Any skoda mechanics in the Birmingham area? thanks

thanks for that. Haven't got time to do it myself at the moment.

How much does it cost fit one of these CV joints? Anyone in the Birmingham area who would be able to do this? Thanks

ok, it sounds like the cv joint has gone, as the clicking/clunking noise disappears when driving in a straight line, and when turning but foot off the accelerator pedal. However, as all the rubber boots are still intact, how do i know which one has gone? How much would it cost to fit a cv joint? Are they easy to do? Can it be DIY job? Thanks

Update: - Have checked the rubber boots and they all seem ok, (No tears, and no sign of grease sprayed all over the place). Could the CV joint still have failed with the rubber boots all intact? The noise isn't there when driving in a straight line. thanks

Is it possible to attach sound files to these posts, so that u guys can here the noise? thanks

Hi everyone Got a few questions about CV (constant velocity joints):- 1) How long (in mileage terms) would you expect CV joints to last? 2) What causes them to fail? 3) What would be the symptoms of a failed or failing CV joint? 4) Would it cause a MOT failure? 5) How much would they cost to replace? and would you need to do both at the same time? Thanks in advance

no problems thanks again

It was the fuse. Thanks again.

Hi FYI It was the fuse. Thanks to everyone for reading and replying to both my posts. F

Hiya My clock seems to have stopped working. ie the one that tells the time. Anyone had this before. It's the big round one with the traditional clock face and the hands. Was working ok before. Now just stuck in one place, and won't budge forwards or backwards, for no apparent reason. Thanks F PS

Where is the fuse for the clock please? thanks

I thought these engines had self adjusting valve clearances. That is the hydraulic ones that do not require adjustment?
