£45 for an air filter change and £35 for the pollen filter what are they smoking

 

Remember you're not just paying for the parts. You're paying the technicians wages, for the nice clean, heated, air conditioned, fully equipped workshop. The free WiFi, coffee and happy smiley face on reception and the subsidised courtesy cars, business insurance, rent etc. etc.

 

Sure, we can all pick up a MANN pollen filter from Eurocarparts for a tenner and fit it in 10 minutes, the same for the air filter, but taking into account the above an extra £20-£30 to have someone else do it for you isn't bad at all in my opinion.

Hi

I want to buy a 2 to 3 year old Octavia, having owned two Octavia's in the past I know they are great cars (my previous one was a 2015 diesel ) but now I want a petrol ULEZ version and not sure which engine to go for, Is the 1.0 engine too small for the size of car?

 Im expecting to do around 8000 miles a year for general driving about. I have a budget of around 12-13K 

Any tips gladly appreciated as I dont want to regret buying the wrong engine.

Regards

Stuart

Why have you decided to change from diesel to petrol? (I changed to petrol mainly due to reliability concerns with DPF on the many short runs I do.)
