The Octavia (1.6 tdi estate 2yrs and 2 months old) has once again been stretchered off to the dealers behind an RAC van. Last time it turned out to be a break in the wiring loom, this time it is thought to be some sort of turbo failure.
Add in the failure of the number plate lights because of corrosion, the intermittent DRL failure, random alarm activations and coming to the car to find the windows open, it's going to be a different manufacturer next time (not until December, unfortunately)
It was top choice last time, relatively low BIK and reasonable economy (51 mpg over the last 47000 miles) but the Kia Ceed SW was a very close second
And is in prime position as a replacement.
But is there anything else that fills the slot ?
