[Spare wheel]

Plenty of spare wheels and jack kits on e bay as those from a VWs polo will also fit a mk 3 fabia

[Skoda Fabia Mk3 leather seats upgrade]

There are at least 3 full sets of mk3 Monte Carlo seats on eBay at the moment if that helps

[Reversing Sensors Beep In Wet Weather]

you dont need VCDS to tell if a parking sensor is faulty just put the car in reverse with ignition on and put your ear right up to each sensor in turn - if working the sensor will emit a clicking sound

[07]

fitted this kit to our 10 plate fabia a few weeks ago - seem good quality and very easy fit. you get 2 struts with all brackets  bolts and fitting instructions. delivery was pretty quick (4 days) and well packaged

bonnet does not open quite as far as with original stay - but not an issue - you need to remove original stay and orange clips for bonnet to close properly

happy with ours and would recommend

[new member - bought 2 skoda`s in last 2 weeks!]

hi all

new to the skoda brand although had numerous golf`s polo`s and passats so  they feel familiar

bought a 60 plate octavia scout 2.0 tdi  a couple of weeks ago to replace a land rover discovery 3 - love it already feels great to drive and 50ish to the gallon is brilliant compared to the 28-30 from the disco

also just bought a fabia3 1.9 tdi on a 10 plate for the wife to replace a mk4 golf tdi 130 estate - she also loves that even though she`s only had it a week the golf is already forgotten - and we owned it for 7 years so that shows how good she thinks the fabia is!

looking forward to long term trouble free ownership of them both and to paricipating on this site

regards all

tony 

[Octavia MK2 Milotec hydraulic bonnet strut]

hi there

do you still have the bonnet strut at all

i have just bought a skoda octavia scout on a 60 plate and assume that it will fit

if so i only live a few miles away near newark and can collect it if it fits

cheers
