56 Reg Octavia 1.9TDi Ambient Metallic Flamenco Red 15000 miles.

(Dealer pics) Picking up on May 12th.

Just a pity it will be kitted out for taxi use after this date.

Nice car for the job.

Hopefully you'll not have problems with this one.

I love that shade of red that Skoda use. It looks really deep and lustrous, and even better in the metal!

Enjoy your new car!

Having recently upgraded Mk1 to Mk2 myself,

I'm sure you'll love it!!!

Did they find out what was up with the MK I or just offer you a good price instead?

Well they replaced the 4 intercooler hoses and seals as they were oil contaminated but didn,t really make much difference.The car still has slippy clutch and last night the front brakes began to bind like hell as it shreeks as i drive along now.So happy this is going in a week.Just hope the MK2 lasts longer:confused:

Meadens have given me £6000 trade in for it which i thought was very good for a MK1:thumbup:

Think you've done pretty well there too to meadens on that front.

I hope your MK II is better.

Never really heard of anything mechanically going wrong on the Mk2 105PD seems to be a much better engine.(Famous last words:rofl:)

Nice choice of colour

Not that you're biased or anything . . .

Looks a nice motor. Hopefully it will run well! Which was your previous Octy, the SDi or a TDi?

edit: intercooler hoses on an SDi . . mmm, I need to go to bed, connections aren't being made in my head:O

No my other one was a 100PD TDi 2006 MK1.Thankyou for the comments:thumbup:

Looking at those wheels on this car they do look a bit uninteresting.Does anyone think the same?

Maybe a little, but I wouldn't have commented.

They look a lot easier to clean when you don't have time to clean cars than some I've seen.......

I'd say they look "normal", but given they undoubtably have cheaper tyres than larger fancier wheels, I would have thought it's a boon in your job.
