Shroud

Bargain. Sold a very similar set condition wise on ebay for quite a bit more than this a few weeks back. Also corrected my earlier post re: 205/55/16 tyres. The 16" rims are fine on the Fabia, but you really need a lower profile tyre such as a 50 or 45, as the passenger rear arch rubs slightly otherwise.

First bit of frost and you'll have buyers biting your hands off for these for winters. Too good to scrap.

You'd think that £50 each was the intention, otherwise they may take alittle while to sell.

I have the same steel rims and i have put them on my mk2 Fabia fine. But if you run with a 205 width tyre then you will need a profile less than 55 to avoid passenger rear rubbing the plastic inner arch.

You can get the code mapped out.

Yes, it looks a real nice one. Just like mine. Hold on it is mine. Great cars, may even get another at a later point, such a lot of car for the price they are going for nowadays. Thanks to Bowders, Chicken Eyebrow, Paul Dazzle, et all for making it such a great forum.

That was a good tip that i overlooked when i followed your excellent guide. :( Still worked fine though, but you do have to be careful. That's a good price from TPS. I'm sure i paid closer to £80 from Skoda. And yes i'd happily help someone out doing theirs who were local, but TBH the guide pretty much covers the process completely.

Yep, seat comes up like new again after doing this Those metal rods/lines are a bit of a pain though. :no: After i did mine a friend mentioned it is worth using a bit of silicon spray on the base to help stretch the cover back over the new base. It's supposed to help avoid over stretching and tearing the cover.

Looks like all the right bits, but you will need to get some grease. £100 2nd hand is still quite a lot, as they are about £150 new, but the condition looks very good. Interesting tape design.

At least it has sold mate and you can move on. The one thing you can guarantee is that 99% of us will end up selling their car at some point for much less than we paid for it and usually less than what we would have wanted. best of luck.

You have pm

resistors i bought from ebay, but i guess there are other electrical places that would sell them. re selling the car - 1stly, many buyers wouldn't know what you have removed and even if they did or you told them, there is little reason to deter a buyer on the basis of having removed a pretty meaningless bit of kit that was designed mainly for the benefit of other international markets. However, obviously it's your car and you need to decide what you are and are not prepared to do. I orginally bought a brand new Audi SAI (heavily discounted) that was supposed to fit the VRS, but still ended up being a waste of time as the power connector wouldn't fit correctly and also damaged the daft plastic hose clips in the process. I did mine nearly a year ago now and haven't regretted it.

I didn't use this guide, but it is a close match and also covers the N112 and N249 removal, which also makes your engine bay a lot tidier and easier to work on in the future. There are quite a few guides if you do a search on this forum and google. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4893472-DIY-Ultimate-SAI-N249-PCV-EVAP-Delete

When AMD did mine they recommended the middle height setting to start with, which i've kept ever since. The only time i was close to changing this was in the winter in 2010 when the snow was here and thought about getting a bit more clearance.

Great to hear a voice of reason. Had two M3's myself so know that they can be expensive to keep, i had just overlooked/deliberately forgotten about those £1000+ servicing bills. That has at least settled by nervous ebay bidding finger for a while.
