Probably the worst example of a VRS i've seen.

Looks great mate, makes me sort of wish i had a silver car now.

When I was working in Glasgow I think I was the only one trying to avoid the parts of he road that either had disintegrated or they had simply forgot to build - Lewis must be bad if you can't wait for the roads of Glasgow!

Its probably a bit of a placebo as some people say it makes a difference while others don't notice any change. Prob depends on your driving style too I would guess.

Just put 2x Toyo Proxys T1R's on the front for £79 each fitted. Only done 7 mile in them but they look pretty good.

clungewagon = classic quote from the inbetweeners.

Yeah good spot.....should of been 34

Just ordered a pair of Toyo T1R's - a few people on here rate them and will try out 34psi / 32psi front and back to see what difference it makes. Cheers for the replies.

Both front tyres are badly in need of replacing as on both tyres the inside and outside part of the tread have turned to slicks. I've read through a few posts about when the bushes go it can wear one side but this is happening to both sides on both tyres. Tyres are inflated to the pressure indicated in the fuel flap and i normally check it every week. When I got the car the bushes had to be replaced at 50 something thousand miles but now i'm on 69k so I doubt they could of gone again? There is no creaking but could knackered bushes cause this type of wear? The tyres are Nangkang NS2's I think 205/45/R16's. Cheers

Think mine was somewhere in between £40 - £45. Dads mate has his own garage and that was a service according to VAG and book stamped too! This thread just reminded me that i'm due another service.

Exactly the same thing happened to me; checked oil and its fine, car just had a service about 3k miles ago so I just reset it using the manual.

Jesus H Christ thats giving them a license to print money. I'm knocking on a bit these days, 27 with full no claims, no points and insured for £300.

I saw that - i fecking ****ed myself, i can imagine a few of the **** mobiles down maccy d's might be interested in these haha

Diesel Power by the Prodigy; even better if you happen to have a Diesel car!

From my understanding I think he has already had the work carried out so all this is a bit of a hindsight, he'll know next time though! You don't need to take your car to a main dealer for servicing, and VAT registered garage using VAG approved parts can service your car and if you still have a warrenty it will still be valid - so long as everything that should be serviced is.

I went to a independent motor supplies place and got a few packs of mixed fuses, i think they were £3 for 15 i think or something like that - pocket change - get a few packs and keep them in your car along with a flat edged screw driver (for getting into the fuse panel). Make sure you get the mini blade fuses because i got the normal ones and had to go back and swap them (mini ones were cheaper then the normal siuzed ones ) I printed out VRS Stu's (Fabia-vrs.com - Home Page) fuse diagram too and also keep that in the car and it is fuse 15 that blows when its nippy outside.

That sounds like a serious fault :eek:.....................nah only kidding mine does that and always has.

Turns out mine was a resisitor on the stalk or behind the stalk, i wasn't really paying attention but they worked when i picked car up. Thing is though when i started it up everything was fine, then i tested the wipers, yep ok then i thought lets try the washers and everything went dark. Car was still running but interior lights including dash had all gone dark so I switched it off and turned the ignition back on and everything came back on except that it wouldn't start. The battery seemed like it was dead, managed to jump start it from my dads car and drove it about for a few hours (during which the wipers failed) and this morning it was fine, took it to a garage to get the battery tested and it came back as ok except the wipers but the fuse had blown its all good fun.

I am still tempted by one but xmas has me rooked so it will have to be next year. If anyone wants to carry this forward I would gladly give the details over but I got Whitelines email address from their website.

Just phoned local Skoda dealer and they have had 10 in today with same problem Hopefully thats all mine is!

But why would frozzed water in screenwash stop the wipers from working? Is the water bottle not heated or is that just the jets? Did anyone have this problem last year?

Are your wipers working now McS****y? Strange how they stopped even if it was only the water that froze though. Haven't checked to see if I have a fuse in 21, car is at garage so will have a look in tonight to see if was the same issue you were having.
