Not mine anymore, but I miss it........

Reminds of the time I bought my Vrs. Dealer advertised 'Cambelt done' - just forgot to say that it was 4 years previous!!

Yeah, you're right, I just thought someone on here may have had some experience of them.

Just asking this question here.... I have a chance to buy a 2007 Nissan Serena Highway Star 8 seater 2.0 ltr Auto. It is an import. I just wondered if anyone on here has experience of them e.g vehicle tax cost & insurance costs. Will still have the VRS but this would be more for family trips away......

Yeah, switched the fuse with another 15A one and still no luck. Looks like I may have to replace it

Tried another fuse.........

Hi, I accidentally set a screwdriver in the cigarette lighter and there was a small spark. Since then the lighter has not worked. Fuse is ok and it still lights up - do I need to completely replace it? Suspect i do but wanted to ask anyway.......

I would love these but am in Northern Ireland

I put the trigger gun right up against the gap and went very slowly around, going quite high up either side. I then ran my finger (dipped in a little fairy liquid) around gently smoothing and pushing slightly into the gap. I have done 3 doors on two Fabias....and all still hopefully OK.

Lets hope she does another 100,000 as trouble-free.......

Are you never back in UK because that seems expensive for a belt change, unless you are getting a full service at same time?

Congrats on the new car....health to drive and enjoy!!

I done mine (vrs) yesterday using a Pela 6000 extractor. There was more than enough tubing for my car and I assume it should reach down in most cars. I have read a lot from people being sceptical about how much oil is actually extracted, I have to say that I had to put 4.3ltrs of new oil in, so it must have got as much out as removing the sump plug. I did the change after driving 20 miles and the oil was quite hot and fluid.

I read a post recently which had a video/walkthrough of user doing an oil change on a Fabia (VRS?). - they may have used an oil extractor. I have searched for it but can't find it, anyone have a link to it?

Thanks, it's just I seen the pads from supplier with and without cables so seems safe enough to buy just the basic sensorless pads

I have a standard 2006 VRS. How can I tell if I need the pads with sensor or not (does it even matter if I get the ones without) - not near car so can't go and look!

Sale on now - up to 50% off items - I bought 5L oil for £20 (For VRS). Just checking if someone can look and check if this item number, 10444079A (Brembo discs) would be correct one for the VRS - with sale you are getting 2 for price of 1.

All depends on condition.... Reason I bought a VRS was because I had just bought a 2001 Fabia 1.9tdi with 123000mls on it (and rough bodywork). I had the 2001 for a year and did 17000mls without ever having a problem....and getting 55 - 60mpg. I was looking at a 2004 which seemed to be in good condition but I thought the dealer was asking too much for it.

I am near Lisburn

I bought mine in England (travelling over from N.Ireland). Ask loads of questions and try and get a feel for the seller from their answers. I looked at 3 or 4 online and some of them were actually quite rough when I got a look at more detailed pics - seller described them as 'age related marks', where I would have described them as 2 or 3 hammer hits!! The car I eventually got has been great so far (7000mls in 5 months)....but I still had a few issues with seller which I couldn't really complain about after travelling over and ready to drive car home. His website says if cars have less than 6 months MOT he will MOT for a year (mine had 4 months), his ad said 'Cambelt changed' (just neglected to mention it was 4+ years ago). I am very happy with my VRS but could easily have been fooled in to buying a dog

Just in case it is coming from door seals - if its not, it probably will be soon!

I had a 1.9tdi (PD100) Fabia, bought it with 123k and sold it a year later with 140k on it - never let me down once. Only sold it to buy a VRS, If I had the room and money, I would love to have kept both!!

For anyone else getting this noise, it could very well be just a stone caught and rubbing against brake disc. I have had this a few times and the first time it happened I was very worried because it sounds really bad. It should work itself out eventually.......

I may need a passenger side rear caliper on my VRS. When I look at TRW calipers they show 2 different part numbers for the rear left. When I look at descriptions of both, they seem identical so I just want to see if any of you guys can shed some light on this for me. Part numbers say BHN945 & BHN945E

Great, thanks......I need tyres soon and may get these as well. (same colour as mine too!!)
