To update the post.
The garage have agreed to put right the issues (listed in my other post) which is going to cost them around 1400. So despite a shaky start the dealer has come through. An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory.” ― Millard Fillmore

Tail Gate won't open now.
Anyone with any feedback on the suspension sensors ?
I love the car but there have been so many problems in the first week of ownership I am considering getting shot of it. My heart says keep it but my pocket is saying get rid of it.
I was expecting some problems during ownership but not this many in the first week.An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory.” ― Millard Fillmore

Blimey, are all four corners the same part?
If they are and an easy fit I could have a stock. I suppose.An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory.” ― Millard Fillmore

No, they are not all the same part. You can buy a kit with all 4 though which is the most economical way to do it if you're expecting failures.2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Advanced Factors sell them n individually and as a set. For a while there was a LR dealer shifting them at a bargain price on eBay but I think that's stopped now.2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Heading back to UK in the morning (Monday) to get the warranty work all done
As most of the forum seem to be heading this way (France or Spain), I will be looking for some wave backs

2:22 am GMT. Just past Tours and filled up with diesel.
Big smiley face at moment
Had a plan to drive at same speed back as I did up. Then do a compare of mpg with new TC.
But apart from a few lorries and some Brits going on holiday (sorry if I made anybody jump ) the roads are empty.
So set the cruise at 2650 rpm and listening to Dezzer. So far, had Dezzer flow, then Cat Stevens followed by Super Tramp and now it is time for Marrilion.
240 kms to go. This is better than being at home, more comfortable and music I haven't listened to in years.
