Fronts are et 35, rears are et 15 They're Schmidt Modernlines

Evening, I'm looking for some advice on tyre sizes. Recently bought a staggered set of wheels that were originally for another project but I think I'm going to put them on the Roomster. They're 16", fronts are 7.5J so I was thinking 215/45 16, rears are 9J, would 235/45 16 work? Not interested in the stretch look. Think I've worked it out ok going by standard 16" Roomster size of 205/45 16 on a 6.5J wheel. Rob

Hello, Bit of a long shot but I'm looking for part number 6Y9 860 035 C, it's a washer/gasket that sits under the centre support on roof rails for a MK1 Fabia Estate. Would anyone have one? New/used I don't mind Rob

Thanks Lee, very helpful They appear to have been superseded by N 90732102 which doesn't look like it would fit, however the size appears to be fairly common so I'll hopefully find a suitable alternative

Hi folks, Changed my cabin/pollen filter today and replaced my heater fan resistor too, both fairly straightforward jobs Wanted to remove the fan motor to check for leaves and debris but got stumped with one screw, can anyone advise how to remove this (pic below) Would anyone know the part number of these screws or would anyone have any spare? Could do with a few as I managed to lose one somewhere and I'm pretty sure there was also one missing Rob

Thanks everyone, that's helpful, I'll get the new fob ordered

It's a key key, 2 button remote that detaches from the key part to replace the battery

Evening, found the source of my leak after the torrential rain we had over the last few days, definitely coming through the windscreen seal dripping directly onto the drivers seat. Bought some 'Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure' and hopefully that'll sort it but if not I'll book it in for the screen out and re-seal. Noticed a wee bit of rust on the leading edge of the roof so might need to have the screen out anyway to have that investigated and addressed

Hello, I'm looking to buy a new remote fob so I can have a spare key (only got 1 at the moment). How do I determine if I need a 315MHz or 434MHz one? I see both listed on eBay for MK1s. Mine is an 02 52 Combi Rob

So after leaving the headliner off overnight, no drips around the top of the inside of windscreen this morning, no condensation on the roof, all appeared well However, once I returned to the car after driving it to work this morning I noticed a damp patch on the drivers seat (see photo). Now there's nothing directly above the seat that could drip this amount of water (no headliner, just bare metal) so my only conclusion is that the action of closing the drivers door is causing the water to be forced out of wherever it may be. Any ideas guys? I'm totally lost. Checked the rubber trim where the headliner sits into and it's dry. Starting to regret this purchase...

Afternoon folks, Little update, removed the headliner today to get a better look at things, nothing obvious. Pretty wet/condensation from the front up to about the B pillar, some towards the rear but not as much. Going to leave it off for a few days so I can pinpoint where the water is coming in. Managed to break both sunvisor clips and one of the rear courtesy lights (was not in a good mood by this point) so they'll need to be sourced and replaced. Weird one though, prior to removing the headliner, my central locking was kind of working from the remote key, opened the doors but not the boot, now it'll only unlock. There's nothing up the liner I could've dislodges that would cause this is there? Just coincidence? I've left the courtesy lights unplugged, would make a difference? Also, found a random black cable when I removed the headliner, doesn't appear to have been attached to anything and no exposed wires at the end as if it's been pulled out a plug anywhere, about 65 inches long. Rob

Hi folks, My fuel filler flap release cable has detached itself, just wondering how to get the rear panel off to reattach it. I've seen guides for the hatchback but on an estate it looks like I'm going to have to remove a fairly large panel. Has anyone done it before that can offer some advice? Rob

Cheers, saved me buying the wrong ones on eBay

Evening, Are the rear lights on the hatchback interchangeable with those on an estate? I'm looking to change my rear lights to the later version. Will I need new bulb holders or are they the same? Cheers, Rob

Brill, thanks @TMBI'll keep my eyes out for a MK2 set
