Third brake light replacement Octavia mk1 vRS
nige8021 replied to Chrissss's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I don't recall where I suggested to get a replacement but eBay would be my first place to check or if your OK with a soldering iron you might be able to replace the surface mounted LED's again source them from eBay -
Currently watching a episode of "The Professionals" (s1 ep6) and the baddies escaping in one of the first aircraft I worked on as an apprentice G-BEMX another one that I help put on the UK register was one for VW, it did Mon~Fri night flights over to Germany to pick up urgent spares

Drivers side crash sensor location
nige8021 replied to Sam745's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Found this in the structural repair manual, the area I've ringed in red is the gearlever opening for reference and the red hatched is the B X member -

I can't find anything definite but I would go with the floor crossmember from the B pillar ? -

My own stupidity, I was working on my Treg that has a totally flat battery (it's not run since Dec 21) I hooked up my NOCO GB70 jumpstart pack so that I could power up the system and open the rear doors to get my tools out but nothing, ended up having to reach over the drivers seat to pull the kit out, after a few beers tonight decided to read the NOCO owners manual and there is a safety feature that if it doesn't sense at least 2v from the battery it will not provide power, however there is an override by pressing the ! button for more than 3 seconds it will then supply power and I confirmed that it works with a multimeter, at least tomorrow I will be able to get my kit out without rupturing my back again.

Changing to auto-dip rear view mirror and moving it up windscreen

I used this https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-and-body-repair/adhesives/loctite-rear-view-mirror-adhesive-kit-464404.html when I replaced the mirror in my Ibiza -
@DieselMonte looks like it is a belt https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/timing-belt-set-10505/subaru/justy/justy-i-kad/4409-1000

The camshaft drive if belt driven would also be top of the list to be replaced ?

Yes before it was more of a Gentleman's agreement and not up for inspection by the FIA but Ferrari have historically been the biggest cheaters over the years and probably are still just they can employ better accountants

Considering Ferrari have for years diverted some of their R&D costs into the production cars and have not been penalised
