...or soon to be. Already finding you guys a big help. Pickin' up a 2004 53 Octavia 1.9 TDi Elegance on Saturday. Be glad to get tips from anyone out there ;-) on things like:

Dog Guard (not for a dog but keeping luggage stacked to the ceiling secure)

boot mat

roof racks/bike racks/roof boxes (the new car has rails)

cheers

Welcome. I have a Skoda dog guard - the version for the 4X4 estate - which I use to keep luggage secure on holidays. I also have a Carbox bootliner and a Fapa roofbox mounted on Atera Signo aluminium rail-mounted carriers. The latter are both available from The Roof Box Company.
