Just asking fellow Skoda drivers from the North West did you ever use Horners in Manchester before they went bump??????? Did you have any problems with them??? Where do you buy skoda parts from now they are gone??

Hi, I got some great advice on hear a while ago about tyres and I swear by it.Had my Occy Vrs since new (2001) After using Goodyears and continentals and going through them like wild fire ,I was told about Nokian tyres, a finnish tyre. They have been absolutely superb,good grip and lasted longer then my previous tyres,I bought them from My tyres online then got them fitted at a independant tyre fitter, this worked out cheaper aswell.....just putting my 2 penneth in

Thanks very much chaps for your replies. I have know found the problem, it seems that I have crushed a metal cover that protects the control arm behind the offside wheel where the plastic cover ends. I had to use a little brute strength to bend it back to position and stop the metal rubbing with metal. I do know it's the last time I am going to park on the kurb. . So thanks alot chaps:thumbup:

I bought it as a WRC COPY,from a company in Poland via ebay,then sprayed it up myself. Cheers for your comments:thumbup: Its similar to one in the Milotec catalogue

Here's my pics of my baby- Pretty standard in comparison

Yesterday I had to park my car on top of a kerbed area,due to seriously lack of parking when taken my son to play an away footy match.At the end of the match trying to get off the kurb my offside front wheel slipped off the kerb with a thud! When I got home I had a check out and couldn't find nowt wrong APART FROM SCUFFED PLASTIC COVER ON UNDERSIDE OF CAR. Today I have noticed a terrible annoying squeaking sound from offside front of my car,but only when I break or turn which puts pressure on my front suspension. Anyone any ideas of what it can be? Would be most grateful for any suggestions Cheers .

51 Plate Vrs ,just reached 50000 miles ,been absolute dream ,been really impressed.

hI Arnold- Had the same mirror smashed to peices on my driveway by some nice bunch of drunken *%&$

Thanks very much chaps for your reply's,they have been a real help. They rang this afternoon to say it was ready,we will see tommorrow.Fingers crossed

Hi ,yeh it might help, took my Vrs in fot its 50k service and toothbelt change,the next thing I'm told there was a delay and was given a courtesy car. 2 days on I'M told that they received a faulty part (some kind a tension cog I think),which was put on and then tried ,which obviously failed and they said they had to inspect inside the cylinder head to see if there was any damage inside , following that the inspection revealed that 2 or 4 of my valves were bent(at this point my **** fell out) .Which I am now waiting to be repaired. I am now worried that it won't perform like before .

HAS any of you had a problem with main dealer,when having toothed cambelt change. Coz I'M HAVING A LIVING NIGHTMARE!
