Another Newbie, but a repeat owner

I have just joined the forum today, although I have had two Skodas for over 11 years. I have not had the need for advice from other owners until now as both cars have been totally reliable until today.....

I had a Superb 2.0 TDI 170 Estate from 2010 until 2015 when I sold it to my brother as he was so impressed with it economy and carrying capacity. I then bought a pre-registered Octavia 2.0TDI 150 Estate L&K.  The pre-registered price made it cheaper than the second-hand VRs that I had been looking at.

The attraction of both cars was their excellent load length with the seats folded down, as we are often carrying folding tables around the village in Kent. Also not many estate cars can carry a two-seat leather chesterfield sofa, which we have done on several occasions as it was used as a prop in an amateur dramatics production. 

I was a rally marshal in the 60's when I lived in Edinburgh and remember the rear-engined Skoda rally cars that had amazing reliability, so they often won awards on the roughest rallies after the opposition had literally fallen apart!

I look forward to learning more about Skodas from other members.
