After some time searching, I've finally managed to track down a non PD Tdi Octavia..
Spotted it on Gumtree for a low price (and haggled my customary 20% off).
185k miles, 2 previous owners, partial s/h and MOT til Dec 15.
It could do with a hoover and some new discs and pads, but all in all I'm most pleased!
Full gory tale and pics of it here..
