I’ve got a 57 plate mk1 fabia 1.4 tdi this has 80bhp. 71 mpg today on the trip computer on a 12 mile urban run, wonderful engine the pd’s

I have had Roomsters for 12yrs. Best car ever owned. Very roomy for its size and flexible. Get the tsi engine, very quiet and plenty of power with 105bhp engine. Good luck with your search.

I have a 2014 Skoda Fabia 1.6 cr elegance, the spare tyre is now 5yrs old and has never seen the light of day, would this still be serviceable. I am changing the tyres on the car this month. Spare tyre is Bridgestone T005.

SurreyJohn would have been my choice the Vredestein but couldn’t find them in that size. Have decided to go for Bridgestone T005 a bit noisy I’ve heard but quite hard wearing. Thanks for the advice.

That's impressive 2xw

Thanks sepulchrave I am a bit of a stickler for regular servicing, regardless of low mileage.

Shortly to get back our mark 1 pd80 Bohemia estate (2007) from my daughter after 5yrs, it has done 48k . Is the life expectancy of this engine as good as the pd105( assuming correct engine oil has been used and regular servicing)? Hope to keep it going for a number of years,annual mileage c5k. Many thanks. Any big milers with this engine out there? Cambelt was changed at 28k.

Surrey John - thanks for the reply have trawled the internet not many choices in this size 205 45 16. May go for Fallen Ze310's. Not for me actually swapping cars with my daughter and want her to have some decent boots on the car.

Hi very good offer on this tyre ai Kwikfit at the moment. Would this be a suitable tyre for my Fabia mk2 1.6 elegance estate, as it sounds more like a sporty hi performance tyre? Many thanks.

Thanks mrgf but we live 75miles apart. Cars are kept on driveway. But I believe changing the registered keeper is almost instantaneous doing it online.

Thank you peter3197. I was a little confused as I rang dvla and they said tax it first. Then read that if you change keeper the tax is automatically stopped, and refunded less the current month to the last keeper.

I am shortly going to swap fabias with my daughter( mk2 for mk1) doing the transfers and tax online. Do I tax the new vehicle first then transfer the keeper or the other way round? Many thanks I’m sure you learned people will know. Looking up on the internet I get conflicting views. Malcolm

My daughter has them on the front of her fabia which I am shortly going to acquire.

Gregoir its spelt with 1 t only.

Has anybody heard of these tyres, are they a reputable brand?
