[Expect to Pay ? - VRS Petrol FL 59reg]

Mine is for sale! Hatchback though. Pm me for details :-)

[Mlada Boleslav Surrounds fitted!]

Fixing pads?

Where do I get them from?

[Just bought a Fabia VRS and joined Briskoda :)]

Welcome!

Most likely will never see you, unless you come to the Cotswolds for a holiday...

Have fun in the world of Briskodaland :yes:

[Any coffee making lovers out there?]

Same as you, love coffee, had had loads of machines then about 2 years ago we bought a magimix one thats linked to the Nexpresso system

Nespresso™: the Art of Espresso. An exclusive Espresso Machine Range & 12 Coffee Premium Blends

Fantastic, probably averages 3-4 cups a day, never let us down,

2 big pluses

Coffee is in capsules so you can make different strengths/types a cup at a time, ideal when people want different coffees

Machine only needs a thourough clean about 3 times a year & they supply cleaning kits for this.

Capsules are ordered on the web & come the next day, really is a stunning system, fantastic again if you only want one cup, can be made in no time.

Will also do milk frothing etc if that floats your boat,

Stuart

Can't agree enough with this!

My wife bought me one with an "Aeroccino" automatic milk frother - the coffee is absolutely wonderful, and I am the world's biggest coffee snob

EDIT: Found it! In the guides section

[Ibiza MOMO Strut Brace]

Any idea where I can get a guide to fit one - in pictures, that is? :S

[What do we expect the changes to F1 will be this year?]

How about marshals in bikinis?

[Fitting Strut Brace & Leon Cupra R Splitter]

Thanks

I managed to get the info for this from fabia-vrs.com - pictures are always useful for me so I can follow visually too (I think there were pics on the old site).

If anyone has got these, that would be great.

[Fitting Strut Brace & Leon Cupra R Splitter]

Having just ordered my Ibiza strut brace and Leon Cupra R splitter, I've been searching the site for guides to fit.

I know they were there before the site update, but can't find any sort of guide/pics.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

[Skoda or VW ?]

I had a Passat SEL 170, which was as comfy as a sofa :-)

Unfortunately, it drove like a sofa too.

Octy every time for me.

[Girls going to the shops in their PJ,s]

From the BBC news item:

"Elaine Carmody, 24, a full-time mother of two young boys, described the ban as "ridiculous" and "pathetic"."

Maybe it should have been "Elaine Carmody, 24, a full-time mother of two young boys, is described as "ridiculous" and "pathetic"." :p

[Idling too fast]

sorry just being literal and padantic!!!!!!!!! :yes:

Don't you mean pedantic?

[Hello from Gloucester]

Hello,

Im in Chalford so not too far away either. I have a Silver Octavia L+K.

TC

Neighbour!

Both my cars below have a Brisky sticker on the rear window so flash your lights!

I'm in Bussage. Are you in proper Chalford or are you just in the posh part of Bussage?

EDIT: I was born and raised in Cheltenham so consider myself to be in the posh part of wherever I live ;)

[New member and New Skoda owner]

Welcome

[vRS - TSI or TFSI?]

My FL vRS says TSI on the engine cover...unless it's just the cover which is a TSI

[Honeymoon period over?]

Generally I like silver, especially silver estates, but I hate the Skoda silver. To my eyes it's dull and seems to age really poorly. I'm quite liking my cappuccino beige as it's one of those colours that looks different in different light, so it's like you have 2 or 3 different colours depending on the conditions (I bet that makes no sense at all). Under showroom lights it actually looks like silver.

I LOVE my silver FL vRS! It has actually started to look better as time has progressed since I bought it. My last vRS was a race blue Octy and whilst it suited the old shape down to a tee, I think that it looks a bit childish on the FL - a view I've still got as I see more pics of race blue FLs.

PS Not ready for a beige car until I'm at LEAST 70...

[Age of vRS owners]

I'm 33 and on my third vRS!

[How can I lock the doors from inside?]

Black cabs will lock while in motion, but unlock when stationery

I'd feel unsafe in a black cab made out of paper... :p

[So what bits would you like to see on Octavia III?]

Hi Phil,

I live at the bottom of a hill and habitually turn the music off at the top (to save the neighbours from my tastes ) & cruise the 1/2 mile to home.

Pressing and holding the radio for 5 secs to turn off is totally silly in my opinion and not that easy on our poorly surfaced roads round here.

For me; click (or switch) ON/OFF is far better

Cheers

You press and hold the button for 5 secs? I just push in for a fraction of a second and it switches off. Is your radio different? :no:

[Anyone managed to insure a 2.0T FSI with MORE TH>N]

ME!!!!

Paid through Quidco and got £75 cashback too.

Try doing it over the Internet...if that's possible.

Mine's a vRS TSI FL too.

[Driving on ice]

I have an Octy vRS (petrol) plus a Furby vRS - no problems whatsoever...and I live on the top of a steep hill!

A N T I C I P A T I O N is the key, that and don't make any sudden braking moves - unlike the guy behind me earlier this evening who was sliding uncontrolled down the hill... :no:

Happy skiing all...

[Vrs FL badge]

Thanks

that's how mine is-I guess there's a bit of cost

cutting going on!

[Vrs FL badge]

To put it another way:

Can someone who owns a FL vRS have a look at their badge to tell me how theirs is affixed?

Sorry if my original question wasn't clear

[Vrs FL badge]

it seems a bit flimsy and I when Ive caught it with a cloth/sponge mitt when cleaning i think its gonna snap off!!

tbh.. not sure how its attached

I was wondering if it was supposed to have something substantial behind it, like a plastic bit behind the grill attached to the back of the badge. If yours looks like it's just attached by glue onto the front of the grill slats, then I'll be VERY careful cleaning it!

[Vrs FL badge]

My not take it back and insist on a new grill with badge, pretty sure it comes as a whole unit.

The question I'm asking is if all FL vRSs are done this way
