Gear stick gaiter fitment
For factory look no need anything more. That black ring holds the gaiter to stay up,the factory plastic knob is **** (i throw it away in few hours when i bought my Felicia). Cover the plastic frame with gaiter,push gently down and ''click-click'' the job is done. I have done a lot of work in mine (aftermarket gaiter-screws-chrome plate-decoration corde-different knob-patent with a screw to hold it very steady etc), do not mess with the same project,lot of effort-time and extra money.

Gunk behind an engine plug
There is no ''obligation'' to use this oil, buy an engine-flush product use it with a cheap oil and then put a quality one. I can't find that Valvoline here in GR too. We have a topic for Felicia engine oils: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/129452-felicia-combi-13-what-oil/page/5/

Valve adjustment - where/how to rotate the crankshaft?
If you have Neutral in gear i don't think is needed.

Front seats have limited rear movement
My brother has the same attitude but usually the end is bad because he destroys the item that he pushes to fit. 😆 I asked you about aftermarket seats because sometimes an elastic strap or a S hook blocks the rail.

Front seats have limited rear movement
As Bruce McLaren was saying ''hit it'' (when something refuse to fit).

Parking lights 5W5 bulbs need adjustment?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThe ''dark area" is factory, not artificial. I have seen in the past ''crystal clear'' aftermarket lights in CZ stores.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanStrong reverse light helps the camera too in some situations as very dark area-light rain-fog etc. With the factory mirror parking in cases like these was a nightmare and 2 times i have crushed my rear lights pastic cover (one in a wall and one in a trash (garbage) bin handle which was metallic, nowadays are plastic. P21W i think is the code for Felicia. CarCareKioskReverse Light Replacement 1997 Skoda Felicia LXi 1.3L 4 Cyl.

Parking lights 5W5 bulbs need adjustment?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAs for the record: i had changed the Halogen bulbs for Reverse with cheap Led, due to price or the design of the plastic cover they didn't work good. Mediocre illumination so i install back the original.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanYes and Yes (for third time i post it). Red led bulds (for brakes) removed after few months and amber led bulbs (indicators) are still in use for about 8 years.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAs i have said I have done it, didn't worked (not so bright). I have done it, perfect result super bright but they blink faster due to relay lack. Life-saver in emergency situations (e.g stopped after a turn).

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI remembered Antzela Demetriou about the EU ''well, now we could go for shopping dresses in the foreign stores" (outside GR), so all these years before EU that was her main problem? As for ''Free travel'' ask the people in North GR for the buses with Bulgarians full of beggars-thieves and in the end of the day return back with pockets ''full". You were unborn where the people (Pasok) that put us in the EU were screaming hysterical against it but when they learn that the whole case has a lot of money (grants) they signed with both hands and became reach in a year. As for my extra light are these:

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanWe don't want EU (nor the ΙΜF),we never did but politicians decide for it without asking us. EU tries to alter our society bringing other ways of life to ruin the institution of the Family, to change our Race our customs and religion, to falsify our history and our traditions, to make us dependent on the USA and to make us give money to neo-Nazi Ukrainians. Led red bulbs instead of standard halogen, the led never worked so good (brightness) due to the old design on the plastic glass.

Felicia estate 5th door seal saga....
Μe working in the street risking an injury from cars passing close by. .............................. @TonyW1967 6 years ego i have changed mine. The mechanic said that not only the quality of the seal counts but most of all the quality of the ''macaroni'' (that special adhesive stripe).

Suspension strut brace?
Skoda back then had it as accessory in the Sport parts cataloque, i have it my house. Mine isn't black but aluminium colour and different design, very helpful in turns (Sport style driving in Mountain roads). https://www.briskoda.net/forums/uploads/monthly_2021_03/IMG_20200104_094254.jpg.60157555fc4e63de408f744c183b40ae.jpg

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI have no intention to travel in the EU with my Felicia, i know that Traffic Police will stop me. I have in side indicator (orange) super bright,very visible at night and saviour in corners but they need a relay otherwise they ''click'' faster than factory ones. In Brake lights i have tested but didn't worked so good and removed them (the design of the plastic cover is old and halogen bulbs work better).

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAlso what you call ''hazard lights" we call them ''Alarm''. 😊 The extra led bulb isn't something strong so does not create problems (blur) to other drivers although the cover is plastic, just shows one click better than another car comes from corner. In City dark small roads in low speed helps a lot, no gain in Highways or Mountain roads.
