I often see motorists with fogs on when there is no need to..
"Could they be getting the condensation of the lenses..:confused: "
Joking about pretending to be a volvo driver:O ....one of my pet hates is missuse of lights, conversely in the winter time I'm amazed at the number of people who don't use lights when they need to:eek: Perhaps they are using night vision goggles:rolleyes:
Condensation is still there, funnily enough one of friends has the same problem with his Audi A3 but on the rear light cluster - he said same as Mil - no biggie!
-
Hmn...thought about that but with these light nights haven't been anywhere to have headlights on!
Perhaps I should leave them on the way home and pretend to be a volvo driver;)
Thanks for speedy reply will see how it goes:thumbup:

Hi Folks,
When about to get into my Fabia for the daily commute, noticed that my passenger headlight unit had condensation about 3/4 across it. Nothing in the other unit.
Is it any thing to worry about or need to get checked, or anyone have a 'cure' so to speak?
Ta very much!:confused:

25 k on OE Firestones on Fabia 1.4 8v, just changed fronts courtesy of nice pot hole puncture!
Backs still 5mm tread no other faults.
Don't drive like a Granny but lots of stop-starts on my commute.

Airbag warning light just come on again in my Fabia Comfort, so off to dealers to get it looked at for the second time!
1st time the sensor had worked loose so not actually an airbag failure as such - I blame the crap roads (more like crators ) of Sheffield I drive on probably shaken it loose again!
Think I'll buy a tank for my commute!

See the government has a new program out to re train all white van drivers apparantly (Alistair Darling,the weird transport minister? was on about it today)
Retrain as what?
Another job that's completely different or as a decent white van man:eek:
Just to prove I'm not biased I watched two white van men today on the way to work who were stuck in the same jam as myself and they both let cars waitng at the junction to merge into the flow of the traffic, didn't jump lights or cut people up:thumbup:
-
That was me you cut up you absolute f
-
whats the chances of that van man acually bein a member on here??? lol
I'd say slight!:P
It was a company white van with one of those 'hows my driving' stickers on the back, could have rung the number I suppose, but I'd alerady got my revenge, so I left it....
-
My humble apologies to the white van man who I 'cut up' this morning......it really made you sick that someone had done that to you didn't it......but you see you were a bit silly really showing everyone your 'superb' driving skills this morning and for once I thought sod it an 'eye for an eye'......
I hasten to add I generally don't drive around like a t*t having been a bad smash a few years ago, but just for a change I thought I'd rebel!

Only found out about Richard this morning reading one of my work colleaques 'Guardian' newspaper.
Came as a bit of shock I must admit, 34 is no age to go.
Like you all my thoughts are with his nearest and dearest.

Have had my mobile and same no for the past 5 years, Mitsubishi Trium got it for a holiday in Scotland when Vodafone were the only ones who covered the area I was staying in.
It's a decent enough phone, sends and recieves texts, has a little game on it where a penguin shoves blocks of ice into holes
I dont want it too be all singing and all dancing, and 'hoodies' don't want to nick it off me!

SWMBO's Polo has the same feature too - possibly a VAG feature across the fabia/Polo/Ibiza range?
-
Welcome from someone who resides in said republic!
-
Welcome to the ever expanding SKODA clan!
:cheers: -
Fabia 1.4 Comfort here which I've finished paying for today - yippee!
I'm rich until SWMBO finds out and remembers!

my three year old answered "we went to the fast car place mummy"
....out of the mouths of babes!

Might be worth having your garage have a look at the anti roll bars and having the front suspension bushes uprated -that's what it turned out to be on my 4year old 1.4 Fabia Comfort.
-
Obviously didn't check out the suspension then :eek:
My Fabia 1.4 Comfort creaks and groans like mad!
I blame all the bl**dy speed bumps that have sprung like warts on a toads back!

Just read this in our local newspaper over the weekend
"VW Fox to be released 2006 to replace existing Lupo, 3 engine varients,
1.2 54bhp & 1.4 73bhp petrol, and one diesel 1.4 TDI 73 bhp.
Car will be slightly longer than existing Lupo but 8cm shorter than current Polo"
I know in the past SEAT used the same Lupo platform for the Arosa, anyone know if the new Fox platform will be shared out with SEAT and/or Skoda?
Google didn't throw up any more info. :confused:
See piccie

Avoid the Philips range like the plague! I speak from bad personal experience!
I had 3 seperate machines from them - all duff :eek:
Ended up buying Panasonic from my local Richer Sounds branch - no problems since and staff have been excellent, nothing too much trouble
Brother in law also has new Panasonic machine, he's pleased with it too

Ok query about Fabia suspension noise.
When driving along on some roads the car creaks and groans something awful but it doesn't do it all the time.Also sometimes you get a loud bang, like you've run over something horrendous but theres nothing there!
The car itself is 2000 plate so out of warrenty, so no luck there.
Is it expensive to sort out/
:eek:
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
-
I use 'Britannia Rescue' myself never let me down yet, reasonable cost and you get discount if you work for the Civil Services or NHS, or are a member of Unison.
-
Aaah yes the 'A' class wasn't that the one that tipped over when driving through the slalom road cones test when it's emergency cornering!?
-
The Octavia has a better quality interior than the Leon IMHO.
....True but less of a stigma attached to it! :(
Do you see your old car about?

Still see my previous Skoda Felicia LXI plus near to where I work, and have been alongside it whilst sat waiting to go onto a round about.
It's still in good nick - made me wonder why I part exed it!
But my Fabia Comfort is better, though still have soft spot for Felicias!
