Hi all
Just bought a Felicia 1.3 5 door hatch (it says estate on the insurance). Been driving Morris Minors for 20 years. Now too creaky (me, not the MM) to lay under them every week.
Reasons for the change:-
1. Cheap motoring.
2. The Felicia has heating that works!
3. 5 gears - 70 mph and I can still hear the radio.
4. Cheap motoring.
5. I'm dry.
6. Skoda has brakes.
7. Cheap motoring.
I'm very new to 'modern' cars. Power steering, CATs, lambdas and the like are a bit scary at the moment as, previously, every part of the Minor was maintained by myself. Now, it seems, a third party with a bill may become involved in the future!
On that subject, anybody have advice on what to look out for in servicing and maintenace for the Felicia? Particularly as the MOT just passed gave emission results as:-
CO ... 0.08%
HC ... 28 ppm
Lambda ... 1.0
Within limits, but I've no idea if these are low or high or OK. Any advice, or is there a thread on these subjects?
