  1. Hope this has not died a death ----- any news?
  2. Work till 68+?!!?? B and Q dont have enough jobs for that
  3. Any calendar would be goood - cracking photos
  4. Got the new grill today and have losely fitted it to the car. Looks good so will clean her up tomorrow, stick the grill and take some photos. Fitted the chrome Milotec speedo dials and fuel gauge dial tonight - look ace
  5. Does the rear scenic one work as well or is it just the front?
  6. Last two cars were very good: E plate Micra (purchased from my mother that had it from new) it failed 1 mot in 16years (rear tyre) and the condensor broke every 6 months towards the end - very cheap motoring. Next T plate polo (again from mother): broke a wiper switch in 5 years then....... stone chip through headlamp (over £100), clutch bearing on way out, needed exhaust, tyres, front windscreen due to crack so decided to get rid esp as doing over 20 000 miles a year and petrol is costly. wanted another polo as all i spent on the previous one was the wiper swith in 5 years and 70 000 miles however found VW dealers rude - infact every contact with a vw dealer annoys me some how.... So bought the fab estate for over a grand less than a 1.4 polo TDI SE would have cost. FABIA to date has given me the most problems of any car: Fuel Flap - 3 times seems fixed Two new rear door seal and a boot seal (due to leaks) - seem fixed New drivers seat due to squek and rattle - fixed glove box rattle - gone for now! Repaired sun roof cover due to rattle - semi fixed About to have New drivers side rear window seal as not in line with body work BUT the car is utterly relaibe (well as a 55 reg should be), is the cheapest car I have run - fuel, tax, service, insurance etc etc, Renshaw and Newsome and JCB Essex have been top dealers esp JCB with all the warranty work. But most of all the car makes me and its nice to be a part of something like BRISKODA
  7. I had it in both lights after washing. Left the lights on for a bit to help the water evapourate and has not come back. See how it goes
  8. Hey up. I got it from milotec through JHM Butt (google both) part number 30501 Designer cover for original front grill _29-part_ Having had another look its stick on stainless steel. Cost
  9. Leak seems to have stopped after new seals on both doors.............fingers crossed also most of my rattles have gone....for now!!
  10. Mine has just had both seals done - await some rain to test so should find out soon!!! Things to look for Fuel flap Rattles Seats Fraying Wack sommon problems in to here!!! Another problem is the desire brought on to mod the car thanks to Briskoda!!

  14. Given that its less than a month til d'day the more you get out the better! If you have not run before? I rekon just get out as much as you can when you can. It is not about how quick but how far. My guess is you need a good long run one sunday of up to 10miles just to see if you can go the distance!! When training for london last year my longest run was 20miles! All the best and feel free to PM if you need any help
  15. Not a VRS but I uesd 1 1/2 litres in the first 5km then not a lot since. Halfrauds sell oil that is approved for VW PD engines - just check the label on the bottle.
  16. Stick with the fabia - its a great car despite some teething problems!!
