Woody77 claybar is much better but for the sake of a single sticker it's a waste of claybar unless your detailing the car too then it's defo worth it.

Hi. There are plenty of options you can play music from USB and memory card with slot of aftermarket stereos. You can have a chat with nearest car audio centre and see what stereo you can have fitted. You don't necessarily have to go for kenwood like everybody else there are some units you can have that are better like pioneer double din with apple car play and android compatible if you wanted to play music via mobile it can make it easier without the use of USB but they also have that option to if you need it. Hope the info is useful to you. Regards Gaz

Hi Kevin, Can you please PM me a picture of what you door light looks like. If they are puddle loghts that are pointing to the floor and after some canbus error free lights, I can certainly supply you them. I just need to determine the bulb type. Do they have a clear cluster or a red cluster on the lights. This is a picture of a range rover sport I had done. I will let you know the price and bulb type once I have a picture from yourself. Although I am 99% sure of the bulb type. Just want to make sure. Kindest regards Gaz@LEDitShine

* troggles. Spell check. My bad

Hi toggles. All depends how often you service your car to be fair. I normally change the oil every 10k miles. Check the brakes to see if they are worn out. The wiper blades & air filter. Just the usual stuff. Get genuine parts from TPS and just pay a local garage just for the labour so he doesn't gave to worry about the parts. Will give you peace of mind to that the parts are genuine and not made by A third party. In relation to the belt I normally change them every 60k. Some say 80k but you can't be to sure about these things. If they go you've had it. Hope that's useful for ya. Gaz

I have read some of the guys complaining that the sticker curls and peels off. Anyway you need to make sure you clean the windscreen properly. Soapy water to clean and just sticking the sticker with a sqigee is not enough. Especially if putting external window stickers on. For best results for long lasting stickers is to clean windscreen with warm soapy water. Then the steps as follows - dry the window - rub your hand over the window and you will feel roughness. - this roughness is all the toxins and contaminations left on the window. This is things like tar dots, dead insects and chemicals from the rain that damage the window as rain carries dust. - get a fine grade wire wool. - rub this on you whole window taking care you don't scratch the paint work. - once you have done the whole window wipe off with a microfibre cloth. - run your hand along the window and it should feel beautiful and smooth like new paint job on a car. - then apply the sticker with warm soapy water if necessary. Remove all bubbles. - once the sticker is dry it will make a perfect seal with the window that the toxins and contaminants are not there to eat away at the sticker - for best results once applied clean and protect your window with rain repellent such as rain-x. - everybody is a winner. I hope you all find this useful. Kindest regards Gaz

Hi All, Just some info for you that will be posted on here to help with the problem with any future sticker or vinyl problems to exterior of windows.

Saying that my furby is lagging a lot. I can hear a flutter noise from the engine especially in first and second gear. Thinking it could be a leaking boost pipe and not my turbo. It's an expensive game isn't it. Mines only just done 41k miles. :(

That doesn't add up for some reason. I had a similar problem but it wasn't my turbo actuator. It was an exhaust sensor on which there are four sensors and one is actually fitted in the turbo and the other three not so far situated on the exhaust. This basically stopped the car working with start stop mode and did not regen. Ask your garage of the fault code on the diagnostic check and see if you can do a bit of research yourself and see if there is a better solution to this. It's sad that happened to you. As long as your ok mate. It can be stressful when cars breakdown miles away from home.

Absolutely rubbish. Took my car for a full service. I told them I had a few problems with the trays under the seat. They just shifted the blame to me cus I'm a driving instructor. They didn't sort it out and said because you adjust the seats the trays fall out of place. The seats are made to be adjusted. If they can't design a under seat carriage that holds trays properly then that's not the customers fault. They left the car dirty and still charged me an extortionate price when I fully know that all they did really was change the oil and wipers. Total waste of time. Never going back there again.

Hi Otaylor38, You prob right. But I'm quite happy with the way it is. When they told me that you kinda take their word for it as they prob do things like that all day. I prob came across someone that didn't want to do anymore work than he needed to. Lazy git. Lol I know for next time and will defo have sound deadening done.

@ fabia55. Cover grill is a good idea. But when you gave two kids to cheuffeur. I even need that little space. Lol

Sorry I didn't take any pic. My phone batt life is crap. Jail broken iphone 5. For some reason I open camera and around 30% batt life the phone just dies on me. Otaylor that's a good price from your local. I remember flicking through max power mags back in the day looking at sound systems. Lol

I got Alpine type R speakers fitted. 17cm. With spacer brackets. There was already some sound deadening in the door so they said I didn't need it. Cus I already had the upgraded stereo sat nav so skoda had put better speakers in. That's what was told anyway. I would have fitted myself but previous posts mentioned drilling them out. Thought stuff that. Lol

Hi, sorry I haven't been on here for a while. It took them just over 3 hours to do the lot. Removal of pillars and door cards. Removal of speakers took a while. After that it was all go. Really impressed with it. I just wanted better speakers to handle a good blast now and then. No amps fitted. They still are nice and very loud. Very crisp. Hope that helps. Otaylor in originally from Derbyshire too. Chesterfield. Which ends are you from ?

All fitted. Watched them do the lot. I never leave my car in hands if a stranger. Lol. Sound clear and crisp. I know some who used to work there so I got them cheaper than normal. Have no amp fitted to them. Just wanted better sound. I use my car for driving tuition so didn't see the point spending more on an amp if it gets damaged with my roof sign in the boot otherwise I would have purchased one without a doubt.

Thanks guys for all your help. I will be paying car audio centre Birmingham a visit about fitting. I have my eyes on Alpine R series speakers & tweeters. Should sound well.

Gizmo is my nickname and own a Fabia Greenline II

I go for the Trek. All round good bike. Good travel on the forks and durability and strength of the frame is solid. I had on myself. But sold mine due to knee injury. But as it's getting better I might buy another one now you got me in the mood of a nice ride. Evans cycles in Birmingham have a good selection. Try also JE James cycles in chesterfield, Derbyshire. My home town. They got awesome bikes there. Maybe the model you after could be cheaper. Good luck and let me know which you get.

Seen local driving instructor with WH05 BSM. Pure genius. Lol

Hi, I have a popped tweeter in my A pillar. Does anybody know the dimensions of the tweeters and also the door speakers so I can upgrade them to some nice aftermarket ones.

Glad to hear it's resolved.

One of my tweeters in the A pillar is popping and really annoying. Does anybody know what the dimensions of the tweeters are so I can upgrade them to some nice aftermarket ones. Also he door speakers too if anybody knows. Could do with the whole speaker system upgrade.

Try resetting to factory settings. Through the options menu. See if that helps. I will look into to see if any other ways to reset.
