There'll be an underground scene of 1.4 8v Fabias.
-
Howdy and welcome to Briskoda! Hope you enjoy the Octavia and the site.

I'm downloading Windows 11 to my laptop right now as I send this message. Wish me luck!

I use my smartphone for online banking with Nationwide since that's what they set it up for me back when I opened the account. As such, I've never accessed it anywhere else. I looked at a Windows XP alternative for my 2006 Dell Latitude D400 and opted to try out Lubuntu Linux - which is a Lite Ubuntu type operating system. Ran miles better, even with what's now considered as paltry specifications. I may give Lubuntu (or equivalent) a shot on one of my older laptops at some point. I've had a sub-par experience with Windows 10 overall. I found 7 to be less buggy in comparison. My hardware has obviously changed which has meant that I can't give a clear comparison. Hope that helps.

Yes it will. Remapping places will no doubt do an "EGR software delete" for an amount of money, of course.

I've still got XP on a Dell Latitude that I got for the grand total of... a quid. I have fond memories of surfing the 'net on Windows 98 around 2008/2009 when I was allowed "computer time" at my Grandad's when I'd go there for my tea when my Mum was working. I'll keep an eye out for your W10 technical advice thread, @Tilt. I'll advise where I can too.

I've only ever managed to bring my radiator fan once in the nearly a year I've had my Fabia, and that was on the warmest day of the year with a fairly spirited drive.
-
Best of luck getting that sorted.

Howdy and welcome to Briskoda. Hope you are enjoying your Karoq and the site.

I see a Mercedes saloon from the back. Front looks a tiny bit like the newest Leon. I don't mind it that much in all honesty, would be nice in black.

Might not have an Octavia, but I did upgrade my bulbs to these. They're rather good, especially compared to the OEM candles. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NMEEV9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope this helps.

Odd thoughts but... Does anyone else think the MG5 looks rather B6 Passat Variant-esque? At least from the front that is.
-
Stunning looking Jaaaaaaaaag!
-
Aye it is. Use fishing line behind the badges and a heat gun to get the glue detached IIRC. You'll probably need a fascia adaptor of sorts to fill in gaps etc. Not sure about grille upgrades/replacements mind you. Hope this helps you, however.

I used Vennal Cameras in Ayr but they haven't stocked it since the discontinuation of Agfa Precisa.
-
Hello and welcome! One of my mates had encountered this, or a similar one, on AutoTrader recently. I very much like the colour, be sure to make a project thread as Dean says. I would love to see how it all unfolds.
-
Howdy and welcome to Briskoda. Smashing looking Superb, rather aggressive looking with the blacked out parts and the paintwork. Looks nice!
-
You, however, appear to have a different "cubby" area. That will be why you didn't need an adaptor.
-
Sad to hear the Fabia is going, but the Swift seems like a solid choice. Is this going to become a 'Non-Skoda' Project in the respective section?
-
I hadn't forgotten since I've been reading up on this for a wee while, but I'll have to try and keep it in mind when these come (they're my birthday present from my Grampa) so I've got a wee while yet.
-
It'll make it that one step closer towards "new motor" territory (it'll never be new without messing with the concept of the space/time continuum) and not the clapped out shed in your rear view mirror.
-
Think I managed a few months, but mine appear to be fogged beyond "proper" refurbishment and are getting worse already.
-
Hide the car in a garage and never use it. I kept polishing mine, but it's no good. Went for new units instead, so there's one way to find out if the fogging/yellowing is still an issue.
