  1. At least 84 has gone to a good home. God, I miss that car. :(
  2. Still for sale but not available immediately as now getting strut bearing sorted along with Oil and filter change.so mechanically will be spot on.
  3. Decided to replace strut top bearing today. When dismantling the top of the strut, the strut bearing (7) was at the bottom of the top spring plate (5), not on the top. All the info I can find shows it at the top under the locking nut (9). can someone confirm the order of spring top mount plate, bearing, nut, rubber mount top plate and nut? thanks
  4. More pics as requested Rear o/s Door, barely noticeable so very close up with ruler for scale Front n/s wing Engine bay Seats Dash Note also water pump is fine and not in need of immediate replacement. It is an advisory thing only. As is top strut bearing. I may be able to accept payment by debit/credit card but may incur a 2% surcharge.
  5. Piccy of Nr84. Now in the For Sale thread. Unfortunately it has to go by orders of the obergruppenfuhrer (wifey). I have had the pink faded decals replaced with red. IMHO looks how it should have been ie proper rally colors.
  6. I added 5 farad cap. result bass much deeper tighter less boomy. why do you think one of my hi fi amps has 40,000mf of power supply capacitance. the higher farad in a car is due to lower voltage.
  7. For Sale £2,500 ono I am having to let go my car, as I can no longer commit time to bring the car up to show condition. Skoda Octavia vRS WRC Limited edition nr 84/100 Finished in Candy white with Skoda WRC decals MOT due 29th May 2014 Taxed to November 2013 Current miles 81,205 Refinements over standard vRS include Xenon lights with power washers, Heated front seats, front seat airbags, ESP.

First registered 21/03/2002 Robert Eardley & Son Tarporley 3 previous owners Last owner obtained car in 2006 I bought car August 2010 @ 71,000 Service book history to 57,651 09/01/2009 Bills supporting history since. Cambelt done main dealer Jan 2009 @ 57,651 Oil pickup changed at Oil service March 2011 (with new NGK plugs) Coil packs replaced under warranty Full set pagid brakes and discs Jan 2012 Overall in good condition. Red decals redone last month to replace faded pink. Not so good points are: Body: small ding front n/s wheel arch. Very slight crease lower o/s rear door (barely noticeable) Wheels have some usual dings/blemishes. Some minor creasing of sill lips which is common on these cars. Interior: Drivers seat not as clean as the rest. Right switch on interior light iffy. Mechanically: Front n/s top bearing noisy, replacement supplied. Tracking slightly out. Cannot ascertain if water pump was done at cambelt service, so may need changing for peace of mind. Some spares Original stereo supplied , Original new bonnet decal, Magnex back box milltek centre pipe if required Any questions message via forum initially. May post interior pics later.
  8. Sat in the estate vRS at the mega meet yesterday. Seemed ok, but the instrument binnacle is offset to the left . Why! thats a no then. I cannot tolerate (or understand) why manufacturers of cars cannot get the center line of the seat through the steering wheel and binnacle. So everything in front of the driver is central. So offset seats, binnacles and particularly annoying, offset steering wheels to the left , or right (passat) are out. (says he driving a yaris)
  9. Just as well you don't have dyslexia........
  10. Anyone going to the national meet on sunday with a WRC edition. I hope to be there. As they are over 10years old modding won't make a difference to value. They are only worth same as standard VRS plus maybe a few quid for the extras which came as standard fit (maybe extra £500? tops).
  11. Tried just about everything, foam, sprays, VAX, nothing works because I reckon the dirt from the seat foam is dragged to the surface. Only way to do the job properly is seats out and remove covers for cleaning. The biggie here is the heated seat panels and airbag. Its a job on a long list of todo's
  12. Whoa! thats not nice. Heres a picture of 87 in better days, from my list. Again a request for anyone with pictures of their WRC100 octavia vrs'
  13. Bump Still need someone who can make these stickers or link to supplier Standard Skoda Logo 120mm diameter
