Well, just returned from a weekend away in the Skoda, been to Oxford to for SWAMBO's birthday. 380 odd miles and returned 47.9 mpg  :) :) :) Well happy with that.

I must say I'm really liking it so far, took it to the main Skoda dealer for a cambelt change last month £359 all in + they washed & hoovered it for me too. The only 1 'niggle' I have with it is that the boot whilst huge inside, the access isn't anywhere near as good as the Omega. This due (in my opinion) is due to the measurement from edge of rear windscreen to rear bumper, it is very short so whilst the boot space is good trying to put things in it with ease is awkward. This may have changed on the newer ones though.

Nearly everyone I speak to say 'ah the old 2.5 Tdi, with the Bosch VP44 pump, that's old tech you'll have loads of problems'. ??? Funny thing is I've had 3 people trying to buy it off me for a lot more than I paid for it, but I ain't parting with it.
