[BBS CH replicas now on car]

You know in China they say get rid of those **** Dunlop's or your end up in a rice paddy! Now go buy yourself some Ling Longs

[Had a little test drive of the new vRS today...]

Give it a couple of months and I'm sure most people would give up on the paddles and drive it auto .

[Miles to a full tank]

I have seen 500 but normally get around 400 doing my commute from Liverpool to London.

Should never had sold the fabia vrs you have to drive to restrained to get good mileage.

[Fao mark_sargeant19 *Carpet change*]

Are you getting that new car smell , I always thought the carpet created it

[RS and a VRS]

I believe it should be called the rs as v only represents the accent above the s in skoda, and the term vrs is a uk mistake.

[Should I get the wheels white or anthracite?]

Its near to a village called Nice Beaver

[Should I get the wheels white or anthracite?]

Shavington.....ha !

[Wheel Questions]

No was thinking more of a twin engined 4wd !! make the trip to tesco's easier:rofl:

[Wheel Questions]

I want them wider cause i like the euro/porsche look the team dynamics alloys are not really dished but the wider ones have more presence , which looks cool to me.

[Wheel Questions]

Hi All,

Have a couple of questions regarding changing my alloys.

1. Will a 9x18 alloy fit on the back , with a 8x18 on the front looking at Team Dynamic Pro 1.2 in black.

2. could someone give me a ruff idea of what i would get for my spider alloys?

many thanks

Ant

Really just want to boost my post count!

[New front discs]

Hi just got these from CRN Products only £160 for red stuff pads and front discs which i thought was good after looking at other brands, does anyone have experience of these?

Also are the wear sensors only on the pads ?

[Clunking after Lowered]

you've probably done it but when i got my old polo lowered they forgot to tighten the top bolts once it had come off the jack had that caused it to clunk.

[The old tyre chestnut]

Have you tried looking at 205/40/17's i've been looking for new tyres too and found these to be even cheaper had a look on online and found 4 nankang ns 2's for £150 Not sure what peoples view is on nankangs but for £150 for 4, a worn or punctured tyre does seem so painful !!

[considering an octavia]

Get a Fabia Vrs great fun and it was cheaper to insure than my "chav boi" saxo vtr (oh the shame) !

[Self Service]

Thank everyone i'll give it a go!!

[Self Service]

Hi I've got an 05 VRS Which i'm going to be owning for the next 4 years and i was thinking what people thought about servicing the car myself ie all the easier bits not belts or changing turbos!!

I just don't think a 05 car in 2012 will be changed in value by home servicing + plus i'm tight!!!

[Creaky drivers seat (04 plate VRS)]

Had it on my new shape Fabia just sprayed WD40 on to the moving parts of the seat which stopped it !

[Flicky indicator on for few seconds malarky!]

Does anyone know if like the fabia , you can lightly push the indicator stalk to make it come on for a few seconds rather than fully flicking it on then off . I just wanted to make sure mine isn't broken ? If this function doesn't exist could a newer arm and computer fiddle make it work?

thanks Ant

[powertec induction kit]

Yeah i had one on my Fabia VRS good quailty and nice finish great sucky sound !!!

[max power]

Anythings possible within the VAG parts bin i've read that a lot of people use the 6 speed diesel gearbox. check out VW tuners they've been sticking the 1.8T in everything from polos to mk1 golfs the latest issue of Performance VW has 3 cars all pushing 300bhp !!!!

[FMIC Fitted]

I remember reading in VW mag that someone fitted a merc sprinter intercooler and said it was a lot cheaper, just an idea!

[octavia vrs fog lights]
