hello!

Hi all,

My name is Helen and I'm on here as I just bought a 2004 octavia VRS, I have called her Olivia and she is settling in very well except for the rumbing noise that happened everytime I put my foot on the clutch. So i took her to the garage and they said that there was a diff bearing gone in the gear box which i have had repaired and a new clutch dropped in at the same time and she is as good as new. I dont think this is awful as I only paid five grand for her with a full history. She is def the nicest car we have ever had, we also have an astra gsi and since being forced to drive that whilst Olivia was at the garage I have realised just how comfy and well equipped the octavia is. I work for vauxhall and there really is nothing that comes even close to her here. A lot of people scoff at me when I say we have a skoda but I have realised that they are all ignorant!!!!!

anyway I'm off to enjoy my climate control and comfy seats!

Welcome to the forum Helen

.

You will shortly realise (from the welcome you are about to get) that there is a distinct lack of female members on here, good luck with the bombardment!

You can't educate pork, so they will never know the benefits of owning a Skoda are!!

By the way what does 'do you like chips' mean??
