They actually came with big circlip like things to hold on the exhaust hangers. There may be some in the box of goodies when you get it...

Of course, I was forgetting about that aspect entirely.🤦🏻‍♂️

A set of brake pads are included in the stuff I have for you which will get to you eventually! Great work as always though. I'm sure that sill end won't be as much of a challenge as the windscreen aperture. Plus it doesn't have to be too neat! Keep it going, you're nearly there.😁

The "Genuine" brand sold by TPS is Quantum.

That'll be because it's a "commercial" probably. I had that problem when I had mine. Couldn't transfer any No Claims on to it either, had to start from scratch. Thankfully it wasn't too expensive then.

The controls are really very good to reach on the Felicias. You shouldn't have any trouble other than having to look at the screen.

That's a great lot of work you've gotten done there Cat! Looking great. Might not feel like it to you but it is. Keep it up! 😁

Great work! I used parachord that my Dad came with, it was a decent thickness.

That's no bother at all. Yeah mine are the same. I'm sending one to the wheel shop next week for straightening and refurbishment. The other three will be done sometime.

The Gemini rims do protrude quite a bit past the sidewalls of the tyres, even with tyres with supposed rim protection. Unfortunately you just have to live with it and drive very carefully or change your rims for ones that don't stick out so much.

You could swap coil packs around to see if the fault moves. These cars do sometimes eat their packs and plugs I believe.

Are you able to get or have you had a fault code reading done again now that that's all been checked? The injectors might well not be running correctly but as @sepulchrave suggested, it will most likely be because of a fault elsewhere throwing them off. You could also get the values from them read while the diagnostic reader is plugged in. That might give more clues.

Wheel arch liners cost money don't you know! 😄 Skoda weren't allowed to play with them until the Octavia Mk 1 came along anyway.

Looks good.😁

Ah ok yeah. That would be a good idea too. As for the key, the less actual bending of it you have to do, the better as I sure you know. Just give it the blade a nip in the vice jaws along the length of the blade up to the plastic, not tight enough to mark the surface but enough to straighten and even if it's not 100% straight it should still work better.
