ok.
1:Urban: 30% Rural lanes: 70%
2: Approx 13 stone including driver
3: Mostly 5th gear when possible, but also upper rev range of 3rd and 4th to overtake and to get to speed

Average mpg on last three tankfulls of petrol 44.8 mpg.
-
Rear wiper motor fixed. Turns out it was a sticking brush. Easy fix.

I'm looking to bypass or remove it as my immobiliser keys are worn and replacements are unavailable and reprogramming them is not possible due to their age.
-
If anyone has the guide they could pm me I'd be grateful. I have a 1995 Favorit with the immobiliser that has the seperate key, and the contacts on the immobiliser key are pretty worn.
Any advice as to how to get rid of it, or how to refresh the contacts on the key would be great.
Thanks!

New tailgate struts only £20 delivered on eBay.
Just had a pair myself, made by magneti marelli. I believe they are interchangeable with the Felicia.

Cleaned the seal on the sunroof as you said. Seems to 'not leak' at the moment!
Also got the rear light unit replaced.
Put the 2 front tyres (fairly new-ish) on the back, and replaced the other 2 with new tyres on the front. All four balanced and tracking done. Car now drives beautifully, no vibrations, no pulling to the side.
Also replaced 2 of the exhaust hanger rubbers which has got rid of the annoying 'clunk' as the exhaust middle box hit the car floor.
All in all I'm very impressed with it as a little car. Very economical too.

Ok, got the rear light sorted.
Now I'm looking for a steering wheel boss to suit a mountney steering wheel or similar? Any one got one for sale?
-
Better view of underside of car.
-
Still looking for one of these tail lamp units. If you have one, please let me know!
-
No it didn't. It was simply looked after by an old gent.
-
Pretty clean underneath, for a twenty year old motor.

Can we see the torch please? I'm well impressed with that. The modern Škodas have that too but my Felicia hasn't. Why didn't they keep that, seems such a good idea. I want a Favorit now.
Sure. It's attached via a basic (but looks to be made to measure) bracket in the near side of the boot. Possibly a (UK) optional extra?
-
I thought it looked a bit bulky for a carb... Lol.

Been for a long drive today, car seems OK. Some vibration through the steering wheel, and some drips coming in through the sunroof, comes in just in front of the interior light. Simple fixes I hope.
The toolkit looks completely unused, but am baffled as to what the two rubber straps in the photo are for?
Also have the neat boot light that doubles up as a torch, only found it today!
Also checked the carb, looks clean to me.

Bingo. It was obvious really! Thanks for that!
Do you know if it is supposed to light up when sidelights are on? Mine doesn't!

Just bought a Favorit yesterday, some quick photos of it for you to see. I may need a few bits to get it 'up to scratch' - I'm looking for a read light unit - smoked/tinted type, right hand side, and also a door rubbing strip, driver's door. If you can help, please let me know.
Also, how do I set the 'TESLA' digital clock near the rear view mirror? No sign of any buttons on it!?
Thanks

The digital clock seems to have no buttons, it's a 'TESLA' one. Any ideas where the setting buttons would be?
Many thanks

Just got a favorit today - GLXiE Flairline 1300.
Only questions I have after a 60 mile drive, bringing it home, are:
Where can I get a replacement offside (drivers side) rear smoked lamp unit?
Where can i find the knob that controls the headlamp height?
How do I set the digital clock that's mounted near the rear view mirror?
How do I turn the rear wiper on?
Going to give it a full service soon - engine and transaxle oils, all filters, plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm.
Am guessing a plain 15w40 oil is ok for the engine, what about the transaxle?
Is there an online link to an owners' manual?
Thanks in anticipation!

That's the plan.

Hi, just bought a favorit, wanted to escape the clutches of expensive and complicated cars and fancied some back to basics motoring for a while.
Picked up a low milage Favorit GLXiE.
Not going to win any awards in it, but so far so good.
Hope to pick up some tips and answers to questions on here as I go about improving the car a little.
