  1. This should do the job. Problem solved.
  2. Good evening and welcome to Briskoda! 15k miles is impressive!
  3. 15" alloys might be the smallest you can go on the MkII vRS, it's rather dependent on the size of your brakes.
  4. Oh I forgot about that one! I remember coming across that a wee while ago.
  5. 155bhp in a Citigo is honestly the most terrifying thing I've heard but I love it.
  6. My Dad's first Nova... a D-reg 1.2, presumably a Merit.
  7. Stirling via Callander, Bannockburn, Larbert, Falkirk, and Cumbernauld... Lapped it up well, besides a random "wobble of death" around 65-75mph, especially on accelerating. Currently going about the car ticking off things that could be wrong. So far my tyre pressures are okay but still to check balancing weights haven't went their holidays. Could be thinking about the console bushes, or whatever the weird clunk from the front driver's side is - could be drop links, or the CV joint or something odd. May also see about getting the balancing redone and the tracking checked. In the meantime, hae a photiegraph that I taken to remember where I parked.
  8. Hello and welcome to Briskoda, enjoy the site!
  9. Greetings and welcome to Briskoda!
  10. You won't get 6R seats in a Fabia properly due to the fact they're on a newer VAG platform. 9Ns should fit since you can fit Mk1 Fabia seats in a Mk2 AFAIK, since they're all on a common platform.
  11. Another one, with the Veccy B. This must have been one of the earliest examples as well. Taken at Aird Donald Caravan Park in Stranraer, c.1996.
  12. They were quite rare compared to their 4-door counterparts IIRC. My Granda (through my Mum's side) had an HA Viva when he passed his driving test in 1966. It started life in duck-egg blue, then white, then red with a black roof.
  13. The 2-door Nova saloon my Grampa had. Not something you see kicking about anymore.
  14. Used to have a pair of beige ones which are now consigned to the big box of spare bits. However, I fair fancied having a black one and when one came up for a tenner I bought it.
  15. Hello and welcome to Briskoda! That's a nice looking Octavia too, they always looked good in the white, IMO.
  16. Hello and welcome to Briskoda! This Superb you're looking at will be a Mk2, I suggest stopping by the Mk2 Superb section and asking them for tips and advice when buying a Superb. Enjoy the site.
  17. Meant to make the post earlier: Swimming was off on Monday since my Granny and Granda was away to Carlisle for Monday till Wednesday just there. Going back this Monday though.
  18. Yes yes, I know the differences between both formats. Philips introduced V2000 if I'm right in saying, and JVC the VHS later on in 1976 (IIRC). I was merely stating that I still used VHS, it wasn't of relevance really. Sorry for whatever confusion I've caused here, as I am, as usual, also confused. Anyway, although complicated, the OP should give VCDS-Lite a shot at least for trial purposes. Gendan sell the cable required for it, but please do your research first. Otherwise, use the reader thing you bought from EuroCarParts with your smart-phone or tablet via Bluetooth and use an app like Carista or whatever folk use. I've been using 'Garage Pro' and it was good for doing checks across all things on the car and bringing codes back. I have no codes at the moment as my car has randomly started working again, but I must be careful, it could be listening to me.
  19. No need, I know how to work one as well. Still got a VHS one in almost daily use. Anyway, I shan't derail this thread further.
  20. Then, as above, Halfords or just about any other automotive shop, like a motor factors, TPS, TMS (Alliance) etc etc
  21. Deutsche Tech, Ayr. Just o'er the wall fae the Aldi. Haven't used them personally. Unit 18 North Harbour Ind. Est. North Harbour Street, Ayr, KA8 8BN (for those that canny see the image)
  22. Following with great interest. I love a Race Blue Octy.
  23. I had a fair amount of issues with it, then again, I build the computers - I don't fix the software. I like to think that I'm somewhat computer-literate, with a few qualifications in Administration & IT yadda yadda yadda. I think I do need to sit down with VCDS-Lite and actually get to grips with it, slowly but surely. This place is great for learning how to work VCDS etc.
