  1. i'll have it, i'll pay quickest y'know
  2. Hi, im wanting to spray the wing mirror caps on my mk1 fabia. im just hoping someone can shed a bit of light. ive removed the bottom screws on the housing and managed to get the mirror glass out, i broke it in the process but anyway, i have also removed the screws inside the housing that holds the casting for the mirror base to the cover but still no movement? i appreciate any replies in advance
  3. Thanks! a bloke at work today said it was most likely to just be a tensioner that hadn't been set when the chain was done. but would that trigger the EML?
  4. Right guys, i have a 2001 fabia mk1 1,4 8v that i bought only a couple of days ago from a garage (not a dealership) and has only done 83k and to be honest is immactulate inside and out. So the day i bought it, the car was absolutely fine, plenty of pull, no nasty noises etc. just the wheels that need aligning but anyway...Yesterday the EML came on the dashboard and only tonight have i noticed when i opened the bonnet a god-awful rattle in the engine. Now the bloke i bought it off said the head had just been skimmed, gasket replaced and if i remember correctly the timing chain done. Now i've read similar issues with other peoples car and it seems the most common thing of this type is the timing chain has skipped? I just need some guidance really, the car is going on the diagnostic computer tomorrow at a local garage but i was just wondering if there's anything anyone can tell me now? i do apologize for being blunt Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom.
