£280 even!!

£450 was quoted for an Octavia Scout..... from what I read above? 

£280 for a Kodiaq 

It is all down to the wiring harnesses. The modern MPV skoda cars already have the harnesses installed. It is part of the VW group ease of installation programme that allows for upgrades (and more money for Skoda/VW) long term. They have seen the whole retrofitting thing and want a piece of the action.

 

The Scout needs the wiring harnesses installed, hence the extra cost. The Kodiaq/Krurock/Kameak range already have the wiring built in, so it is plug and play.

The Kodiaq is certainly not plug and play and requires quite a lot of interior trim removal looking at previous posts in this thread.

Maybe quantifying my last post, most of the loom is in...but it really depends on the spec and wiring harnesses installed.

I know it's a very long shot, but does anyone know of anywhere further south (west) who can do what Chris Farthing does for similar money.

I guess someone would have already mentioned it if there were, but there's no harm in asking is there 😃.
