These are the areas that need attention. Both sills need rubbing down, treating and painting and the wheels could do with a refurb. But just look at it though. won't take much to sort out the aesthetics.

This is still available. Now been valeted and had a new windscreen fitted. I was asked about service history - Skoda main dealer until 03/07/09 @ 38,413 then indies since. The book is stamped and there's a wodge of receipts right through to the last service on 11/12/23 @ 133,119. Cambelts at 49,978 (22/04/10) and 133,119 (11/12/23). As far as I can tell it's still on its original clutch but the bite point is good and low and the gear change slick and smooth. North Wales is a great destination to collect a car from with wonderful roads for you to try out your new purchase... I'll even chuck in some Welsh Cakes!

Make & Model: Mk.1 Skoda Fabia vRS Colour: Silver Mileage: 133k Price: £1,750 Description: 2005 '55' Skoda Fabia vRS 1.9 TDI in silver. 133k miles, freshly MoT'd on 11/12/2023 with expiry on 16/12/2024. KP55 OZK for the MoT history. PD130 engine, six speed manual, 16" alloys, remote central locking with both keys, very original condition right down to OEM radio. Ice cold AC regasssed July 23. Not been messed around with, not mapped. Kumho tyres all round (fronts replaced Dec 23, rears with decent tread). Been in the same family since new for 17 years until the owner before me bought it in Oct 22, I then bought it from him in Mar 23. Stacks of receipts, folder and books all present, I'm only selling because I've bought a something I've been after for a while and need the space. Condition: In good overall used condition however: - I polished the headlights for the MOT - they came up ok but not great - I did seal them but they'll need doing again at some point. - Wear to driver's seat bolster. - The EML is on, fault codes for the injectors according to the previous owner. The car drives well, doesn't smoke, is good on fuel so the consensus is that the injectors are just slightly out of kilter, enough to throw the light but not enough to affect driving it. My local garage cleared the codes and the light went out but was back on within 5 miles. Because of its age the EML being lit is not an issue for the MOT. - Both sills have surface rust scabs but are still solid - it's away from proscribed areas and didn't concern the MOT tester. - Stone chips on the bonnet. - Wheels getting a bit flaky between the spokes and could do with a refurb. - Rear wiper wipes but doesn't wash. - MOT advisory "Monitor and Repair if necessary: Central Exhaust Mounting Defective" - not seen this myself but the tester said it was not of immediate concern. Service History/Receipts/Recent Service work: In my ownership it's had the following: April '23 - reconditioned window control module from @Breezy_Pete of this parish - new front calipers, discs and pads Dec '23 - full service + timing belt, water pump and thermostat - new front tyres It's been totally dependable in my ownership and given the recent work done I see no reason why it shouldn't continue to be so. The aesthetics let it down a bit but it wouldn't take much to rectify that. I'd happily drive it anywhere. Extras: --- Mods: Compeletely stock, never been modded or mapped, original down to the OE stereo Shipping: --- Collection: Collection from LL57 near Bangor, North Wales

In my defence there wasn't much fuel in it when I'd picked it up so I'd been keeping an eye on the miles 'til tank empty which had been reading 40 so at first I didn't notice when the display changed to 4.0 (degrees)...

Finally collected this yesterday. The window module ordered from @Breezy_Petehas already arrived so that's a job for the weekend. Perfect first drive home down the A5 from Shrewsbury to Bethesda. As I came down the valley towards Llyn Ogwen there was a bong and a warning flashed up on the dash. I pulled over and when I got out thought, "Ffwcin hell it's freezing!". Took me a few minutes to realise that the warning on the dash was because the outside temperature had dropped below 4 degrees! Not owned a car this 'modern' before! Still, the stop was an opportunity for some pictures and to pamper the pooch with a sausage roll for his good behaviour on the train today.

I'm currently sailing around the Canaries. Lying on deck in the sunshine sipping an ice cold beer yesterday afternoon I was perusing the For Sale section of another forum I'm a member of. A Mk1 Fabia vRS at a very reasonable price caught my eye and after exchanging a couple of messages with the owner a deal was done. Please don't get the idea that I'm some kind of international playboy, I live a fairly humdrum existence in North Wales usually! I'll be picking up the car on my way home next week - really looking forward to it - something to ease the change from Canarian warmth and sunshine to the wet and cold of Snowdonia in February. Thanks to member @AnnoyingPentiumfor telling me about Briskoda - the car needs a new window module so I'll be in touch with @Breezy_Peteonce I have the VIN. Cheers, Jim
