At least 84 has gone to a good home. God, I miss that car. :(

Now Sold.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

Just as well you don't have dyslexia........

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).

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

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'

Bump Still need someone who can make these stickers or link to supplier Standard Skoda Logo 120mm diameter

You mean like this in hatchback guise false mdf floor

Finally got my WRC Style Spoiler sprayed in white and fitted. I am after a pair of round Skoda emblem decals/stickers. ebay show at 100mm diameter. I think I can go a bit bigger maybe 120/140mm Any opinions, or have you got some fitted and at what diameter? Links to suppliers other than ebay as ther is little information on tinternet Cheers Steffi

Hi Thanks Bought a pair of Sachs springs off eurocarparts as need urgently. About £90 the pair so not too bad. Messaged seller but no response and can't do anything as too late. Already left good feedback after the final confirmation from the seller said these were deffo mk1 vrs. I need to identify exactly what they are so I can resell.

This turned out bad. Finally with good weather managed to remove broken front n/s spring. Was broken at the top and the bottom! these springs are nothing like Octavia mark 1 vrs springs. too late to complain to seller. so not happy. Looks like eurocar parts sachs springs are best bet as something now needed fast as car still on jacks. Can anyone identify them so I can resell? thanks stef

Yup, I couldn't do without. Has got me out of one near certain crash with totally safety. If I want a bit of fun it can always be turned off.

So question changes to why no Wifi in the Citigo? As long as I can just press a preset button for a channel that would be fine. Internet radio currently is a massive fail as I don't use or need mobile phone.

When radio listening is 99% Planet rock and Jazz FM it is daft to offer all this media stuff with the PID yet not offer DAB even as an option. May be outdated from its inception campared to DAB+ but its works. and despite a hatred of MP2/MP3 is does sound good in a car environment.

Thinking might go citigo due to less miles. Likely 75ps Elegance. However no integrated DAB radio on the RCD 215 or even as an option. SEAT Mii and VW up the same. VW stating DAB on all models from Polo onwards. So what gives? Brand new car and yet spoilt for a few pennies. I do not want external fit DAB as lived with Pure Highways for years. Just fitted JVC DAB60 in our yaris for some integration. And yes this is enough to stop me buying this car.

This is what I bought. Just emailed seller and he confirms mark 1 vrs but I am less sure now seeing your picture. Are you saying your picture is Mark 2 Vrs? pic of springs bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-octavia-vrs-mk1-coil-springs-/271161815382?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=%252FBx8%252Fday0EFJdjNcDFtVThyuThg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Please Help! Can someone with a mark 2 Vrs check what color dots are on the springs and post info?
