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.

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

I live in Durham and I'd be interested in having cruise fitted! :-)

I do pop into Cineworld/Asda at Boldon often on the way home from work at around 7pm. However I was there a couple of weeks back around 2pm to see Die Hard There was another black vrs in our car park the other day, I didnt recognise it.

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

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.

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:

Well after reading this thread I ordered the SEAT foam noise thingy and I have to say its made a pretty noticable difference. Rich

It is at that ! however.. everyone keeps saying good things about it so why not Does anyone know if it will fit a non PD 1.9 from an 02 Octy ? rich

I've just ordered one from VAGParts should be here in the next couple of days

Both rear doors leaked quite badly. Fixed under warranty by Philip Wilks Skoda.

I had Toyos fitting to mine a month or so ago.

I've just had my 20,000 mile done, it cost

Just had my 20,000 mile service done here. Spot on. Car was ready on time, and they charged me less than what they had originally quoted ! Very pleased, will use them again !

Thankfully I'm well past the end of the one year contract and I've got a full sky package so it would be daft not to take advantage of their offer. Plus I did manage to get Sky half price for a year

Tell me about it... I've suddernly started getting 50+ dodgy emails a day since this started ! I'm just waiting for one of my mates to get Sky 16Mb Broadband, so I can have a play and see if its worth changing

Hello from glorious Spennymoor Just wait until you've ran it for a good few thousand miles. Mine is just about to have its second service @ 20,000 and its getting rather rapid

Best place I know of is Merlin at Pity Me in Durham, they're not cheap and they often have a waiting list but the standard of work is top drawer. Can't really say about anyone in Newcastle

I've fitted a custom stealth shelf loaded with Infinity Kappas which are powered from an infinity amp, and I can say... money well spent!

I was well impressed, there was 3 lads working on the job as I got to the garage very close to closing time For the record... EDMAR Tyres in Spennymoor big thumbs up

I've just had four Toyo Proxes T1-Rs fitted for

I believe so. I didnt really want to attach anything to the seat belt bolts. So far no problems / buzzing etc. Rich
