Thanks for the replies. Will keep an eye for any Favorits with alloys breakng close to where I live. The one's on e-bay are quite far from where i live. Thanks once again

Hi All Simple question - Would the Favorit Alloys fit on the Felicia? There are a few going on e-bay for as low as 50 quid, with good tyres. Any guidance will be appreciated. Cheers

Hello The car is now sorted. My mechanic (for whom now I have developed a lot of respect) took the car from me the same night and worked from 10 pm to 3 am and removed and refixed the gearbox. Yesterday he also got a new speedo gear and fitted it. The car is now working fine, except a little notchyness occassionally while engaging the first gear. I know the mechanic did a mistake, but to be honest, I would have done it too, these things just happen sometimes. I sympathise with the mechanic. In fact after he fixed my car, I gave him a Thank you card. It was really nice of him to fix the car in 2 days. Cheers

While trying to top up oil in the transmission, my mechanic ended up slipping the speedo gear in the gear box. This caused notchy gear shifting and finally it stuck in second gear. However he realised it was his mistake and therefore, opened the gear box and removed the broken pieces of the speedo gear. Now I have two problems and will appreciate expert and experienced Felicia owners to help me out 1. I have topped up enough oil in it, yet there is a bit of notchyness, a hesitation while shifting. What could be the cause? If I am not wrong the oil required in the gearbox is 2.5 litres? Should I top it up with more oil? 2. I will soon buy a new speedo gear from the local Skoda dealer. However neither me nor the mechanice knows of the correct procedure to install it. We do not want to slip the new gear in the gear box again. Would anyone be able to advice the right procedure to install the speedo gear? Pictures anyone? Guidance on the above will be much appreciated. I have a very nice Felicia estate and would like to get it back in shape. Regards Ali
