Pictures speak a thousand words then im sure we can resolve the issue

No those are much larger its only a small badge on the steering wheel.

Yes I have specific bonding glue mate I know the inn's and outs as I worked in a car plant for 20 years just can't find an appropriate sized badge.

I just meant I was going to stick a new style one on if I could find one of course I eould not go drilling or anything stupid into the airbag lol.

I have a spare wheel and airbag was going to do it on that if I could find a new style one to fit as you say would not mess with the one on the car dont fancy that going off.

Yep only badge I cant find is one for the steering wheel I hate the old logo lol.

Seen a few people asking about these so thought would post this up in case people still looking. dont forget mk1 fabia are the 80mm front and rear ebay item number 313758717250 I brought a set then just plasti sprayed them black matt look great on better than the old emblem.

Buy a pet goat 😜

All done clean bill of health and another 12 months of hassle free driving for the little furby lol until the next thing goes pop 😄

Yeah I've done a full check and will do a few miles before the mot get there just before time, it's like waiting on the birth of your first born awaiting mot results 🤣

I used a thread tap rethreaded it luckily it was only damaged a couple of turns then threaded into the original thread. Took a quick ride down motorway snd mpg was great. Mot tomorrow 🙈

All changed and the little furbie is once again running as should be thanks again all

Yeah I replaced shoes,cylinders,levers and full spring sets and the whole lot was less than £50 so was worth renewing it all.

Got a good deal on ebay atm mintex rear pads £15 fitted them to mine really nice.

Yeah that's fine if you have a welder etc but no garage is going to want to strip off a 2 year old mild steel exhaust pipe to cut out an 02 thread and weld in a new one I guarantee they will say its not feasible that would be a home job with a welder etc which I don't possess or have the skill set to do.

Mate by the time you've taken exhaust off and cut out the old thread the exhaust would be trashed that's beyond feasible to cut it out and replace.

Mine were pretty bad when I came to change mine but I found a good large punch give them a few hits eith that snd hammer and they shock loose as not a very tight screw anyway

Yeah I wondered that as well what was meant.

Lol like me when I did the front suspension a while back and they had sent the incorrect front springs I should have checked did not and rebuilt it all only for the front end to look like it was a swamp buggy off roader lol :P

And just to totally kick me in the happy sack they have sent the wrong 02 sensor 👿

Yes you are indeed correct wino as always lol and thanks nta worst part is the garage that did the exhaust has now shut so I cant even go and have a pop lol but live and learn hence why I tend to do everything myself now but at the time I did not have the free time to do it live and learn I guess.

Cheers wino will check that now thanks

Ok so this is the latest about a month after I swapped the 02 sensor I had a complete new exhaust system put on now ive finally got the 02 sensor off to reveal that when the exhaust was installed they must have cross threaded and butchered the 02 sensor on. Its come off now with the blow torch and there is no thread on the old 02 sensor but it had also damaged the thread on the exhaust pipe at the start so I cannot thread the new 02 sensor back on. Is there anyway this can be tapped to restart the thread and if so what size tap would be needed please or is it a case of a new section of exhaust needed which I dont want to do as its a big section with the flexi piece and cat as well 😞

Got you will try that ive stripped all the inlet manifold etc off to get decent access to it as its in such a chit place you cant get leverage on it.

really struggling with this n02 sensor it did about half a turn now its gone solid im worried its going to snap the thread off and tips please ???
