  2. It's definitely not just you, Alpine White. My old Octy had exactly the same problem, literally hundreds of tiny chips plus a couple of big 'uns (most from a previous owner). Thankfully (?) one of the big chips (the only one that occured while I owned the car) turned into a foot-long crack one hot day (remember them? ) so I had it replaced. Needless to say, the difference was immense!
  3. GJ plate means the car was originally registered in Maidstone, Kent. The 'G' part = Garden of England (covers Kent and E. Sussex). HTH!
  4. I managed to squash my sill doing that (that's on a 4x4 using a trolley jack). 250 quid to put right:eek:. Avoid if possible!
  5. Pulled out of my road one morning behind a dead ordinary-looking Volvo 850 (or whatever) in a flat sort of greeny colour. It was pottering a bit through the village but i thought "what the hell, i'll hang on and pass it on the way out". Got up behind it ready to go as we got to the 60 limit then woof! It disappeared up the road going like a bat out of hell. Needless to say i had a go at keeping up but to no avail. Finally caught the sodding thing up at traffic lights, at which point i noticed a tiny badge on the back which read (yep, you guessed it) 'T5-R'. Green light on and i never saw it again! About 240 bhp, weren't they? That'll be a good 90 brake advantage over me, then (standard Octy 4x4).
  6. Sounds like whoever did your last service didn't reset the service light. Have a look at: http://briskoda.net/forums/diagnostics-vag-com/reset-service-reminder/110609/ Bear in mind that this will move your car onto a fixed servicing schedule (the light will appear every 10k, if it doesn't already). Should suit, though.
  7. Found a couple of used 53 plate Octy vRSs online which are listed as Rally Red, so sounds like an 02 bumper should be same. Hope that helps! Probably worth checking with Skoda though if you want to make sure.
  8. Quick measurement of the two and i reckon the Fabia spoiler'd be too narrow by up to 3 inches-probably look a bit odd!
  9. Managed over 400 miles for the first and only time (well, 410 to be accurate), range of about 20 miles before i filled up. Mix of country/town driving boosted with 180ish m'way miles sitting at about 70 :zzz: cos the tank was a bit low. God, was it ever dull! 350-360 normally off a tank (4x4, that is).
  10. Yup, that's right. Also found dealer cheaper than aftermarket.
  11. Thorough throttle body clean did the job for me, too.
  12. Getting the throttle body cleaned out thoroughly did the job on my Octy:). No probs since, i'm even able to drive straight after starting up if i want to! Sounds like you've got the same problem i had-worth giving it a go!
  13. No, it was in Oxfordshire, but you're right about said Swindon dealership. Heard some pretty horrendous stories about that whole group of stealers over the last few years. Work not done or not finished, lousy customer service...it just goes on! Wouldn't touch 'em.
