[is this a normal reading]

I agree with all the above. Had mine for just over a year and a half now and its always on 90 degrees however I'm driving.

[what fuel do you use]

I Mostly use V Power or Tesco 99. i do sometimes use 95ron but only when there is no other alternative but tbh its not very often.

[Upgrade light bulbs]

Im using the halfords 90% brighter bulbs in my vrs and they seem to pretty good. not cheap tho at £18ish each.

[Best Tyre pressures for 205/50/17 on a mk1 vrs]

[Best Tyre pressures for 205/50/17 on a mk1 vrs]

[any regular meets in the nottingham/derby area?]

[Standard H4 bulbs pants in vRS, so....]

Like andyvr6 says halfords are doing a bogof on there 90% brighter xenon bulbs and they have made a vast imrovement in my mk1 vrs.

[any regular meets in the nottingham/derby area?]

I would be up for a meet also. some evenings and weekends not a propblem.

[vRS - does it handle well?]

I have to say i like the handling of the octy vrs mk1. I have driven all sorts of cars including my mates M3 and i get just as much fun drivng my octy as driving the M3. Even my mate rates the handling of the octy he likes how direct the steering is. I can't complain. I also think the Focus has a bloody good chassis so the handling is excellent too but unless you get a Focus ST or RS then there is a lack of power to pull it out of the corner but then of course thats a different matter being FWD.

[octavia vrs fabia vrs]

I agree with both answers. It certainly would be an interesting test and as bigal rallyred said the octavia was rally for a few years as the octavia wrc 4wd.

Do the S3 seats fit straight in then?

[skoda motorsport decal]

OK. in that case i will have to decline your offer. if it was the size of the smaller one it would have been perfect for what i was after. Thanks again though.

[skoda motorsport decal]

so is it 500mm or 200mm as that one in the picture looks more like 200mm

[skoda motorsport decal]

P.s i can see it says the size in your original post. i feel such a dime bar now. LOL.

[skoda motorsport decal]

Sorry thats a bit big for what i was thinking. I was hoping it would be a bit smaller for the rear quarter window like the briskoda sticker.

Thanks Anyway.

[skoda motorsport decal]

[Tip of the Day - Octavia Tailgate Strut Supports]

[Tip of the Day - Octavia Tailgate Strut Supports]

Thanks mate i just checked mine and they were a little loose so have tightened them up a little.

P.S. is that a yellow octy mk1 vrs you have if so good choice nice to see a fellow yellow owner. LOL

[Xenons - worth the cost?]

Hi Harry vRS what HID kit are you using. is it one from HID's 4 u? if not which one is it?

[Better main beam bulbs]

Could Anyone tell me if the Phillips Blue Vision H4 bulbs are any good as i don't have the xenon lamps i only have the standard lamps but im looking for some brighter light as i do a bit of country road driving at night. if these are not that great can anyone suggest a better bulb to use.

Hope some one can answer this question for me.

Thanks.

[How Much Is your Insurance]

Standard Octy mk1 vRS i pay £350 fully comp. which i didnt think was to bad.

[What make brakes are on the octavia Vrs]

Hi just wondered if its not already been covered. but what make brakes are on the Octy mk1 vrs and how many pistons they have. e.g. 2 pot 4 pot and so on.
