Trustworthy garage in the north east?
DickyHillary replied to Hofmiester's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
There is now a VAG Independant in spennymoor and the guys are Audi Master Techs. Shame I only found this out after I sold my Beloved VRS :( -
I had a set of Bosch AR533S from Wiperblades and they were great, miles better than the OEM Skoda ones.

Sedgefield Motor Co - Stockton-on-Tees..
DickyHillary replied to DGW's topic in Skoda Dealers - North East
Well it honestly sounds like everyone had the same experience as myself... I even spent an hour there one time arguing that the radio booster was required for the radio to work properly on an aftermarket HU ! I never went back after that...and tbh totally spoiled my skoda experience.... I've now left the fold and own a Saab! -

I second that, Cliff is a cracker.. Cliff sold me my Fabia VRS. He used to work at a ford dealer in St. Helens Auckland.. only left them when the owner sold up and closed the dealership. I've had a couple of warranty jobs done by them and tbh I wasnt convinced. Rich -

You may see me blasting about... I live in Spennymoor and work in Cobalt Park Newcastle 55 Plate Silver Fabia VRS as for exhausts I'm not sure, you could try EDMAR in Spennymoor they may be able to help you out, or at least try to flog you a set of Toyos :P Rich -
Speakers for a Furby VRS
DickyHillary replied to DickyHillary's topic in Audio, Electronics and Security
Simon thats the route I took, as boot space is important for me. The only problem I encountered was the speakers that I choose (Inifinty Kappas) were 2ohms and required an amp to drive them. I am extremely pleased with the sound that the system produces, esp as I found a switch on the amp which has effectively turned the 6x9s into poor mans subs. -
Speakers for a Furby VRS
DickyHillary replied to DickyHillary's topic in Audio, Electronics and Security
Hi Simon, I just bought the adapters from CAD at the same times as my HU however you can also pick them up from halfrauds! The tweeters do fit behind the covers perfectly, just need a little blob of glue to hold them nice and tight. I broke on of my covers due to being a big too rough when clipping it all back together, so I've trimmed one of them with black speaker cloth and I have to say it looks OK, just need to find the time to trim the other side. Hope that helps Rich -
After reading this thread I ordered a set of Aerotwins from WiperBlades and I have to say they're brill, well worth it esp at the moment! oh guess what ... its raining again ! :thumbdwn:
