[Sandicliffe Skoda (Nottingham).. (formely Farmers)]

Brought a Mk1 Fabia vRS from Sandicliffe Oct 2014,

 

Since then I've been plagued with calls from them reminding me that it needs servicing (No it doesn't - I've already serviced it three times since purchase, and it's due again at Xmas as I've done 39.5k since purchase) and it needed an MOT (Organised that myself)

 

Never had a call after I purchased it to see if I was happy with the car (I was, and still am) - Would have thought that was basic customer service.

 

They won't take no for an answer. No matter how many times I ask them to desist from making calls to me, they just keep calling.....

 

Possibly first and last time I ever go to a main dealer.

[130 Rapid - Poor Brakes Advice]

Another thing to consider is to make sure that if the brakes have been bled, that they've all been bled - on a 130 (Saloon and Rapid) the rear drums and one half of the front 4 pot calipers are on the same circuit - not simply split front and back.

 

I had 6 months of rubbish brakes on Ermintrude until I realised this simple fact......

I'm with Hawkeracing - We didn't run a front ARB on our stage rally cars either.

[Estelle 130GL Upgrade]

Don't recall messing around with the jetting on mine, both on the standard and rally engines,

 

Mileage still over 35mpg in both cases - Of course in this day and age it'd be better rejetted

DGAV is the autochoke version  - DGV is the manual choke,

 

Mine came from the 1.6/2.0 Ford Pinto engine

Hi all,

 

New to this forum but not to Skodas - Rallied Estelles and Favorits between 1988 and 2002 as part of "Team Bouncing Czech" and still have an ex Skoda Trophy 130L now finally being rebuilt following a fire in 2009.

 

On top of that I now have a Fabia vRS as a daily driver, this being Skoda number 10 in my ownership (others being 4 Estelle rally cars, 2 Estelle road cars, 2 Estelle spares cars and 1 Favorit road car)

 

Not sure what else you'd want to know at the moment so I'm off to have a wander round the forum,

 

Catch you later
