Perhaps not the most exotic, or powerful car


But, this was our acquisition in March

1.6Tdi (Common Rail) It's averaging 50MPG 'knocking about, & 60ishMPG for wifes trips to Cardiff

VED is £30 per year, & we've just received the insurance renewal through @ £293!!!!
That's with both of us & in-laws on the policy (in case they need it for any reason!!!)

The only minor gripes/grumbles with it, from my perspective, are;
1. Only the off-side rear foglamp illuminates & the near-side cannot be activated/turned-on (checked with Skoda Technical)

2. It has very good sized lights, with 4 bulbs per side in the tail-lights (but neither them or the front side-lights are LED)

3. Mini-compressor & 'tyre-foam', not a spare wheel (but I know that's getting to be standard practice nowadays)

Ill chuck a couple in here i think, just flicked through the whole thread and there are some really nice motors in here, it seems there is a very close link between those who modified and rode bikes in their youth, to those who now modify and drive cars lol

finished lowering the caddy last night, a far more involved task than the forums would have you believe. also fitted mk3 golf gti seats in the front, again according to the forums they "slip straight in". mayby after strippind the backs off the bases and rebuilding them in situ!

Crikey, that is three discos I have seen with mud on them in the last couple of years. Interesting progression in vehicles!

 

[ChrisR]

A few people have asked why I didn't buy a cheap old disco for off roading... But that would mean having a road vehicle too.. This does it all and keeps you in complete comfort!

Progression of vehicles largely due to family life and growing family. Plan on keeping the disco for a very long time now (well unless I magically stumble upon a lottery win)

Well, I have just taken my spare car for its first MOT in many years. Speed bumps have sprung up right down the road our cul-de-sac goes on to. Thankfully they are the cushion type so it seems as long as I aim down the middle, it doesn't bottom out.

Pictures when it passes the test.
