    New Fabia

    in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)

    Posted

    Well, after a hiatus of nearly 3 years after owning my vRS, we are going to look at a new Fabia tomorrow as the wifes company car is going back for good.

    Looking for a mid range TDi.

    However, I've just been reading the topic on the build delays and I'm not so sure now, we dont want a massive delay as the current car has to go back on a certain date.

    I dont want the dealer telling me 'yes, no problems with delivery' and being left without a car!!

    Finally back into a Skoda again, yippee!

    We have been with ntl/Virgin Vermin Media for years. Last week after a phone call to complain to them, they installed a new TV box (HD V-box) and their Super Hub. We were upgraded from 10 meg to 30 meg.

    However, the internet seams to be even slower than normal!

    Here is the results I got a few mins ago. :o

    That is supposed to be 30 Mb/s. :@ Having said that, the upload speed is quicker than it was before (around 1Mb/s)

    Well the super hub is pants, I have it in modem mode and have a different wireless router....works better

    Ask them to check your power levels, I had a problem of really slow internet and they came out and checked it and found the power levels were all out, they adjusted them and it was fine afterwards.

    Had Enough of Virgin Mobile

    I went with Virgin as I have their services at home and get a good deal for our 2 mobiles.

    The coverage (T-Mobile) was awful at times but now it swaps to Orange, I rarely have a problem now.

    Can't say I have ever had a problem with their customer services, always sorted me out when I have called about a problem.

    My package is: £27.99/month

    1300 mins

    5000 texts

    1Gb Internet

    3000 Virgin to Virgin mins

    Unlimited Blackberry

    My wife has one for £7.99/month and is ideal for her.

    Well hello everyone,

    I have been away from the site for ages while I got my life in order and I'm happy to report all is better than ever....

    I now have a beautiful daughter Maisie Isabella and no longer do the CAD design work as I was made redundant which hit me quite hard as I put some considerable effort in for the company for 8 years, but hey, that's business...

    I have some really good mates who saw my redundancy on my facebook status and they got me a job with them renovating houses in SE London, which I absolutely love doing!!!

    The really bad news is that my dearly loved Fabia vRS has been sold and I now have a Transit van, but that won't stop me contributing on here at all!

    I look forward to hopefully helping others on here with my knowledge and hope to own another Skoda really soon!

    Regards,

    Ben (Conshine)

    Looks like EGR crap to me?

    Might be worth removing that top intercooler pipe and seeing how bad it looks inside the inlet manifold. My bet would be it is pretty clagged up with exhaust gas crap - proper gunky job to clean that up, but is worth it. Really should remove the inlet manifold complete and get the whole lot thoroughly cleaned out.

    And when you do - get lots of pics.... Enough of an advert for EGR delete pipes! My EGR has been gone for 4 years+ now and I no longer get any build up of gunk AT ALL. :thumbup:

    Mine looks like that.

    That car has done 95k so it might be a good idea to get the hoses off and have a clean up????

    Which Mobile?

    Hi all,

    I have finally been persuaded to upgrade my Nokia 3310 for something a bit more modern.

    Now, the 3 choices I have are:

    http://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/all-lg-phones/LG-touch-screen-phones-GD510.jsp

    or

    http://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/all-lg-phones/LG-touch-screen-phones-GC900.jsp

    or

    http://uk.blackberry.com/devices/blackberrycurve8500/

    Does anyone have one of the above and if so, would you recommend it?

    I have to say, I'm not sure still? how easy is the Blackberry to use?

    Any comments would be good emoticon-0100-smile.gif

    Is this legal?

    I think the police will pull you if the lights are too dark, there is a young chap that lives down the road and he got pulled for having dim lights, he got told to change them.

    When you say white bits, what exactly do you mean? and what colour is the paint?
