  1. VRS SE 874 (LK07LKZ) is no more, someone pulled out into the front corner of it. Easy fix for someone maybe, but uneconomical to repair, so written off. Needed wing, bumper and lower wishbone (maybe more) Prior to the accident it was tidy, and mostly standard, except for parking sensors, reversing camera etc. with 93K on the clock.
  2. Use the Goofbid sniper, totally reliable down to the last couple of seconds
  3. The Thule Fit Guide shows different part numbers for A2 And Fabia so I would guess not: http://www.thule.com/fitguide/default.aspx?Language=en&Market=GB
  4. I picked up a black one from a special edition Golf Anniversary on eBay to match the dark VRS headlining. It gets used regularly and saves fumbling around trying to find your shades. It's not particularly easy to get your glasses out whilst on the move as your arm tends to block the view of the road ahead but you will get the hang of it. Here's a pic of it in my SE:
  5. Contact your tyre manufacturer with your axle loads and tyre size, and they will supply the correct pressures.
  6. I fitted this Sony stalk to mine, wouldn't be without it. Can control headunit without looking down, especially useful with a touch screen.
  7. I routed some of my cables up the A pillars, under the edge of the headlining and down into the boot. Very easy.
  8. I'm doubtful that grounding the handbrake sensor wire will work. This is a much discussed subject on the web. The following video is one of many similar solutions demonstrated on Youtube and is what i did on my Pioneer AVH 3200BT:
  9. Take the centre vents out, you can get your fingers down there and manoeuvre the cables. Removal of the glove box gives a small bit of access to the side too.
  10. Also note the following from the owners manual: • The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years. More detailed information is available from your Škoda Service Partner.
  11. Are these what you're looking for? Part No. 6Y6853140DB41: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SKODA-ROOF-MOULDING-BLANKING-COVERS-6Y6853140DB41-X-5-/320847519287?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AFabia&hash=item4ab4009e37
  12. If you don't live near a dealer... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SKODA-RADIO-FASCIA-ADAPTOR-PANEL-6Y0857231B41-/321015658745?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4abe0638f9
  13. There's some photos of my AVH-3300BT in this thread: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/220757-double-din-radiosatnav/#entry2648340
  14. Photos as promised: I made three MDF spacers to go under the TS-WX77A, the left one was from 6mm MDF, and the other two were 10mm. One had to be thinner to allow for the shape of the sub. The holes are to reduce weight, a bit pointless considering the weight of the whole build but I had plenty of time... In hindsight, there was potential to reduce the weight of the false floor in a few places. When I can find some Velcro, the spacers will be attached to the bottom of the sub. but you get the idea for now. Before I started the whole project, I modelled it in Google SketchUp:
  15. You might be lucky to pick one up for half that if you are willing to buy second hand like I did. But, make sure you get the remote and wiring loom. As for the strength, the TS-WX77A itself is well built and the rear half of the false floor is rock solid too, there are four vertical pieces of MDF that transfer the load directly to the boot floor. The opening flap sits on a rebate all round so is strong too. There is a currently a small gap below the sub so any load placed in the middle at the front will rely on the ledges that the sub sits on. My job today is to make some 8mm thick MDF spacers that I can Velcro to the bottom of the sub to take any load placed on it -Photos to follow later!
