byebye rs?
That really wouldn't take a lot to get another years ticket. The other stuff (advisories) can be done over time.

Get any side of the vent from an Octavia and just swap out the fins. 👍🏻

Saying Goodbye to my MK1 VRS Estate
Ah it’s a shame, I hope the estate is taken by your family member. If not, get in contact with me and I might take it off your hands.

Aluminium Replacement Parts (Cooling system)
If they did a black version, I might have considered it. But, as most of these plastic parts have lasted 15 odd years, they haven't done bad! Let us know how you get on fitting all of these.

Which is the Remote cable?
In VAG they're Blue.

Spark plugs
You’ll get a lot of replies. But, a lot is use the NGK spark plugs which are then gapped correctly in accordance to whether you are mapped or not. I change them every 10k or 1 year, which ever comes first. Other will suggest the OEM platinum one that do 20k+ miles.

Full leather seats for mk1 vrs?
As above, the best would be the L&K interior. However, the seats are horrid. If you want decent leather seats, I'd recommend the Recaro Heated Leathers from a MK4 Golf. I ripped out the L&K seats and upgraded.

Headlight Upgrade
I remember trying to tell people this online, but they weren't having it... That was until they ran them at night. 😂

Headlight Upgrade
On a vRS they were a very expensive option. I think they were around an £800 optional extra. And, decent bulbs are around £70-£100 EACH! Mine came factory, but it took forever to find one. As for retrofitting them, yes it can be done and you'll need some loom adaptors from KUFTEC. They're around 60 euros. The xenon units are around £150/£200 for a pair, sometimes more. It's a lot of money to chuck at lights. But, as stated above, you need to check your laws. The cars with xenons auto adjust by leveling sensors on the suspension arms. Without them, you'll end up blinding people with a back end heavy car (if you've got stuff in the boot).

Fabia VRS LE Register Part Trois
Was behind an SE on Sunday in Selsdon, followed it to find an old lady driving it. Reg was KK07 *** (94k miles) - I hope to see it again to leave a note for her, should she wish to sell. Extremely clean.

Possible head gasket issue on my Mk1 Octavia VRS
Already done, as I noticed the title. Correct, there's very little difference in the two. I have all the ratios on my computer, but some people just won't have it and believe in the 6-speed better. I have no idea if the box is stronger to cope with more power, but the AUQ can still output 300lbft... EDIT. Found it -

There seems to be a hell of a lot of SE's for sale currently, I'm counting over 10. Managed to add quite a lot that were missing from the list!

Fabia Mk1 with Factory Sat Nav/Maxidot
I’m amazed how many Fabia’s there are with this spec. Yet, hardly any in the Octavia range.

Octavia estate VRS rear spoiler brake light needed
Ah ok, the hatchback were ‘286 DASHBOARD SMALL CAPLESS WEDGE 12V 1.2W BULBS’, which obviously made life a little more easier. I think you linked them to me a few years back.

Octavia estate VRS rear spoiler brake light needed
Oh, you can get a replacements. To remove the standard Estate light, remove the front top trim panel inside the tailgate then lever the 3 retaining springs and and the catch out of the slots in the tailgate. Next, close the tailgate and pull the light fitting off the tailgate then separate the plug connector. To replace the bulbs, remove the 3 screws from the bulb holder. The bulbs push in. @nige8021 Are they LED’s or bulbs like the hatchback?
