Still looking to replace with a small derv car poss a fabia or fiesta

Sorry to say that the best car i have ever owned has been sold.Going to a good home though (a friends wife) and will be well looked after. 8 years of good motoring,shame the change of job dictated the sale. Still got the Fabia to play around with if i can get the keys off the Mrs.

Could people please keep a look out for any car in the Cardiff / Newport area of South Wales that is not a black fabia vrs with a black grill and red leather seats using the reg J1 EAA as they were stolen off my car this evening in the Marshfield area. Police have been informed, thanks.

Based in South Wales, the garage were not going to swap the ecu just check the voltage coming out of mine to compare with the voltage coming out of my mates ecu. (i hope)

Anyone help with advice on a ecu problem on a mates car (oct vrs 54 plate). Hesitates badly when reaches 3000rpm, he has taken the car into a local garage and they have told him that they suspect a ecu problem(low voltage on one side ) what ever that means. Due to the cost of replacing the ecu is it possible to by a reconditioned unit or is it better to by new and are there diffrent types for this make and model. My car is in the same garage on Monday for a wheel bearing replacement so they said that they are going to test the voltage on mine as a comparision test to confirm a ecu problem on his.

I,ve got a APR Stage 2 fitted by Awesome but no rr figures, never been a great diffrence between stage 1 and stage 2 on mine.

Taken the linkage off today, found one side sized tried for 1 hour to free with no joy. tried the wd40 route, so off to breakers.

Thanks will try this tomorrow after work, hope it does not rain in the morning. Cheers will let you know if it works

Front wiper motor seems to be giving up the ghost. What ever speed you select it takes at least 3sec to clear the screen. anyone had this problem before and was it the motor on it,s way out?

Stick to pro speed for the exhaust.

Trying to get captiol in newport to replace mine this friday. Knocking noise from n/s/f maybe this is the problem? Gone through 5 sets of front tires since new only done 36k.(still under warranty

Just sold SKO5ODA to Rainworth skoda dealers in Mansfield to go on there breakdown truck.

Have that plate on my car already

Forgot to mention that i also have koni,s on all 4 corners so that might have also effected the problem.

Have the same problem on mine since fitting stiffer rear arb, although mine is n/s/r tyre wear on the inside. Also have had 4 wheel alignment check that shows rear geometry is now out.

Mine is doing the same miss firing between 2/3000rpm under moderate acceleration when taken on a long run. It seems ok when driven lightly and on short drives. Changed the coil packs in oct 08 since then the warning light has stayed on code is showing that there is an open circuit on the coil pack, find this strange as i thought that it would be miss firing all the time. think it,s time to buy a new set .

I;ve got r32 front and neuspeed rear with koni on all 4 corners be prepared for a lot harder ride but a far better handling car.

Had a puncture repair carried out today,tyre fitter noted that the rear tyres were starting to wear on the outside. Mentioned to him that i had a new rear arb fitted about 2 months ago and had taken the car to a local tyre dealer (near newport) to have the tracking checked. He thought that the rear tracking could not be adjusted on this type of car, that being said the car does not seem to handle any better since they have done the tracking it handled a lot better in the week leading up to the tracking being done after the arb had been fitted.(also had a r32 front arb fitted a the same time). So i guess the question is can the rear tracking be adjusted or not or have the local tyre dealer charged me and messed up the rear geometry of the car?

Any body know what has happened to westec, popped down there the other day to find it had shut up shop. Just wondering if they had opened up somewhere else?

Snapped my o/s/f new years eve as well quoted £37 from gfs but bought complete set of koni;s from demon tweeks for£92

Got my deposit back from white dove on tuesday car just did not do it for me. So maybe a spare car on there list? (was first on the list)
