He deleted in purpose the majority of his images from the Image Hoster (Imgur) so no one here can see them now. He did it as an act of ''revenge'' because many (including me) had problem with his attitude, he could have them as Attachments no matter ih he was not posting but he upload them via Imgur so he could delete them from his account at any time.

Brake drum bearings greasing excessive?
I found this searching about bearing lubrication: CAUTION: Do not mix lithium, calcium, sodium, or barium-complex greases due to possible compatibility problems. When changing from one type of grease to another, it is necessary to ensure all the old grease has been removed. In case of something goes wrong with the seal:

Skoda Felicia Cabriolet 1960 (Greek Movie Appearance)
No,no wasn't a mistake from you, from Google translate it's impossible some things to explained-clarified correctly. ''Philotimo'' can not be translated in other languages via Google, in English is ''Pride'' but is completely different ,eaning. For example ''screwing'' is used in Slang for sexual activity in British language but in translation to Greek is ''twisting the screwdriver'' and it's a term that every man-woman uses it. On the other hand ''Pipe'' is a word that used here for 3 reasons: 1) a cylinder for liquid or gas transfer 2) a ''device'' to smoke tobacco for example briar pipe or meerschaum 3) oral sex so it's normal here to say ''get a 20mm pipe'' (grab a metal pipe from the shelf) or ''i do pipe only at weekends" (i am smoking only at weekend) but you can't say to a girl-woman ''get me a pipe'' because this means ''do to me an oral sex'' and that's offending and can led you to court-jail or in a fight if you say it to a man. The Americans say '' i am going to the head'' and they mean the ''WC" but if you translate it in Greek does not make any sense, the same is with their ''i know nothing" because translated in Greek it's oxymoron and everyone will laugh if you say it this way. On the other hand for us it's extremely difficult to understand movies with ''Victorian'' era English words (not Slang) because the schools at English lessons here never mention them. Many words here for car parts are from France language for example every Greek especially at '50-70's era was saying: ''parbrige'' (in French is pare-brise) and means the Wind shield ''ambragiage" (in French is embrayage) and means the Clutch ''portbagage'' (in French is Porte bagage) and means the Boot ''volan'' (in French is Volant) and means the Steering wheel ''marspie" (in French is Marchepied) and means the Running board ''reprige'' (in French is Reprise) and means the Acceleration from 80-110 Km speed ''capo'' (in French is Capot) and means the Bonnet etc...

No, ''Philotimo'' comes from 2 words ''Philo'' and ''Timo'' which actually means ''friend of your own honour" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philotimo When a Greek says to another ''You don't have Philotimo?" or ''You don't have Philotimo on you?" it's like saying ''You don't have sense of your own Honour?" but in more heavy manner, for example it's a phrase that a grandpa says to his grandson if he speaks to him with an insult. A friend says it to another when discover that after so many years of friendship suddenly he became a snitch to the supervisor to gain something temporary, a wife to her husband when we want to divorce throwing her and the babies out of the house etc. Since it's a lot ''heavier'' word that the ''shame on you'' you use it in extremely circumstances as a last defence, when a Greek hears this he thinks not twice but triple times what he did and often regrets. As long as i live i haven't heard a Greek in my age or older to say to other Greek: ''No i don't have Philotimo" and the other answers ''Yes i don't have", it's like admit that your Morality reached the bottom, you don't respect even yourself and you are ''a Nothing".

Doors scratched in my Felicia.
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanUnfortunately another ''hit and run'' incident few days ago.Someone turn right more than it should be, his car ''dragged'' on mine and run away. The results: 1) this plastic parts unplugged and broke one support protrusion 2) a crack on the bumpers paint 3) a scratch on the lower part of the bumper 4) that plastic part scratched and unplugged but i manage to put it back. The front fender also has a black stain (the colour of the culprit's car) and the cost for the whole damage is around 250-300 euro (218-262 GBP) which i had to pay from my wallet.

Skoda Felicia recommended fuel
Happened to me only once in a specific gas station with an old employee, the tank was almost empty (in purpose) and i was surprised when i heard the ''clack'' after a while and again another one few seconds later. I asked the employee ''what's happening?" but he turn his body so i couldn't see what's happened, that day this incident ruined my fuel consumption measurements (i didn't had the TC-6) and i never visited this gas station again. In other gas station this never happened.

10" Dash Camera Rearview Mirror in my Felicia
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanUpdate: I visited a Car-Glass branch and the technician glue back the base of the mirror although i think he overdue it with the glue. He insist that there would be no problem with the weight but i ma not 100% sure. Surprisingly the mirror after so many days kept in his memory date/time etc so no need to adjust anything, as you can see it's very helpful because as is ''stand by" you can see at any weather who's or what is behind you and while turning on the Parking mode you can see even your licence plate at 4st scale ! You can park night or day no matter what obstacle is behind you, so as the Americans @nta16 best friends say ''we're back in business". 😁

Skoda Felicia recommended fuel
As a ''general idea'' here is to use them (in a car like Felicia 1.3) when you are going to travel (Highway-Mountain) so you will push the engine in higher rpm so those ''clening'' additives will do better job. Of course it's an unofficial view of the matter although some drivers report betetr performance, one click cleaner valves etc.

10" Dash Camera Rearview Mirror in my Felicia
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI had the thought to buy a screen (or a tablet maybe) to fit it in the dashboard to have all that assistance plus remove the weight from the mirror. Many told me to don't do it because it will look as an extra and not original so the first night local junkies or g@psies or ''investors'' will brake the glass to steal it. The glass repair stores will start opening tomorrow, if they glue it back will last long or after few years will fall again suddenly?

Engine bay surprises
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanSame here but for a Policeman from just a glance in the sticker the first impression can be made, https://www.carandmotor.gr/sites/default/files/styles/horizontal_rectangle/public/2025-04/aytokollito%20kteo.jpg?itok=sqDarpyR then an online check is following by smartphone or onboard Police interceptor laptop. Also they check for the official black carved stamp if it's on the license plate. Any citizen can check in gov.gr (after Login) for informations about any car (if is on the road or for recycle,original colour,insurance). Same here but not in all patrol cars,especially in the country they haven't yet. When we see a patrol car slowly moving to right lane in Athens with blue light in the same pace as hazard lights then we know that is scanning licence plates of parked cars. Road cameras (around 1388 for start) for Police use started installed from Summer 2025 in Attica,they will used to detect traffic violations (red light-stop sign-use of cellphone-excessive speed etc) and then the fines will show-up to your Revenue Service page.
