I better not let my fully loaded Skoda (computer, air con, electric seats, heated seats, cruise, full leather, alloys etc. etc.) see that, Tony. It would be insulted!! I think I've told the story of my previous Octavia before. I had the keys stolen and it had a full new lock set fitted. £300 at the Skoda Dealer. The service chap told me that if had been a Golf, a VW Dealer would have charged £500 and if an A3, the Audi Dealer £800. Same lock set, same part numbers, same time allowance for fitting just a different sticker on the boxes.
