It’s not much to expect a car to not have those faults you have had to deal with and the costs it’s incurred. Perhaps it had a hard past even at 9.5k referring to gearbox/clutch. The other stuff should have lasted longer period. Saving grace no cambelt charge after 5 years old

Is there a particular issue with the 272 is it all from that era or just certain ones?

Plenty breaking on various Facebook groups. Worth joining

Washer bottle this time @TrevorB33?

How is the gear stick when hot side to side floppy or very stiff. Vs when cold. I had this on my Octy 2 removing cables from gearbox proved it was gearbox. I removed and cleaned selector arm pin. Gear change improved. I am sure I wrote a post on it.

Do a search loads of threads on here about this.

I only have a picture no name to share

There was a guy at Skodafest last weekend displaying his offerings. Pretty sure there are some pictures on Facebook against the Skoda Owners club pages

Thanks, lovely car Please post dates/photos and mileages here for all to see also ? I found your other advert and DCC is fitted No sunroof or glass roof, right ?

Could you confirm 19” wheels. What has been towed? What date and mileages for servicing? Is that some sort of iPad holder under the headrests? DCC shocks or standard? Thanks

Whichever wheel is logging the faulty speed sensor issue it’s likely that hub/bearing has rust. Change it and fault should go. edit you say you have changed the bearings already?

Thanks for that. I am in with a fighting chance they might be correct as they are genuine refurbished ones have Lucas type markings on them and auction lists for Fabia vRS and in a close shade of green.

I have a pair from SSL Autoparts eBay, were yours the same, so I can ask my mechanic to take a close look at this when fitting mine. I don’t have a vernier caliper to measure mine.

@johnthomas99 where did you get them from. I have a couple waiting to be fitted myself

ET50 6.5J 1ZO 601 025B 5x112 This was purchased as a spare and I never used it. Now car sold is surplus to requirements. I would class the refurb as 9-9.5/10 there are some odd storage marks and places where the pre refurb finish is not perfect. Nothing that you would see without being really close up. it’s shod with used Nordexx Stratus 205/55/16 91W tyre. 5-6mm of tread. No real cracking as it’s never been fitted to the car since purchase. Still full of air after years of storage. £55. Currently located in Walsall WS5. given time I can get it to WV11,CV3 or LU2 or somewhere along M6 south to Luton M1 with prior agreement and fuel tokens.

Any links to this sump Plug kit preferred supplier have 3 cars could save a bit ?

Paint pen I gotcha, explains why you do it too. I end up supplying a sump nut and washer every service those £5 odd all add up when you have done about 23 oil changes just on 1 car!

Good job Trev. Are you marking every thing you tighten with some kind of marker/paint? If you reuse the sump plug does the washer have to be changed every time ?

Trust me it should not get to the stage where the car is being lifted by you using the jack on your wrench. If so stop immediately when you feel that happening. Otherwise borrow an impact wench cordless/corded. I did that once, drove to my mechanic with it’s the front caliper sticking to release the front carrier bolt, made it look so easy with that tool.

Have you tried jacking car up. Then using another trolley jack on your rachet/bar to crack it open. I did this once worked a treat when someone suggested this out of the box thinking.

Now sold

The weather is perfect for a yellow furby to appear on the roads Matt. Hope to see it at Skodafest.

They might be L&K wheels or sport wheels as opposed to SE. 16” the best compromise for comfort and cost. I have a set of pre-FL vega wheels on the forum classifieds if interested

Nice one. Anything else of interest you got your eyes on ?

Available on eBay very cheap for a pair. I have done the hatch version. They were mega strong compared to the old ones. Key is to measure the old I believe.
