Just want to put this out there.... But SkodaFest 2024 is happening 26th May 2024 at Chetwynd Deer Park, Newport, Shropshire TF10 8EU All the best From Sean.

Morning all 👋🏻 Just need a little advice please 🙏🏻 on my 2007/07 Roomy 3 👊🏻 My passenger door as a issue.... 🤦 • When you unlock the doors.... it won't open (only from the inside either by pulling the lever or the door release button in the console) it's still locked on the outside • when you lock the doors, and pull the handle "to make sure they are locked etc" the door is still unlocked & sets the alarm off. • i've been listening for sounds when locking and you can hear the other doors lock and only occasionally the front passenger door locks • and yes I've tried manually putting key in the drivers door and locking the doors that way and still the same top two issues... Is this the lock mechanism? And needs changing? Or does it nerd a good dose of WD40? 😂😂 I only ask, as when the rear door played up... I couldn't open it from the outside or inside and that was down to the lock mechanism. Thanks in advanced 👊🏻 All the best and keep safe From Sean.

Hi. The rears look OK, but I will get them looked at.... I will book her in next week and get them to look at all the suspension.... Thanks again

Hi NZ100 👋🏻 Update..... Well this morning I noticed the NSF was flat 🤦 So I brought two fronts and had the wheel alignment done.... Went for a drive and even though the steering is lighter, she is still pulling to the left... 🤦 and the steering wheel is off centre..... 🤦 Again any help and advice is very much appreciated, as this is getting to me now.

Hi all. I have a very annoying issue with Roo 🤦 Cut a long story short etc this is my issue.... • the steering wheel feels heavy and have to keep pulling it back into the centre • the steering wheel dont seem straight when parked up and when the wheels are straight inline etc • When you "let go" of the steering wheel she pulls to the left • When you steer/turn left she feels lightIsh • when you steer/turn right she feels heavy • when I check the air pressure and make sure it's 38 all round the tyre pressure keeps coming on... • I keep taking her to be tracked and it always comes back OK or "slightly out" • bushes have been changed in December (again) It's driving me mad and I worry its something serious and expensive and she will need to be scraped....😥 Any help and advice is much appreciated. All the best From Sean.

Hi all. Thought to post an update. I have managed to buy and fit a strut brace/bar to Roo 👍🏻 I brought the brace from Securace in Slovenia 👍🏻 The original bolts are long enough 👍🏻👊🏻 Hope this helps anyone 👍🏻

Hi all. Just after some advice please. I've recently brought a strut brace for my Roomster (which is basically a MK2 Fabia at the front) but I am after some advice - especially when it comes to the existing top mount bolts.... In my head the factory/standard bolts are and will be to short to accommodate the extra thickness of the metal base.... is this true? Do I need to buy some longer bolts? And if so where from? And what size? etc.... Or are the original bolts still OK to use. Thank you all. All the best Sean.

Hi. Is it me or have I got the wrong bulbs in? I have a 2007/07 Roomy and the headlights at night are diabolical.... I've put new H7 bulbs in (2 pin) restored the headlights and it's really bad at night.... not as bright powerful like other cars etc Because Roo as the projector headlights, is there a specific H7 bulb I need instead of the standard/off the self H7 bulb.... I've invested in those 200% brighter bulbs.... but last time I did that - there was no difference.... Any help amd advice would be greatfully received. Thanks Sean.

Happy new Year too 👊🏻 Thank you for that. So I will continue to look for a 2007 rear bumper then... maybe a 2008? All the best 👊🏻

Hi all. I've been after a rear bumper for my Roomy for ages, and eventually I've been offered one. The thing is the offered bumper is off a 2011/11 Roomster and my Roomy is a 2007/07. I know the front changed over the years, but my question is will the 2011 rear bumper fit my 2007 Roomster? Thank you and all the best From Sean.

Hi all. I am just putting this out there. I am after a rear bumper for my Roomster please. I own a 2007/07 model. I am after a replacement bumper in Silver and with the rear parking sensors (either in or the holes for the sensors) and no cut out for a towbar (as that's what I have 🤦) Thank you and all the best From Sean.

Hi. I am after a engine strut brace for My Roomster (which is basically a Fabia MK2 at the front). I was just wondering does anyone have one from a old project or brought one and never got round to fit etc. Thank you. From Sean.

Hi Does anyone know of any Skoda breakers please or as a Roomy that is breaking as I need a rear bumper (with reversing sensors) please, to fit a 2007/07 Roomy. Thank you From Sean.

Hi Does anyone know of any Skoda breakers please or have a Monte Carlo/VRS/Black Edition that is currently being stripped, as I am after some parts. I am after the following... > The set of black 17" alloys > The black headlights > The black grille/badge surround. Thank you. From Sean.

Thanks for this toot 👊🏻 I haven't personally done a service for years.... Talking about the triptronic gearbox.... is there any dipstick (in the engine) to check the level etc? Been told it never needs a oil change? (Bit odd) as it's a non DSG. Been quoted 150-300 to chanhe the gearbox oil. Thanks again

Hi. I own a 2007/07 1.6 16v automatic (non DSG) Roomy and it's touching 90,000. I am thinking of doing the service myself.... Any tips please? And what needs to be changed etc.... Also how to tell the car its had the service etc (I.e. reset the service icon etc) Thanks in advanced From Sean.

Hello all. I remember back in the 90s in the modified magazines that i use to read that there was a yellow modified Felicia (VR6). I've always believed it was in the Max Power magazines.... am I right? And if so can anyone remember the year/month etc so I can try and find a copy of the mag. Thank you to you all in advanced.

Thanks Toot 👍🏻👊🏻 Very helpful 👊🏻

Morning SurreyJohn. Sorry to confuse you, I am not after the original/standard towing eye.... got a handful of those + whays by the spare wheel. I am after a adaptor/adaptor kit-bolt so I can attach a towing strap. Thanks again.

Hi. Does anyone know where I can get a towing eye adaptor bolt kit from please for a Skoda/Roomster/VAG Group please, so I can attach a tow strap please. All I can find are Fiesta's/Focus's and the odd Mini & Golf 7 ones. Thank you.

Hi (Again) Just was wondering does anyone know the best place in the firewall to feed Amp leads/wires through please. Thanks. Sean.

Hi. I want to treat Roo to a K&N.... 😃👍🏻 I was wondering do I need to tell the ECU/Car that it will be sucking in more air? Or does it automatically detect the air flow? Also any tips on where to place/stick it?.... I am thinking on positioning it behind the radiator behind the bumper/grille.... (cooler/colder air etc)... Thanks in advanced 👍🏻👊🏻 From Sean.

Hi. I have noticed on this Roomster that the automatic gear stick button is sticking out.... but mine isn't.... Should I be worried or get it checked? Mine as been stuck in since I brought it....
