country flora by geof worrall, on Flickr just one more mile to go...i think

room with a view This isnt Venice, by the way

yes no 1...i pushed up the lock/latch to clean it with a spray cleaner...i thought it was sticking as the door at times was hard to open i really panicked as it was getting late and i was tired...and thought it might be a case of taking off the door trim.. the car was in the drive and the door not closing...had to get it into the garage so i got in and knew i would have to hold the door tight against the locked latch i pulled the door opener to do this and the thing was released....thats why i felt so stupid and relieved the door opens ok now... thanks for asking cheers geof

my drivers door was a bit sticky to open so i was using some ptfe spray to clean and lubricate the moveable parts i pushed the one that clicks over the car anchorage up a bit too far it seems as it wont come down... how can i do this to get the door to close... i leave the key in the ignition to stop the alarm going off and the car is in the garage overnight... hope somebody can help...soon. dohhh...went to put it in the garage and pulled the door with the door opening handle...click and shut still stiff to open though but i can live with that who's a dumbo?

shere-khan by geof worrall, on Flickr down in the jungle swinging on a rope...along came a tiger...no joke ranthambore tiger reserve...india...this one is stalking sika deer right across our path...we are in an open jeep we stop i tell the driver...keep the engine running,walla he says t'kai sahib

doing the fuel filter change...took this on the phone

proper job!! the consensus now is paper all the way unless you go off road....the oiling thing i didnt know needed re-oiled every year at a cost...did you know that and have it done?? some things are beyond the common man...£7 every year now for me...for the air filter and let technology take the high road :D cheers

yes.. i was under the assumption that if the new filter wasnt primed then an air lock might occur and affect the injectors....? i went ahead and with some fresh diesel primed the new filter with about as much as i could coax in with my little jug and fitted it with no issues.... can say priming was easy and a bit of a chore...would be glad not to do it...i didnt three years ago when i first got the car...no problems then... so here are my machinations to do the job which is really a lot easier than doing the cabin filter which didnt fit the frame to well and i had to trim off 1/2 a "V" of one of the ends point in case here....the filter has air this way printed on it....and i guess i put it into the frame correctly...pointing left to right as if the air came in from the door end...if not i will have to take it out and check again....you know its the most fussy of fittings i have seen...upside down and in the semi darkness also i was considering the carbon filter after buying the paper one but see that carbon filters arent good for pollen...??...does that sound right the one i took out was a thick grey material...i put it in initially...would that have been a carbon filter..??!! some debate over a piece of paper and some dust eh?? i used pencils to fuel lines to and from the filter thinking diesel might pour out...another miss apprehension i guess all done anyway cheers geof

at the foulridge canal tunnel, lancashire

good shot...do you use a macro lens..??

yes..you know as i was googling air filters the large cabin filters came up as well more nudges to get the whole lot done... oil was done in november the fuel filter is now 3 years old....think it also needs a change...it says 4 years or 40k..i have done 3 years and 18k might be something to do...😏... i've cut the grass and waxed the car...so? just bought the fuel filter any way...three's for luck there is a massive sale going on at euro parts they have a click and collect near me...8miles in penzance

here is my data from the website...i will request an email confirmation as well fitted the new filter at 7.54 including vat....when i compared the old and new the old one looked quite filthy...glad i got the nudge...its a Bosch one and i think i will have one annually..mileage or not.. cheers geof SKODA FABIA Colour Silver Fuel type Diesel Date registered 19 December 2008 MOT valid until 12 November 2020 Get an MOT reminderwhen the vehicle's MOT is near its time for renewal.

yes..got that now...are you in the south?...we have been over twice and enjoyed the company and food....and drink

it was diagnosed as a fan contoller open earth/wiring fault i got it fixed at my home by a mobile engineer for £125

Thanks old chap just what makes sense here not technology for my old girl but ££ sense....and i am changing because i thought 4 years/40k was a lot i only do around 5k a year and the filter was looking grubby and there was a tired old leaf in the bottom of the chamber will get over to opie oils and get one of the ones they sell... thanks again cheers geof

many thanks...i did feel i was perhaps getting sucked into the techy side a bit...and the price differentials are quite a lot... i guess any paper filter will do which is advised for my skoda... i think it was a Bosch one although i guess the labels dont mean much on the generic ones...even so there seems to be a bit of a variation in prices and some dont look like the shape of mine... getting ready to do the 1M unlock day? i watch the scottish news summaries every day on BBC red button very interesting... cheers geof

its been three years now and i will be changing the air filter again its one of those trapezoidal shaped ones about 40mm thick with a red rubber seal around the edge...'58 plate 1.4 Tdi i bought a low priced one then and wonder if the more expensive ones are worth paying for regarding fuel economy and a measure of performance on accellerating i have seen the cotton and wire cleanables on tv...wheeler dealers... which they advocated as they have a longer life being cleanable... any input here gratefully received... ps....do we get to go for an MOT soon....mine was in May and no letter...i know its because of Covid-19 etc... cheers for now geof

thanks...the short out should be easy i have several crocodile clips and fine wire which i could use..?? where might i find the relay for the lift pump??...its the one in the tank which whirrs a bit when putting on the ignition?? many thanks geof

i had my 1.4 tdi serviced and some repairs done by a mobile engineer...very good chap he asked when my fuel filter needed done which didnt need done at the time i told him i had renewed it a while back and not for another year or two...4 years between changes he asked did i prime the new one i did with fuel before reconnecting the hoses...which i didnt did it start ok? yes no problems..! he was telling me that an air lock can occur and i should have ran the little pump in the tank to prime it..he can do that through his diagnostic tools how could i do this priming myself, or does one have to pour diesel into the filter by hand etc and then reconnect the tubing he said starting the engine without the filter being primed can lead to problems...which i luckily escaped cheers geof
