"Forget the badge, its all about ability!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing, the car has been bulletproof for 600,000 miles now! Good job too in my line of work!

General comments?

Awesome, fast enough to keep me ahead of the boy racers, yet large enough for my crew!

Really handles well, suspension soaks up speed bumps too!

How can you put 600,000 miles on a car in only 2 years? That would mean you average about 900-100 miles per day. Where can you drive 1000 miles / day in UK / Ireland?

Might be a typo, but there again I can and regularly do 1000 miles a day (and in a Skoda)

Hi I have a 2002 rs and was wondering if you or anyone else have experienced any Power delivery problems as in more than usual turbo lag or less lag when driving. I have had the Bosch dump valve replaced with more reliable unit which helped, but still find sometimes this problem, any answers??

Also does the head lining vibrate at all on some road surfaces on anyone else's octavia even if not rs. I would like to know before I go ape at the dealer for being reluctant to do anything.

Thanks.
