It's a good car but unfortunately needs must. In reality i need the price advertised so if he wants it and he can travel then let me know. I can sort out a coach ticket for him from mereoak park and ride if needed and pick him up from plymouth coach station. My email and mobile number is listed in previous post. 👍 -

The only things wrong at the moment are: There is a kickback on the brake pedal as you come to a stop. Not a massive kickback but is noticeable. Possibly a faulty abs sensor but no light or any lights on dash. Nothing on MOT. There is yet another leak from the boot. Not massive but nonetheless a leak. It slides into 1st gear. Possible synchromesh. Too good a car too scrap or give to some wee yob to completely ruin. We all know how good these cars are so help me out folks and buy a cracking project. -

text.txtHi folks. Unfortunately i need to sell the car. I’m moving home and need to sell soon. I desperately want someone from the owners club to buy the car because i don’t want just anyone to buy the car. It’s had no expense spared as per above description and needs someone with the enthusiasm, time and money to make this car a minter again. Car sailed through its MOT this year and needed nothing to pass. Check on MOT checker and you will see the last few years worth of passes. Please help me sell this car. Now for sale for a very very cheap £1100 OVNO. -

If anyone is interested in this car send me a message and we can discuss. I understand its not in the for sale section and if any of the moderators want to move it to the appropriate it would be much appreciated. I’m a bit useless when it comes to technology. Lol -

Hi car is still for sale. It’s done 127k miles now and has had a fair amount done to it. Got a new alternator loom and fuse box still to fit. Not had a chance as been struck down with covid the last few weeks and struggling with it. Got it last year and ended up in hospital and then caught it again. I want to sell it to an enthusiast and not some wee yob around here. Also id rather it went away from me so i don’t see it again lol. If your still interested check out the MOT history and you’ll see its been a mustard car. No expense spared and its been a good car for me. -

Cheers I thought they looked like the resistors that you can get online they American plug and play ones. Once i get my electrical issue with the car sorted out I’m doing the deletes soon. Just need to collect the resistors to finish the job. Anyway looking forward to the rest of the thread. -

Electrics trip and reset mk1 Vrs
octaviavrs170 replied to octaviavrs170's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Aye i should have the parts for Monday morning so hopefully on Wednesday on my next day off ill strip out the old cable and refit the new harness and box. I’ll take some pictures if i can remember between swearing and going mental at the car. i cant take the chance to clean the connectors and recrimp it if its going to cause issues further down the line. When i felt the cable earlier at work the moment i started the car the cable went instantly hot and after i revved it a bit it was scalding hot. So to be absolutely sure of the fix a new harness and fuse box i think is the right way to go. Cheers for the advice and lets see what happens during the week. In the mean time if anyone has any guides or tips on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. -

Well I’ve bit the bullet and order a new fuse box and black cable which I can only get with the harness. I used the part numbers from the sticky thread and ordered them from skodaparts.com c/o Bickerton Skoda in Sheffield at a cost of £171 delivered for Monday. I can’t afford to have the car off the road but at the same time I cant afford to get the parts at a cheaper rate and then try and fix the issue and it eventually costs more in the long run. I’m hoping the harness is easy enough to fit. It don't look too difficult as it literally plug and play by the looks of it…….. Well I’ve jinxed myself now.
