  1. Hi wonder if you can help on this on my 05 VRS .Recently the above has started blinking/ going off randomly but particularly on hard acceleration and turning corners. I have checked the handbrake is down. Does this light warn of anything else and can one disable the loud beep as it is a distraction when driving. Nothing seems wrong with the brakes.
  2. Thanks but that looks like a Mk2 tray from description.
  3. Hi folks short and sweet does anyone know the part number for this or better still a part company that can suppply one at a decent price. Mine has come loose, is pretty battered now so might as well replace the whole thing.
  4. No need to say goodbye surely? It is a broad church here and many active members no longer own Skodas.
  5. I was only joking about the hands or was I? Yea I have put it on ebay starting at 0.99 no reserve. However owner wants rid fast as wants to stop paying rent on garage. He is 80 years old and does not want the hassle.Council will probably come change the locks on garage soon but then se have to get keys off them.I just said I would try the enthusiast sites to see if I could drum up some interest.I am always sad too to see the prospect of a good car being scrapped.I would have it myself but not technical. Sid the owner says he'll give it one more week then he'll get the breakers to take it away. I tried.This is last post from me on this.
  6. Well nobody has made an offer to take it away yet so the owner will probably have to pay to have it scrapped. It is a shame. Emailed mag editor and tech guy of Skoda Owners GB about it asking for them to pass word on but got no reply from them.I would like to cut the hands of the scumbags who vandalized it :(
  7. Never driven a BLt but tbh my gearing seems just right for long distance cruising. Mine is a 2005 and 2500 rpm at a steady 90 on the continent is perfect I think. She will still pull strong,y. from there.
  8. I still own mine and had it from new, I'm 39 now and car is 2005, unmodified and only 77k. I have no plans to get rid of it though!
  9. Not too dear really. Old car brochures are very collectable.
  10. Sorry Location is just off Saunders Street lower Gillingham. Two sets of keys and all paperwork. It was a runner a few weeks ago and put an ad here for it.Sadly vandals got to it before I found any takers...Garage is quite dark but body looks ok.Cramped space stopped them from completely wrecking it.
  11. Well I take it back lol I have one guy who has expressed an interest.Old boy wants rid in a hurry as in an unlocked garage and all the while there it is open to more damage.Council may come change locks any day then hassle to get keys as they are fooking hopeless. So pros: Sound engine No rust One owner from new Clean interior Cons Ripped out wiring under dash Mangled wipers Kicked in headlights Kicked in grill Battered steering wheel Give me a PM if interested and will give owners number.As said it's a freebie just have to get it on a trailer.We'd rather it wasn't scrapped.
  12. I hope so too. She runs but the sad thing is she was perfect last week. The useless council here changed the lock and the old boy could not get into the underground lock up to get the car out. He has sent his licence back.I had a mate who was going to buy it.Did not stop louts popping lock though. As said car is straight but has had headlights smashed, the front grille kicked in and the wiring ripped out. Needs a home asap or will face scrapper I'm afraid. Seems a waste but does not seem to be much interest in old Skodas like this. I will contact Skoda Club GB which I am a member of.
