent seen a petrol 4x4 mentioned anywhere. 

 

@Auric Goldfinger coukd we move it to whitehaven, that branch of burtons has a much better frontage and is closer to me!

The SE L version is still listed on Listers website, but not sure if they're just being optimistic.
