  1. The coil light is the glow plug light. It appears that a new battery was long overdue and now the car is running as it should.
  2. You're relying on the computer figures. Ignore them. Full tank to full tank is the only reliable way to work out MPG.
  3. Written off a Fabia vRS at 20 years of age.Nice work.The insurance companies will be falling over themselves to do business with you.
  4. What's the point? Apart from any excuse to arse about.
  5. Today I replaced the old tax disc from 12 months ago with the new one I bought online last week,only to find that last year's disc cost £120 and this year's set me back £110! Since when has the cost of taxing a car gone down? I'm not complaining,but it does seem odd.
  6. Is the roof aerial the standard 12" long model that works,or a short stubby aerial or fin that looks "kewl" but doesn't work as an aerial. Form over function every time for the kiddies.
  7. DO NOT USE ENGINE FLUSH. Not in a PD engine. Not ever.Never. Did I say not to use engine flush? Use oil to 505.01 spec,change every 10k miles or 12 months whichever happens sooner. You can change it more often,if the voices in your head tell you,but always use 505.01 spec. And NEVER use engine flush.
  8. I think the problem could be with the tyres.Camac are firmly in the "cheap and nasty" end of the tyre quality spectrum. The contact patch is the only interface between the road and the car and the temptation to spend less really is a false economy. I swear by Michelin,but doubtless there will be many who will have their own favourites.
  9. 1984-1989 77/S Escort 1.3L 1989-1991 85/C Escort 1.6GL 1991-1993 89/F Astramax 1.7D 1993-1997 93/L VW Transporter 2.5D 1997- 2000 97/P VW LT 2.5TD 2000-2006 94/L VW Vento TD 2006-now 04/04 Skoda Fabia vRS My garage has a revolving door.As you can see,I get bored very easily.
  10. Soon there will be folk buying this chrome stuff,then wanting to colour code it.That would be kewl.
