Octavia vRS TSi

What do you think of the springs? I wasn't sure whether to go for the H&R or Eibach. Looks well, I keep wanting to change mine but can't get anything like it for the money.

They're just like standard, honestly no harsher at all.

If anything, its still a little boaty, but I think some of my bushing may be starting to show their age.

Check Amazon for the H&R's, there is nowhere cheaper!

Towbar fitted. Very pleased

I've an Ifor Williams cattle trailer that would look well on behind you lol

 

[Debaser]

Great looking yoke there, always liked them

Fellow caravanner here too, maybe see you out & about sometime!

 

[Gobsheene]

Wasnt much bother to the car at all made a big difference putting the correct pressure into the caravans tyres. 34psi vs the 58psi they should have been!

Happy enough with 25mpg whilst towing too.

Another caravaner here! I love it! We are hoping to get away next weekend for the first time with our Kuga.

Pretty new to it all, the wifes an old hand at it having done it from she was a kid.

Only been to Ballycastle so far, and will hope to get a few more weekends away over the summer and into the Autumn.

Our favourite is Tollymore. We want to get up to the North Coast during the summer though.

 

[Debaser]

I'd recommend the Camping & Caravanning Club guys

Weekend meets organised from March right through to Halloween; we don't bother with commercial sites any more

Usually off-grid though, so you would need some kind of solar panel setup

Few little changes to the Czech taxi over the last few weeks.

Finally added an exhaust so it sounds better than an asthmatic 1.6

3" Milltek Catback courtest of @BBSBOY & Fluff for fittingThanks very much!

Had to have a little work done on the wheels as there was a hairline crack, thanks for the great work as always @PeteMoore.

Headed to Castlewellan on Satruday with @browne174 and @veedubnoodle represeting the Skoda contingent.

Very happy with how the car is sitting, would love to be a bit lower but just wouldnt be practical at all.

she might not be a Carina E, but shes a dandible yoke hai!

 

[Gobsheene]

Off on the 2nd leg on the summer holidays in the tin tent.

I was indeed! well spotted!

Lost my temper in Ballinamore and flicked the bird at someone in a Passat, that wasnt you was it?

covered this today... never again till I get a decent tow car.

Cheers man! I wasnt that sure on them at the start as they have been done loads, but most people seem to keep it at 18" instead of 19".

Really happy with them now!

jees thats some hike lad in a day for you. . spotted the number plate and caravan last minute . clicked it was you as i was flicking through this thread yesterday and you were on your travels . i was in a truck just as you approach one of the roundabouts

 

[Gobsheene]

It was yea, not convinced that Google maps took me the best/easiest route... there was a few choice roads that I probably shouldnt have been doing 100K on... ended up breaking the fairing onthe A frame, but ill be able to fix that thankfully.

4 hours straight driveing and 30K of it was on the M7

 

[G N K]

I'm almost disssapointed in you for being a caravaner on the roads lol but alls forgiving when you're at least rolling on the 19s. Looks great

 

[Gobsheene]

Todays update:

Buttons not working yet but that'll be in the pipeline!

 

[Steve]

Nice upgrade. The oem wheel is pretty much the only thing on that shape of Octavia that I don't like.

 

[Mark_C]

any idea if that sort of wheel could be made work in my old '07 vrs?

Do you have the MFSW at the moment Mark? If you do theres probably a better chance of it working than mine has!
