BMW are doing a deal at the moment, £250 covers the first three services, the intervals are 20K between each one so that will cover all servicing through the time I own it (With any luck) because at the moment I’m doing 16K a year. All this and £35 a year for road tax on the 118d, its all gravy Now I can get an old Jeep Cherokee for the winter next year and get my ozone hole back up to size

Oh well, that’s it, after three years (well, 2 years and 51 weeks) and 47000 miles the vRS has gone. The grin factor from this car has been fantastic, one of the biggest hoots I think I have ever had with a car, the best thing in the world to upset the average ‘boy racer’ with is a diesel Skoda! I haven’t posted much on this site because I have had no need to, the car has done its job admirably since I got it, though in my time it needed a new rear screen because of it becoming disbonded around the edges but that’s nothing new, then (about two weeks after the rear screen, grrr) needing a new front due to the nice truck that fired a stone through the one that was there! It also needied a new set of glow plugs and relay because the relay decided to go into melt down one day but that was all covered under warranty so no problems, not a lot has gone wrong with the car, it was a pleasure to own, I just wish that Skoda had managed to bring something out that I fancied this time but there is nothing in the range that I warm to at the moment, but there is always the future. As it is I was looking around at what to get next, was going to go for a Scirocco but went to the dealership and just felt like the salesman there was just not interested in selling me a car, I ended up walking out because the guy I was talking to was more interested in chatting to his other salesman mate about the weekend, in the end I got offered a deal that I could not turn down on a BMW 1 Series, I just had to do it, so yesterday I finally dropped of the Furby and picked up my 118d, in the end I got sucked into the £35 a year road tax, I just could not justify the extra money for the 120d. Thanks a lot to all on this site for the information that’s available and the few South Wales meets that I attended, for those who haven’t met him Fatty is a star and the same can be said about Decron, cheers for some fun times at the pub. I will still keep sticking my nose in here every so often to see if my car has appeared, be on the look out for a black 07 plate from South Wales. Cheers all Mike D Oh, please see the image below, if you see some pillock in a white BMW waving at you then I have forgotten what car I’m in and still think I’m in the Fabia. Also, yes, I did get the optional indicators fitted Later

Sounds like you should have the paint all sorted for next time then, good move By the time I got home on Sunday it was raining, (oh the joy of living in the valleys!) so just as well I left the Leon at home otherwise I would have been right cheesed off! Got to admit it was a good meet with one hell of a turn out, come on all the rest of you, where were you hiding, the summers coming! See you all at the next one

Seats are OK as long as you have a decent dealer close to you, I have a Ferby vRS and a Leon Cupra R. The Skoda dealers have been OK and if I have a problem there are three within my local area, the Seat dealers are a pain in the ar$$, every time I go there that don
