It is always good to find forums of like minded owners that don't mind sharing information or ideas. I have already seen a couple of useful threads and guides which i intend on following. 

The only problem of having a Skoda Kodiaq in the land down user is i recently had the misfortune of being involved in an accident & the insurance company decided to repair the car .. the accident occured on the 10th of October and the repairer only got most of the parts needed for repair this week and i have been informed it will still be another 2 to 3 weeks until i get her back.

Welcome and sorry to hear about your Kodiaq.  Hope you get it sorted and back on the road soon!

Hello eMpTy  welcome to the forum, sorry for your plight , hope they do a good job . 

I got it sent to a VW authorised repairer (could not find any listing for local Skoda authorised) ... given that there are only a handful of authorised VW ones, i have the feeling they should do a good job. The repairer also said they do a fair bit of Skoda work including stuff for head office.
