G'day From Sydney

Followers

24 February, 200818 yr

Hi Everyone

I'm from Sydney, Australia and I've just bought a red Octavia 2.0 TDI PD 4X4 Elegance.

It's the first of it's type sold in Sydney and I just love it.

I'm a keen kayaker and carry three kayaks (sea kayaks or K1s depending on the need) on the roof of my Subaru Forester which I'm about to sell.

Unfortunately the Skoda roofracks haven't yet passed Autsralian Design Regulation testing so I can't sell my old car yet.

I've checked UK sites on the net and it looks as if Thule make the appropriate cross bars to fit my kayak carriers but on the Thule site it says "NO FIT" for my car model.

Has anyone any advice they can give me?

Regards

Red Baron

Hello, Recently bought a 176k mileage 2017 Superb for a run-around daily, around 2 months later came across an issue with very high oil consumption. It is almost like it is mysteriously vanishing, no leaks, absolutely zero smoke of any colour, and went through about 5 litres of oil in 2k miles. The people that i have been getting advice from made it very unclear what the issue could be. I was told it could be something silly or could be piston rings/turbo, and i doubt that the PCV and the crank
