To SE or not to SE? That is the question.
WilliamVRS897 replied to Ryan90VRS's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
If you're upgrading to bigger brakes just get everything new. Maybe carriers second hand if you're on a budget. But the price people ask for second hand calipers are pretty bad I think when you can get new/reconditioned ones for the same price -
opinions on ram air cone filters
WilliamVRS897 replied to soul snatcher24's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
I know it's not exactly what you're asking, but cone filters aren't the best in my opinion. Especially when compared to a good panel filter. Cone filters sit right next to a warm engine absorbing a lot of the heat, when they run best with cold air hence FMIC's etc.. -
What did you learn to drive / ride on?
WilliamVRS897 replied to Aspman's topic in General Automotive Chat
This sounds exactly like my dad lol, feels to old for a sports bike so wants a naked one.Keep telling him you're only as old as you feel haha -

WilliamVRS897 replied to Aspman's topic in General Automotive Chat
My dad and his mate were forever going out on the bikes (fireblade and ninja), and he plans on getting another one soon so that is giving me a bit more motivation just to go and get it done! -
This may well be the main reason for it then! After I posted I also remembered about the 7 year warranty with Hyundai/Kia which also may be a key factor. That and they aren't all that bad to be fair!
-
This sounds like a lot less stress at least than having to deal with people who cannot drive at all lol

Sadly haven't got my bike license yet, although I plan on doing it soon. Raced quads all round Scotland for good few years though -

WilliamVRS897 replied to Aspman's topic in General Automotive Chat
I like hearing all the old cars that people passed in from a good few years back lol I passed in 2009 with a MK6.5 2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4 which, at the time, I thought was a great car to drive. However I actually learned to drive a few years before I passed in my dad's X5 which was decent! -
Fords usually are the run of the mill learner car I've found until recently (obviously there were other common learner cars too). I seem to notice a lot of Hyundai i30's also now, don't know if there is a particular reason for that or not.. Smaller cars with smaller engines though imo are probably the best for learners to start off in. Although I still like the sound of Sharkrider's fabia

You're a braver man than me letting learners drive that lol
-
It is definitely a great advert for your company if you have a car that is appealing to youngsters
-
An actual learner company lol I've seen the odd Impreza hatchback version also, most likely the non turbo or the diesel version though. MK2 Fabia Monte Carlo sounds like a decent learner car too!
-
Was out on a test drive with a customer the other day, and I seen a silver MK1 Skoda Fabia VRS as a learner car lol! I have seen a few other strange learner cars in the past year or so, just wondering what some of the weirdest ones other people have seen?

Richard's mk1 Fabia thread. (Yes, I have a mk1 Fabia problem...)
WilliamVRS897 replied to BossFox's topic in Fabia Projects
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251785404572 This one could've been resurrected by Richard I think lol -
Think I'd either go for Leon Cupra 20V or just the newer FR. Most likely the FR for the fuel economy lol

Fabia1.9 diesel just cranks won't start
WilliamVRS897 replied to kez101010's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Most VAG diesels prime when you open the drivers door, you usually then hear the system priming. Which means no need for ignition on and off 10 times. Hope you get this problem fixed soon either way -
Columbus Unit - whirring noise after ignition keys removed.
WilliamVRS897 replied to Skodadrivingamerican's topic in Scotland
You find a lot of VAG's do this and some do it for a while as said above for anything between a few seconds to 10-15 minutes. Should be fine mate -
1st gear creep with clutch fully depressed
WilliamVRS897 replied to MicG1989's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
This isn't actually a bad design. It's just because it's a concentric slave cylinder which is used as the release bearing too. It actually works really well on most cars, the only downside is that it's a gearbox out to change but they don't regularly fail. -
Lowering car with under tray..
WilliamVRS897 replied to WilliamVRS897's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Aye that's fine mate I'll come over on Saturday at some point then cheers -
Lowering car with under tray..
WilliamVRS897 replied to WilliamVRS897's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Cheers lads, what time you finished tomorrow Davie? I'm finished at half 4 so if you're still in at that time I'll pop round -
Looking at lowering my Fabia in the near future, just wondering if everyone that's lowered theirs has removed the under tray because the under tray itself seems to sit pretty low as well as the inner wheel arches that screw on to it. If anyone can let me know what they did that would be great, cheers.

Received the calendar today, looks awesome cheers!

I thought the fantasy green Fabia's were horrible before joining here, but they do have a very strange appeal lol! -

Seems as though there's no messing about stripping the Corrado then lol
