Thank you, my son.

Bob Flavin Can you rewind back to before Ireland joined the Euro please!

@@BobFlavinVideo 😂😂😂 nailed it

carsQhere autoline will insure a fifteen year old car as a classic, as long as it's a second vehicle.

George Falls Well that's useful for those of us who can afford to run two cars and have the space to keep them. I had a focus from new for 13 years and found I couldn't shop around for insurance when prices skyrocketed because of its age despite it being perfectly roadworthy.

My own car is 11 years old and I had no problem getting insurance. Email me your problem and I'll make some calls.

Actually George has space in his garage for about 6 cars! PS George: Autoline only insure UK residents I presume, so no use for us in Ireland.

Bob Flavin Solved the problem by trading for a nearly new Octavia combi. Thing is, insurance companies in Ireland are declining insurance on +10 y/o cars if you haven't owned/insured it previously and even if you have they're loading you for the age. Nothing wrong with older cars properly maintained.

it used to be a taxi

dazza Ya I remember it well around the town.

nice one.built to last.Do you know Bob has another video on this car?

I have a 2004 Octavia combi L&K. With the ASZ PD130 diesel. Most reliable car I have ever had to date. Just keeps going, serviced to skoda QG1 service regime. It has never let me down.

Hii guys.. just want a bit of your time. I drive a 2007 Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi (ALH).. and it’s kinda becoming a headache now.. the problem started few months back when the clutch started slipping so the guy from my FNG test drove it and came to the conclusion that it needed a clutch change.. So the very next day i did the same.. got the clutch and pressure plate changed (note: i didn’t replace the flywheel as according to the mechanic it was good in condition).. The day clutch got replaced car was running fine but the very next day it started slipping again.. This time my doubt goes towards the Slave cylinder.. i myself check it and bam.. it was gone.. oil was leaking.. So i got it replaced too.(as these parts are kindoff headaches to get here in my country so what i did was i replaced the slave cylinder with a used OEM one which was okayeesh in shape) a day or two went by it was driving as it supposed to but the third day again slipping starts😶.. Brake oil is filled to the max.. no leakage whatsoever.. Now I’m confused as hell as to why and how the clutch is slipping.. (Also i have close to no brakes.. whenever i push on the brake pedal it makes hissing sound and the pedal’s travel is almost to the floor but the brakes are only working about 10-20% of what they should).. Both the brake and clutch’s issue started somewhat around the same time.. (bottomline: Now i’m really confused if there’s air in the brake lines or did i really make a mistake by not changing the flywheel or is it the second hand slave cylinder unit) Is there anybody who can read such a huge comment of mine and help?

Haha, I chuckled at the traveling gypsy bit.

Tough X Men elbow...

That might just happen, I'll need a bag of tools to get there though!

They redo the whole test.

They don't redo the test just the items that failed the first test.

Half a million miles..!

it's just over 500,000

Figgles! Thanks for that. Cheers!

yes

Yes he did

Dan Wall those aren’t really major issues tbh. It’s nothing to do with the engine. The problems you had are relatively inexpensive and easy to fix if you know what you’re doing (you should if you buy a car like this). Sure things get broken but you can experience that on any car.

You clearly know nothing about cars!?

What do you know about the cars I've been in? Stupid fanboy...

I have no interest in knowing where you've been, thank you!. If you want to slag off perfectly good cars with no reasons or evidence to back it up then please go somewhere else. And if you want to slag off contributors in here then ditto.. P*** off!

You have no interest, but that will not stop you from being a jerk. I do not need evidence to express my personal opinion. Mind your own business stupid Skoda fanboy...

Have you nothing better to do? I know, you're sitting there with nothing better to do while you wait for your alfa romeo to be repaired (again!)
