The car actually does drive very smooth, and does have a lot more features than I expected aswell Will hopfully get some pics on later tonight as I got around to fitting the coilovers yesterday so will get some pictures later on tonight. Thinking of getting the alloys refurbed and done in white, but can't make my mind up. You think they would look right in white mate?

Found a pic on the phone of the Fabia with my Dads Ford Prefect And a cheeky snap of the Briskoda sticker

Hi all, Im currently driving a Skoda Fabia 1.4 mpi 02 in orange/red bought the car off a friend over a year ago for a good price of £400 as needed timing chain changing and a few other little bits but the body work is mint. I didn't do much changes for the first year as I was getting all the necessary things done first. When I first bought the Fabia I started off by changing the timing chain, auxilary belt, new oil, air and fuel filters and a fresh oil change. The car run a lot better than I thought it would. As there was no stereo I bought myself a JVC CD player with aux input, and I put a 12 subwoofer in the boot and some 6x9s in little enclosures in the boot as I don't like the idea of cutting the parcel shelf up to have them on show, they were both wired up to a amp. Then a couple month down the line the head gasket decided it didnt like me so ended up getting the head done. After that the Fabia runs even better than before. It had the standard steel wheels which made the car look awful, so sorced some Skoda Atria alloys off eBay with new Pirelli tyres all round for a reasonable £250 delivered to my door, got to say the car looks a hell of a lot better with the alloys on. As I thought I could relax with not needing to spend anything else on the Fabia, it developed a coolant leak, it only leaked when engine was at temperature, after I inspected the engine I noticed that it was leaking from the thermostat, so sourced a brand new thermo stat off eBay and replaced it, thank god it wasn't a expensive job. Got some JOM Coilovers waiting to go on the car, typical just as they arrive the weather takes a turn for the worse and is lashing it down, were has the sun gone :( Will get some pictures up tomorrow if I get chance to, thanks for looking.

If you still have a set of these on the 22nd il defiantly have a set mate

Hi I'm new to this think the forum is great I'm 20 and drive a Fabia 1.4 mpi 02 I replaced the window regulator on my car today and stupidly broke the door lock pin clean off. I thought that it really is not needed, so left it off as I could not figure out how to re fit it. I replaced the door card making sure that the door cable release was hooked on and secured all the arm rest. The window now works fine. but the door will not open from inside the car. I can hear the cable pulling on the lock but that's all it does. The external handle works fine. Was wondering of anybody could help with any advice on what I can do to solve this, or will I have to buy a new lock mechanism? Thanks in advance

I know this thread is from a long time ago, but I was wondering if you ever solved the problem as I've just done the exact same on my fabia Thanks in advance
