Thanks for the feedback, think I'll get some Bosch Aero blades.

Looking to replace the wipers on my fely... Just wondering if anyone has fitted the Aero type blades? Do they work alright? Would be nice to have them, much better than the old type! Cheers,

Mine sounds more like a clunk.... When I get the chance im going to investigate. Its actually be doing it for quite some time -really should look at it! But then again, I wouldnt be too surprised if it could be the gear linkage as if I hold the gearstick tightly it stops clunking!

Thanks for the replies

Its' not the exhaust, I've had that issue and fixed it. That was a different rattle on my fely

Ok, Cheers for the reply. Last question, is it alright to reuse the nuts/bolts? Maybe with a bit of threadlock?

Just to confirm, I got some crude photo's... Rekon I could change it without ramps? Failing that, it'd only be ~30 mins labour to get it sorted.

Thanks for the replies :-) Can this be done without jack support on the engine? Also, would it be obvious that the rubber inside the mount is knackered or is it not that visible until you remove the mount?

Just wandering if anyone has any ideas with this: When cold I get a knock (sounds like from passenger side more than drivers side) when I change gear (only in low gears). I can stop the knock if I hold firmly onto the gear stick when changing. Seems to go when the engine has warmed and is quieter now its warmer weather. Gearbox mountings look alright from what I can see.

I know this is an old thread.. but I could do with replacing this mounting.. Can it just be unbolted or does the engine need supporting. it doesnt look weight bearing or anything but I wouldnt want to chance it without asking!! Also, anyone got any ideas on part number? Cheers :-)

I dont know a lot about audio as you can probabily tell.. would: Kenwood KFC-1361C 13cm 3-way Speakers - Car Audio Discount be suitable? I take it "3 way" is just simulated and doesnt need extra wiring?? Thanks

Sweet, thanks for the reply. The head unit went in the bin a while back.. hoped that would improve the situation.... it didnt.. Got a kenwood unit in there now, seems pretty good. Will shop around for some 13cm's

Well, I was going to put up with bad audio... until one of the speakers started vibrating and added to the fact they are rubbish I think ill replace them. Questions; I think they are 13cm speakers? Would any 13cm fit to replace them? Would replacing the fronts give a noticable difference providing I fit something fairly decent (anything would be better than the standard fit). Is it worth fitting rears? 1.3L felicia Hatch BTW. Finally, anyone reccomend a direct replacement ? Cheers guys

Shouldnt fail. Drivers door is the only one which needs to open IIRC, others could be welded shut and it could pass.

Just bought an off the shelf one, cant remember what it was called. Pretty sure most are the same now. If not, ebay or other websites.

The locking caps do break. Go to halfords and buy the generic screw thread locking cap. Works perfectly however, will have a seperate key to operate it.

Cheers guys, will have a look. Though will steer clear if I think I'll blow myself up!

Anyone know if felicias are fitted with anti syphon devices? Got a knackered 1.6 p reg and want to take the fuel out of it as its got a fair amount. Cheers.

I do have doubts on if its a suitable exhaust. Its got a different end to most fely exhausts. Are the rubbers easy to change? Could I crawl underneath and DIY it?

Pretty sure this has been mentioned before, but I cant seem to find it (mabe just being rubbish!). My fely makes a fairly rank noise when pulling away with a heavy load in the back. 90% sure its the exhaust rubbing on something. Any ideas? Plus, is it easy to fix?? Cheers

They put it on the front? Get the wheel rebalanced. SHould fix it i'd imagine. Especially if it was ok before the wheels were switched.

Should be able to go to halfords and get a standard wheel and the correct fittings for the centre. Replaced a favorit steering wheel bout 4 years ago by visiting halfords. Duck tape lasted the 200 mile journey but the wheel needed replacing after that lol

Were they a skoda dealer? Someone must have some alternators, call some local motorfactors (look in the yellow pages). Or try Jorily skoda on ebay, he might be able to source the parts Battery acid can be nasty stuff, wash it off with a tonne of water.

Mine is the same colour . Im in the process of painting some rust patches, but I invested in some Rally Red spray paint to keep it looking sheek:rofl:. Although I cant imagine that it will end up looking terribly great, ive never been one for art!

Well, its raining in the UK where I am and I must say i'd prefer snow right now! Wanted to do some paint touch ups and forgot to put the car in the garage yesterday so now its all wet so will have to wait... pain in the arsh.. lol. P.s. Nic colour fely
