Skoda Octavia High Spec?

dlambirl

Hi everyone.

Currently in the market for a Skoda Octavia and I have my local garage looking out for one for me. He imports from England and he has one that has leather seats, etc coming in. I havent seen one with leather seats on websites like cbg.ie or carzone so was just wondering could anyone here send me a link to where there is pics of one (just to see what its like)

Oh, and while your here.... does anyone have any inside info on problems with the Skoda Octavia??

Problems Ive seen would include gearbox change at small mileage (less than 50,000 miles on a number of cars), Dual mass flywheel at 60,000 miles (common) & electrical control units for windows & central locking etc. (very common according to breakers.)

Is it the Laurent & Klement spec? If so, it's a really nice interior. Half leather / half alcantara with a black interior, or full cream leather were the options.

Very rare on Irish roads, the only 2 I've ever seen were ones I delivered. Had one back recently and the interior was holding up well after 90,000km in 2 years.

No pics unfortunately and the only L&K on carzone has the half leather.

This is one but it is probably jazzed up a bit being from a a brochure:

Seen it yesterday - thanks guys.

The Skodas coming in from UK all have 100,000+ miles on them. Would this be VERY high miles for a 1.9 Skoda diesel??
