Turbo gone, engine dead? 2012 Rapid 1.6 TDi 118k
As above. I've no videos, but I've seen similar happen twice before.

Stuck front brakes after a pothole
Well, my immediate thought is that you've pinched one or both front brake pipes.

Oil transmission fabia vrs 1.9 130hp 2006
That could be the issue then. It does depend on the specific manufacturer though, which is why I asked.

Unlocking a car without a key - is this real?
Seen it done by a police officer.

Oil transmission fabia vrs 1.9 130hp 2006
From which manufacturer, and was it a mineral, semi synthetic or fully synthetic oil?

Unlocking a car without a key - is this real?
In which context, back in the late 1970s I had a set of keys for my Dad's Triumph Toledo. I couldn't use them in the ignition, but I could use one (usually the Triumph boot key) in some of the door/boot locks of all my friends' Fords and Vauxhalls.

Reduce speed limits to support Ukraine?
It was a variable the last time I saw the official IR tables.

Reduce speed limits to support Ukraine?
I await with interest your calculations to show that a Scale electric car has an engine swept volume over 1.4 litres.

90-degree bend piece for the cooler. What is the part name
In English, I'd normally call a part like that an "elbow".

Going light at speed ?
Actually knowing what tyres are fitted, and indeed what sort of payload distribution you had on would help here.

Changing battery in Fabia 6Y 1.4MPI (50KW) - could someone double check whether I am about to make a mistake?
You don't actually need a wobble bar as long as you get the right length. Since you have to buy any tools you need anyway, you may as well buy the wobble bar in case you need one in future.

Injector recoding caused diesel knock
Which particular snake oil is that?

Brake pad knocking
Some Bayerische Mist Wagons are now transverse engine front wheel drive.

Best Reverse driving camera for Skoda Fabia MK III
You do realise that a fisheye lens does't give a true sense of distance to the subject?
-
Chameleon tint
I've never had any other sort; length, breadth, height and duration.
-
Hard to get out of P when parked on a sleep slope?
That will help for sure. The technical issue is that the car is resting on the park brake pawl, and when you try to select N (or D) you're working against a ton and a bit of Skoda.

Confusion with BOSCH lambda sensors.
It stops you even seeing the ignored users messages unless you actively choose to do so.
-
Anyone replaced shocks themselves?
Exactly. The only way I release strut springs from the clamps is if I'm replacing the springs rather than just the dampers.
-
Issues with adaptive cruise control
Thank you. I had spotted this as a possible issue before ACC was any sort of a thing.

Tyre rumble @ random points
I can't say whether or not it's dangerous without an inspection. I can say I'd be looking to spent more like £1_000 based on the stated issues.

Tyre rumble @ random points
I would say "cheap at half the price", but it's not.
-
Anyone replaced shocks themselves?
I wouldn't have either. That's a good way to have to deal with an escaping coil spring.
-
Hit and Run
As PetrolDave says. With the extra note that the Motor Insurers' Bureau may compensate you for your claim if you have reported the H&R to the Police.
-
Replace brake discs at the same time as pads?
Yes. Worn pads won't bed to brand new discs.

Octavia RS 4 vs Superb Sportline 3
Fine as far as it goes; I'm one of those people who straight-lines and off-sides twisty single carriageways where safe.
