  1. thanks guys, is there anything in particular to watch out with the tfsi engines? Would love the diesel tbh esp for the tax amount but is the running costs mpg etc that much different when i am doing 6-8k per year? I suppose the later petrol version is £200 per year tax and probably a little cheaper over the diesel . Still looking anyway but might go and see this one and take a test drive as i have never driven one
  2. Hi folks, Thinking about going to look at this car, do i need to look out for anything in particular? Was fancying a diesel tbh but if i was going to go for one i think it would have to be the common rail version but as the mileage i do per year is low the extra expense would be unwarranted i feel and the horror stories about the pd engines and dpf's are knocking me off the earlier model diesels. I had a mk 1 fabia vrs and i loved it but obviously no dpf there :-). Here's the car anyway, what do you guys think? http://www.johnstons-cars.co.uk/pages/viewcar2.php?viewcar=454 '> http://www.johnstons-cars.co.uk/pages/viewcar2.php?viewcar=454 Cheers Daz Sent from my GT-P5100 using Tapatalk
  3. Hi, Thanks for the sound advice there Mort :-). Well i took the plunge and have purchased a Nikon D3100 with the 18-55mm lens for a really good price.........and a dummies book for it haha. Looking forward to getting to grips with it, heard a lot of good things about it.
  4. Hi, I'm fancying a go at photography guys, complete and utter newb apart from the old point and shoots but would like to get into it further for myself. Been looking at dslr's tbh but i'm wondering if its too big a jump for a beginner like me? Had my eye on the canon 1100d, any advice whether these are any good? Read a few review and they seem to do ok. Dont wanna go daft and spend a load on a super duper camera if i'm not going to get as much use as i would like too. Any advice would be great :-) Cheers Daz

  9. Hi, What type of wheel bolts should be used with the ocatvia vrs spiders? Taper or radius seats? Also what is the minimum size hubcentric spacers that will fit on the back of a Fabia vrs? I'm thinking 15mm ones but has anyone ran less? Cheers Daz
  10. Hehe no problem i was in the same boat for weeks......was really glad to get help from all the people on here . Oh and good luck with the problem too
  11. Fixed it today, it was the plug mentioned . Cheers
  12. Spot on mate, i will give that a look at but the garage had actually fixed the load sense wire as it was broke but you never know they may have missed it . Pm'd you with the pics of the said guide so just ignore that lol. Cheers Daz
  13. Ahhh with you now, How would i test if there is power going to it? unplug the connectors and measure the voltage with a multimeter when switching something on and off like the a/c? Hmmm really, could this have been broke if the alternator had been removed for instance? because it has....could you explain more in detail the position of this wire? Does that run in the sheath for the main alternator cable/plug? Cheers for help guys, its much appreciated
