Intermittent and multiple electrical issues
I imagine @Breezy_Pete is your man for explaining what to do... because it certainly ain't me!

Intermittent and multiple electrical issues
A lot of those issues would stem from wires in the door loom beginning to break down, IMO/IME.

Proxima alloy wheels
Best tips I can provide: Measure centre cap bore. Buy centre caps that match such a measurement. Wheel bolt covers can be had off eBay for not too much. Once again measure and buy accordingly.

To weld or not to weld
All down to how much you like it and how much it'd cost to gie it a whizz over with the sparkly stick.

Laptop advice
I like that Gen 2, SSD is a bit small for my needs, but may suit your daughter fine. Maybe see if you can spec it with 480/500/512GB of SSD storage.

Drop-in 6-speed manual gearbox replacement for a 5-speed 1.2 [Fabia MkII]?
50-52mpg out of a 1.2 HTP Fabia is still bloody good, IMO/IME.

Drop-in 6-speed manual gearbox replacement for a 5-speed 1.2 [Fabia MkII]?
Nail on head... and all that. The 1.2 could have benefitted from a longer ratio or extra gear as the droning at 60-70ish mph coming from the engine does get quite annoying eventually. One of the biggest factors in wanting/planning to change my car too.

MK1 vRS - Stage 2 R-Tech Tuned
I reckon it'd be deserving of it's own project thread.

Sent you a direct message, as not to clutter up the thread.

Nope! Happens to be Auld Arnie Shark's. By way of valeting tips, I'm happy to help.

Mk4 colour edition wheel caps
At least you got somewhere with the fella at the parts desk. I had a mild falling out with him when I tried to get door card clips and later some headrest guide tubes.

1990 Honda Beat... Uh?
There's a certain type of person who prefers the Beat over a Ferrari... and that happens to be me.

Heavy Knock When Turning.
I have this too. Still interested in a potential solution.

Ah not bad. I do valeting for a... competing dealership.

Fuel Prices
Haven't refilled the Fabia yet (last time was Tesco @ £1.867 p/L), but think it's going to be expensive. Commuting daily is a ****ing fortune.
-
Mk4 colour edition wheel caps
Chances are the centre cap diameters are 56mm, so just go onto Amazon or eBay, IMO.

Ah, you're from Ayr? I sit and watch the Ingram boys offload the new Skodas from the transporter during my lunch break at work.

Are ASZ, ARL and BLT injectors identical?
I wouldn't leave my email address exposed like that, if I were you.
-
Do i simply put a new battery on. or does it have to be coded in after ?
Correct. You'll lose the saved time in the clock too. But these are all just a bit 'first world problems' if you ask me. The handbook states how to set the clock, as well.
-
how do i trigger the washer fluid deflict light
Ah. I stand corrected. Bloody modern motors.
