Happy for any advice or improvements that can be made.

Is my 2007 Skoda Octavia a “saloon” or something else for roof bars/TentBox fitment?

Bit of a niche one but I don’t want to mess this up 😅

I’ve got a 2007 Skoda Octavia Mk2. It looks like a saloon, but the whole rear boot + glass lifts up together (so I think it’s technically a liftback?).

I’m trying to buy roof bars for a TentBox, and the website is asking me to choose between:

• Octavia
• Octavia Sedan
• Octavia Combi

I’m pretty sure mine is just “Octavia” (liftback) and NOT Sedan, but I want to double check before I order the wrong kit.

No roof rails on the car either.

Am I right in selecting just Octavia?

Cheers 👍

Need suggestions, around £8000 to spend, suv, pano roof,black leather, no wood effect 2.0 or above diesel. Sensible mileage. What would you buy and why? Thanks

Think the driver knows… yet?

happened to pull into the same services as the Valhalla on the way home too

I'm just curious.

Please add the year of your car as well.

Please also say age and when you had/have these quotes.

Hi.

the time has came for me to change the oil and oil filter in the car, I was wondering if there is anything particular I should be looking at when searching for the oil filter - are they all same size and can be used without the fear that I won't be able to physically fit it? I mean the sizing. Photo is just a reference one, I haven't bought one yet.

the first turbocharged car!

It’s the early 1960s. Ford isn’t yet producing anything special, but you crave a sports saloon. So, you visit a car dealership and discover the all-new Triumph Vanguard Six, a product of Standard. It features a new engine, the Triumph straight six, which would remain in production for another 26 years, finally concluding in the 1986 Rover 2300 and 2600 SD1. Today, fewer than a couple of dozen remain; most were wrecked in racing and during the 1970s’ with the boy racers. However, by the 1980s prices began to rise, making them no longer affordable. Even a rough one commands around £5,000 to £6,000, while a pristine example can fetch upwards of £20,000 and beyond. I recently purchased this car for myself which is solid and is just extremely mucky and need’s recommissioning, intending to either get it back on the road it and sell it or enjoy it as a fun weekend or daily driver. However, considering current fuel prices and my commute of at least 30 miles each way to work and 110 miles every Sunday, I’ll need to assess its practicality.
