I would guess the other guy has said 'I'm getting married, this wasn't supposed to be anything serious'. And she's thought, ok, I'll stick with my boyfriend until someone else comes along You will never trust her and tbh I don't think she deserves that trust either

Picked up this VRS230 today, bloody love it

Do you want me to click the link for you too! lol http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.briskoda.net%2Fforums%2Ftopic%2F341794-new-feature-simply-clever%2F%23entry4111146

No probs. I'll aim to make an ikea style instruction manual (including words).

Cheating on someone to get revenge ain't the answer lol, might make you feel good, but makes you just as bad as the otherSent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

If it hadn't been for ignoring you I'd have said try to work it out. She obviously wanted him, he didn't want commitment only fun, she's realised this and now wants you back

Considering the nature of the topic, I'm moving it to Roadside.

It's horrible to say, but move on, I had a girlfriend for 2 years, okay she never cheated on me (I had my suspicions) but she always flirted with guys behind my back, caught her doing that 3 times and it took 3 times to realise she didn't give a **** about me and she was just using me, it didn't occur to me until later that she clearly didn't have any sort of "love" feeling towards me, if she did why would she flirt with other guys behind my back?

Well collected this "beast", or as we are calling it "a computer on wheels" two days ago and have now done 200 miles. All I can say is the car is amazing. The tech bits: "L&K 220TSI DSG, with Rear Camera, Spare Wheel, Paddles, Smart Light Assist, Rear Wiper, Backrest Release, Heated Washers, Mud Flaps, Traffic Assist" The engine is smooth and powerful and likes to go and I mean go. Coming from a 11 year old Mondeo the change is a big learning curve. Will be happy once all the bedding in has been done, as it sounds a little "exhaust blowy" when the engine is cold but is fine once warm. Attached are some pictures from this morning.

Looking good after I finally got chance to clay, polish n wax it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very good choice there. I miss my TFSI. Keep us posted on how you get on. The engine bay will look great. My routine for them is the same as Karl's. I'm not one for a pressure washer in the engine bay. With a decent quality APC it won't take long to cut through all that.

Nice! Love the colour! As for the engine bay, some diluted APC, various detailing brushes & plenty of MF cloths & then protect with a trim dressing of your choice will have that looking spot on! Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

There is no benefit in using higher octane fuel for these low compression engines. Use whatever is recommended for your car. Otherwise you're just throwing money out the window...

Driving back from Devon today, overtaking the fast moving traffic in the right hand lane (the other two lanes were, the cars I were overtaking). had a person (I did have other choice words at the time) tailgate me and flashing the lights, I finishing passing the cars and then move in, he decided to do his bully boy tactics with the car that was in front of me, lights, horn and hand signals but he took the time to look he may have noticed what I did, it was an unmarked police car. lets say lots of blue lights and I would imagine a stern telling off. made my day.

I'll be surprised if this doesn't turn into a five-page thread about how unserviceable modern appliances are a' la Lavamat washing machines

He's a revelation. Completely takes everything in his stride and is still happy, joking and smiling every day. Speaks about his Mummy often which is good, but difficult.

Unforgiveness is like letting someone else live rent free in your head!! Wether you choose to give it a go or say your goodbyes and move on you will still need to find away of letting go. I've counselled so many people who have unconsciously carried that unforgivness, hurt and mistrust into every relationship they went on to have. It's not easy and is most certainly a process, but certainly one you need to face and start finding a way through. Message me if I can be any help or point you to someone who could nearer to yourself.

As promised, pictures of how I fitted the mesh to the grille. Simply trimmed and bent over the edges then glued it down with a weight on the mesh. Also with Brands approaching I remembered that my tow eye is buggered. Both the thread on the eye and on the car are gone, I've also noticed the hard pipe kit is in the way quite a bit too. So I thought I'd quickly make one up on lunch. Bumper off Quickly spray painted the number plate brackets and removed the tiny number plate that was behind the main plate still lol (couldn't be bothered to remove the old sticky tape lol ) Thread was ground down and the tow eye was cut Drilled an 8mm hole through the part on the car inserted the tow eye and marked and drilled. Then drilled another 8mm hole at the end going vertical. Cut the end of some old ratchet strapping and folded it over and used a huge penny washer to sandwich it together when bolting it up, and there we have it Tested it too by being towed around the yard and seemed to work pretty well, even survived some rather jerky action

In just having delivered even though I was at their place on Sunday at northern retro meet so should have really picked what I wanted then. I sold my mk1 Fabia last year but the mk2 is still here and going strong, I've got a mk3 golf gti as bit of an on going project :-)

Got a small order from clean your car due tomorrow Gyeon clay lube Gyeon windscreen sealant Some microfibres

You can only do what you want to do... Which ever option involves pain, you just have to opt to pay up front or to defer until another time. A leopard does not change it's spots.

My Yeti is a 24 hr taxi. Bogging teenagers.

MB just called, new car will be with me between 0700 and 0800, it's being trailered overnight from a Newcastle Dealership. Did them a favour and gave my Dartford base as the delivery address to save traipsing round Kent and give the delivery driver half a chance to get back up north at a decent hour.

Yeah I'm gonna try attack it with my hole cutter

Quite! :( Swapped the front pads to DS2500s. They fit better than the bloody Wilwood ones (in Wilwood calipers!) and my braking is much quieter now (no creaking, knocking from the pads). Very disappointed with the Wilwood pads.

Morecambe and Wise. Perhaps it just my age group, but acts like Cannon and Ball where never in the same class as the 2 Ronnies and M&W

Fully adjustable BC coilovers including top mounts going on this week: They really are top quality bits of kit and I had an amazing price from Nathan at Performance Engineering in Cardiff so get in touch with him if you're after any bits! Also this week: Full safety devices cage! Need to make some door cards!

Did some stuff today, got rid of the remains of the glue in the roof from removing the insulation, Removed rear bumper as I wanted to paint a bit more of the diffuser ,as I can sometimes see unpainted bits where I couldn't quite get the brush in when I painted it with the bumper on. Also gave the crash bar a quick coat, and removed another 1kg off bootlid Some pics Before After Also handily found the n/r light unit had started to melt where a bulb had gone, so new unit and bulbs on there way

This goes back to my point that the out campaign seem to think that all other countries want to surrender their national autonomy to Brussels and it's only the plucky English standing up for their own. It would take a UK government that wanted to give these things up AND it would need a similarly minded government in the 27 other countries to achieve those wild claims scribbler set out. They're marked as wrong because no one in Europe wants to give these things up. There are plenty though who realise that pooled sovereignty in certain areas makes a lot of sense. We're all Europeans and sharing decision making in certain areas is just common sense. Trimming bureaucracy and waste makes sense too, but that's not a problem confined to the EU.

It's a fantastic looking car with superb spec. Love the heated rear seats and all of the other options. I found mine on Pistonheads in November and the car (Manual diesel hatch) with a similar spec and lower mileage was a little lower on price - message me if any details would help? For it was my ad I would trumpet the fact that the car has such a fantastic spec. It's really hard to find as so many were ordered on 0% deals and as company cars with zero options. Good luck!

Good luck, and as I have said previously it will be like wading through treacle at times but don't give up if only to avoid future loss of life but also to get some justice for yourself and your weeman. Once again let me say that you are handling this admirably and surely an inspiration for many in dealing with such issues.

Now IMO, that's re-runs of programmes you don't mind watching again and again. Fork Handles anyone:

There is always a but... Sorry if there is grammer/spelling mistakes - english is not my native language. People always seems to think that high octane fuel is some sort of rocket fuel that will make their car into a Le Mans racer. I'm actually a SAAB nutcase that has turned to Skoda for everyday driving, but in the past many years I have been around high performance turbo charged cars like the 9-3 Viggen and the discussions about high octane has been a hot topic all too often. So the facts.. 1.) the octane rating is not a "energy" classification, but an "anti-knock" rating. Engine knocking if very common on turbo charged cars ( like the TSI ) and occours when the fuel self-ignite before the spark plugs was suppose to ignite the fuel. Remember this is combustion engines, not explotion egines - but when knocking occour a small explotion is really what happens and this is while the pistons is still moving upwards toward the upper dead point. The self-ignition of the fuel hammers on the pistons trying to make them go down while they are moving upwards. This can be heard as a ping and shaking. Modern cars today have knocking sensors, early types was fitted on the engine block and later types often has electronics where this function is placed with the igntion coils and spark plugs. Fuel self-ignition can be caused by soot deposits in the engine ( starting to glow ) - but on turbo charged cars the compression ( the turbo compresses the intake air ) is high and often too hot because the intercoolers are to small to cool down the intake air to proper levels. Keep in mind that the air after the turbo charger can reach temperatures in the 600-800 degree celcious area. Hot air contains less oxygen molocules than cold air, hence the intercooler. Hot intake air also contributes to a hotter combustion making it more prone to knocking. As far as I can tell the 1.2 TSI 110 HP has a compression ratio at 10.5:1 which is actually pretty high and likely why it is so strong ( high torqued from 1400 rpm ) even at lower revs. Engine management is able to "sense" the type of fuel you put on the car, by detecting when the engine starts to knock. When this occours engine management will force the turbo pressure down to precent further knocking since this can damage the engine, even knock a hole in a piston if severe enough. Back to the but...self-ignition temperature of regular fuel 450-550 °C, Super fuel 480-700 °C The higher torque demanded, the higher temperature, higher turbo pressure, hotter air.. So if you got a heavy foot, running on hot summer days or just like to cruise at low revs... high octane fuel might not be a bad choice or a waste of money. Since gaosline in it self has a octane number around 60, its required to add "something" with very high ocatane rating - in the old days MTBE ( very toxic ) and now likely ethanol or isopropanol. The drawback to this is that the higher octane additives has less energy when burned, so 1 liter of RON 95 will in most cases contain more energy than 1 Liter 99 RON. Many people can't grasp howcome their car often has better millage on 99 Octane fuel than 95. This is in most cases caused because the fuel is put better to use, since the engine can reach higher torque at low revs without knocking, pulling every inch of energy out of the fuel where the 95 or 92 octane fuel would not allow the engine to do the same hence wasting fuel, demanding higher revs for the same performance and more fuel. In theory and put to the test, I believe that the 1.2 TSI 110 HP might deliver 5-10 HP more on high ocantane than on 95 - but only in the "extremes". Meaning at low revs your would meassure some amount of higher torque and on high revs some amount of higher horse powers. On the 9-3 Viggen with it's 2.3L High performance turbo charged engine there was a clear difference on hot summerdays when running high octane. I would not expect the same of the rather small 1.2 TSI. My best guess would be better milage with the same driving style. I hope this makes some sort of sense :-)

The other question for lichfielddriver is this.... Was it bought from a Skoda dealership as new or from a Skoda dealer / somewhere else as a used vehicle. If it was bought used there is the possibility that someone at some point has badged a normal 1.6 diesel as a greenline to make it more desirable.

Just ordered some Gloss Boss, need to after those quality pics from Ste. One problem I found with ordering it from the EZ site is that it has problems with accepting monies from Offshore ( din,t have this problem first time around)., so have had to order it from EZ,s E/Bay site. Must be a problem with living on a Rock in the middle of the Irish Sea. Tony

Thanks. Yes it's typical of the Early Japanese cars but I like it. Picked it up today. Fully loaded interior is just excellent. Has a 10 speaker Mark Levinson sound system which only the Premier edition gets. The sound is out of this world. It was a great drive back to Bournemouth (30 miles). In town it was on full electric with occasional engine to get up to speed. On the motorway it was both because of 70mph but it was showing an instant mpg reading of 60.6. When I got back ( that was staying in normal mode). I did give it a quick try in Sport mode. The throttle response is sharp and instant and the steering stiffens up,quite a good drive especially for overtaking. Nice full leather interior and the seats are very comfortable. Still no noticeable hard suspension on this. Just trying to get to know what all the switches and buttons do at the moment. Trying to pair my iPhone with it was a bit confusing but did it in the end. There's a lot of menus on the flip up screen. Otherwise pleased. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure ...This engine is from Toyota Glanza V it's 4e-fte 1.3L turbo charged engine The following link is for engine full specifications from Ehow site http://www.ehow.com/list_7491981_4efte-engine-specifications.html Okay about my swap it was a little bit difficult to be honest because I make custom mounts without making major modification in Felicia engine bay I make only three 8mm hole's in gearbox side & four hole's in the chassis in other side to fit engine mount & luckily Skoda rear gearbox mount fit in Toyota gearbox after lengthened with spacer Ohh yeah I remove the rear seat heater duct to place gearbox stick mechanism & make small slot in car floor to pass shifter cable's Sorry if somehow my english is bad

Got the clutch and flywheel on tonight. Forgot to put the locating pins in to start with [emoji849] Then had to swap cups on the gearbox, then noticed the gearbox mounts are different. Think i'm going to have to grind the casing down 5mm. I'm not swapping the diff into my old box thats for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got round to giving it a good wash and a machine Polish so I could add some paint protection today. Products used are..... Sonax profline perfect finish polish Sonax Polymer net shield Dodo juice shampoo..... The results speak for themselves..... Shame it was a bit overcast and I was using my camera phone. The paint is flawless.

An idea before pushing on on track or road.

It is gutting, but you have to ask yourself - given the trust was broken once, allegedly because of your job, can you say 100% that all trust can be reinstated and never have a nagging doubt while you are still doing your job? Honestly i think both of you would be better off to walk away. You can forgive her and stay friends or whatever but clearly a relationship isnt going to suit you as a couple if she has had her head turned once already..

looks 'superb' can't wait to get mine ! It's built and on its way ! Capuccino (wife's choice) l&k hatch, beige leather

So far so good then

Ah yes - RTFR Saw the photos and started typing

Good idea, it doesnt work with all phones and OS options though, as I found on my first trip to China. My current phone wont talk to my PC after the latest OS update, a bug unfixed since early January, although it still shows up as a MSD.

I think if you also open the front one about 1/2 inch the noise isn't as bad, or open both rears

Well... I totally agree with this kind of thinking. Problem is the majority of buyers want cheap parts. It's not the dealers that decide what parts to import. Sadly, it's the clients.
