FoxFabVrs

Good day, Mrs dropped me of in the town lastnite, she also decided my vrs would like £15 worth of petrol. She has quickly broke down at the bottom of Dundas St :( Anyone around that can come turn my intank lift pump up so I can pump the petrol out and fill it with diesel? Contact me on 07974 853 313, I'm at the car now with me Seat ODIS tool but it ain't letting me access the menu to blend the fuel system :( Any help would be appreciated

Hapnin guys, Been on the forum for a while now, been enjoying reading the build threads etc.... The place is decent, plenty modding hints and tips to be picked up Noticed there wasn't any like minded individuals meeting on the regular up here and wondered if there was anyone who is keen? Brighter nights and all mean the Mrs's will let you out longer Anyone up for getting something organised?

If your still looking for a fair MOT done correctly at a decent price head to McGregors MOT Centre on Steads Place just off Leith Walk. £30 MOT, very fair and the service is second to none. I've been in the trade now for 10 years, always take my 'homers' there for test. If you need repairs they are fairly priced to, but you have that covered. Good luck for MOT

Recently bought a 06 plate from my work as a trade in. Was from a guy on Lochend Road. Thought it may have been yours but turns out it isn't! I'm fitting the cruise control mod next weekend if it arrives in time so would be looking for you to turn it on sometime in the next couple of weeks? If it suits you? What other things can I unlock out off interest?

I could also do with coming to meet you guys, would like to find out what 'extras' I can unlock ???

Don't think im to far from you, are you about tonight?

Fitted the PSB's todat, front and back bushes, 2 X new drop links, 2 X ARB bushes and new TRE's. Away to get the tracking done just now

Simple enough job if your useful with your paws! Not being cheeky but if you can't replace a brake caliper then leave the cable to someone who knows how Become friends with a mechanic!!

Went for the PSB, iv seen the state off a lot off the older ibiza's that come into the garage. Don't fancy changing them every year or so, so hopefully they will do the trick with no squeaks!! TMB... Those bushes are very similar to OEM parts, are the poly or similar to 'normal' rubber?

Thanks guys, all the info is good knowledge. Cupra R bushes 1K0 407 183 E come in at £11.40 each, not to bad. Pair of PSB rears for £25. Not much diffo in price, now just personal preference I think? Will update on the route I go. Both sets can be here in a couple of days Again, cheers guys for all the input, much appreciated

You still got these?

Well that's definitely something to think about, will speak to the parts dept tomorrow and get a price for them. Can't see them being to much. Cheers for the input guys Nick

Did you apply the grease as suggested or slip them in dry? Defo one off the main reasons for upgrading here is to stop the dreaded speed bump squeak! ARB bushes are also being replaced to cover all bases.

You got a link to where you got them??

Spoke to a fine gent at PSB, will supply 2 x front and 2 x rear wishbone bushes for roughly £45 delivered. Can't complain really. Has anyone got experience of both the PSB and Powerflex? Would be good to compare. http://psbushings.com/wp-content/uploads/Skoda-Fabia-MK1.pdf Hutchy, I'm a tech at a Seat main dealer. What makes you like the Cupra bushes better? Better feel or...???

Cheers Hutchy, just mailed the company direct just now. Hopefully have them by the weekend

Hutchy, you got a link for them??

Wow just seen its pos to get power flex bushes for £25?? Where can I get these for that price? Cheapest I have found is £67 from Amazon. Could you point me in the right direction?

Sounds like a nice drive down from Edinburgh trip with a purpose!

Will see if another post appears

Just bought a mk 1 vrs, looking to meet some like minded people who could point me in the way off some tastefull mods and just general maintenance things to look out for. You organise a regular meet??
