I think I'd be telling the garage to supply and fit a new turbo Free of charge. -
Most people would say the dark side one piece kits. I had them on my car and they were ok. I'm sure some people have got the eBay knock off one piece pipes and from what I remember they were perfectly ok. Try having a search and seeing what you can find.

Being a garret I wouldn't have thought so. I'm sure KKK were standard fit on all fabia vrs. Probably still a pd130 though.

Need quite a bit changing.

New to me type of CV boot failure

I've seen a few tear like that too but normally grease is everywhere too. -

I think the rules for mots are that if there was a cat fitted when it left the factory then it needs to be there for the mot. Saying that I never had a problem when I had my fabia with a de-cat

Stock injectors are only good for 230/240bhp max. I found my paddle clutch perfectly fine for a day driver but of you want something that will last you'll need to spend money. With flywheel again a good brand dmf will be fine, smf is noisy and will damage the gearbox over time. Remember to sort handling out too.

Recommended disc and pad upgrades?

The pagid and brembos ecps sell are made under licence and not officially ' official pagid/brembos' Saying that never had a problem with pagid from ecp. Used to fit them on a hire fleet of taxis/mini cabs etc. Had some issues with ecp brembo stuff but could have been unlucky. Avoid the eicher brand. Cheap crap. -
Repairs worthwhile? Advice gratefully appreciated :)

I've seen quite a few cars fail the fast idle test due to exhaust leaks. If there is some water coming out the washer Then it might simply be that the end of the nozzle has pushed out and will need pushing back in. Mine failed the MOT when I had it years ago because of this. -
Maybe the odd one or two lol. Going back 15/20 years they made some great engines. I know mercedes have taken a big hit with reliability with the A class because of the French engines they've put in them haha.

Because its a awful car. If it looks like everything else it wouldn't sell. Plus they use french engines and have big problems with the timing chains

Anyone had experience with these brakes??

Drilled discs are fine for the road. Wouldn't use them on track though. -
Ahh the rare Mustang killer. Looks in very good condition Ross 👍

You have to sort out fitting the vac hose. But in all honestly there's no point in fitting one. Sounds terrible and some have had running issues. Standard filter is good for up to 230bhp.
