  1. at work we use a company called westland wheels, not sure of the price but do a good job and they guy comes to you, real nice bloke.
  2. can someone confirm the exact date/ time please, we goin for the 19th or 25th??
  3. Fabia vrs, got a bit of flaky paint on my N/S front caliper. Wondered if you can get caliper paint from Skoda or any after market paints that match fairly well with the standard green. Any idea's?? thanks Dan
  4. 10v at the lighter socket? little low but wouldnt worry about that. 12.5v is a perfectly healthy battery, and 14.4v under load seems like a good charge. unsure why it would overheat though!! when you said you were testing the radio, does this mean you have fitted a new one? you may have a current draw from the new unit, causing your battery to lose power.
  5. as above ignition problems are fairly common seems to be a french thing lol
  6. I didnt think it would fail an MOT on ABS inop. if the lights on it will. but i would imagine it could be a wiring fault perhaps, the vag com printout makes no sense to me lol, whats a fault code and whats not. because none of them look like ABS faults to me but i maye be wong
  7. air con works easy enough but if your replacing parts and theres still gas in the system, get it recovered/evac'ed. the gas aint too good for ya lol.
  8. down to you mate, air con repairs are generally expensive so the way i see it if your window still opens, its all good lol
  9. as above we charge a voluntary £10 for insurance and if it comes back with no fuel in it we charge 50p per mile, just keep it topped up lol. but if its a big warranty issue i.e, car off the road parts on back order or whatever then generally the warranty company should sort you out with a rental for avis or whatever.
  10. as above i've got an angel remap, pulls like a train but still nice to use on the commute to work, worth the dosh in my opinion.
  11. without actually looking mate i dont know what else to suggest. sorry dude
  12. i love TPS lol, i didnt realise they dealt with public. i thought you had to be in the trade to but off them?? hence the name?
  13. just checked my levels and noticed i already have tre pd 160 trumpet but the pipe is still like £53 + VAT but saves a few quid
  14. didnt cost me, im a mechanic and it was one i was looking at lol. not sure of a price to be completely honest. hows the clutch feel?
  15. if it was mine i would take it to an auto electrician although could be costly, this is assuming skoda dealers have checked ECU and Fuel/Ignition system
  16. does putting the engine under load make it worse at all?
  17. mounts can cause this mate, had one recently and it was shaking my fillings out lol!!!
  18. i would say flywheel could be up there also check engine mounts. is it running rough or just noisy?
  19. as above, very much doubt its wheel bearing related, that would give off a drone kind of noise. sounds more like brakes if anything.
  20. i did consider making a "pikey pipe" but not for me lol
  21. thats what i mean, cheapest i can get it is like £60 at trade with discount!!!! lol. no VW's got this fitted?
  22. just out of intrest can you get non gen one's? if so, if anyone knows of a seat ibiza cupra with a pd160 lump in it, could they PM me the reg. i know its a lot to ask but would really appreciate it. thanks Dan
