These are on Ebay...

I was just wondering will they fit the front of a Fabia 1 vRS? What size discs would these take, 312, 323?

Cheers

[312mm under 16" rims]

There you go...

Fills the rim well I'd say!

£150 is a pretty good deal, I got mine for £100 incl discs n' pads. They were used though.

[Are vRS mats maching washable?]

Cheers...

I've just started @ 30oc

[Are vRS mats maching washable?]

As topic (excuse my spelling)

Does anyone do this?

[What Should I do?]

As for the brakes, the 312mm Octavia vRS/Audi TT/Leon Cupra upgrade is well-proven on here

[Would you swap your VRS for an S3?]

No,

I doubt I would be able to afford the insurance & fuel

[Shell Fuel Save diesel]

I only ever use V-Power. Never had any problems.

Same here, It revs really smoothly and I've done 645 miles since I last re-fueled!

[How often do you see a vRS?]

Very often, in fact these is usually four in the car park I use at Uni (mine being the best)

[PD150 Hybrid (MD376) Owners]

Thats a fair bit down on what Turbo Dynamics claim from the MD376...

[Snow Foaming]

I rang up the dealer who sold us our Mistral power washer and explained that I wanted a lance to fit the our machine. He wasn't really very helpful and advised me, that in his experiance Snow Foam isn't very good and I should not buy a lance, just use shampoo and a bucket he said!

His phone manner was pretty terrible TBH.

I'm still intending to get one from all the opinions posted on here, i'll just have to find another dealer to get it from.

[Miles to a tank]

All Fabia's have the same size tank (9.9 gallon, IIRC)

Mine will fit 57.73L which is 12.7 Gallons. So including the expansion tank the capacity it atleast 12.7G.

[console bush fitting shropshire]

RC motors in Shrewsbury are a VAG specialist, not cheap but they know their stuff.

I use SKH Auto Services, just outside Shrewsbury. I paid £141 for new (OEM) lower arm bushes, anti roll bar links and EGR delete/mod.

I've used SKH for almost everthing i've done to my Fabia!

[vRS tyres]

Bridgestone Turanza ER300

[PastyBoy Badge Replacement GB]

Payment sent

[Snow Foaming]

Thanks for that, I think I'll be buying some foam and a lance tomorrow!

[Labour work...]

I was charged £122.55 when I got my 312's put on

This was for...

2.5 hours Labour @ £40/hour

Brake fluid @ £4.30

VAT £18.25

I also paid £20 the calipers and carriers to be stripped and painted.

£150 for what you describe is a very good price IMO.

[Snow Foaming]

Hi,

I'm considering buying this...

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-lance-various-fittings/prod_371.html

We live up a long dirty farm road and have a Dairy Farm. Consequently my little Fabia and our other vehicles get very dirty, I have been known to spend half a day trying to clean the Landy and am looking at trying make the process a little easier.

I was just wondering if people thought the "Snowfoaming" process will be suitable for my Fabia and even our farm vehicles?

Obviously the vehicle needs to be power washed beforehand to remove surface soil/grit/manure.

Thanks in advance.

[Miles to a tank]

I get between 4-450miles to a tank

4 miles per tank? You're into GPM terratory there! lol

[Anthracite wheels on silver car]

Not the best pictures I know. I did not keep them on the car long, didn't really suit it IMO.

Soon will have 17" Octy Spiders in sparkle silver.

[Seat surgeons]

I paid £760 in December last year for this.

HTH

[205 40 17's or 225 35 17's on Octy spiders ?]

I'm using 215/40/17 once my spiders are refurbed. When I bought them two had 205's the others 215's. The 215's had done a better job of protecting the edge of the rim from stone chips.

[Miles to a tank]

Right, I've just filled up from "range 5 miles" to full incl expansion tank. I got 57.73L of Shell V Derv @ 137.9ppl. Total cost £79.61

Range now says 620 miles. I know I can beat the range if iIm careful, 700 extremely boring miles from 1 tank may be possible!

[Miles to a tank]

I've had £75 in my Fabia, that was before Christmas. My range is currently on 5 miles and I will fill up tomorrow. I think it could top £80.

I use Shell V derv and I fill the expansion tank.

[seat covers for vrs]

These are useless. Avoid.

[washing seat covers]

My entire set was put throught the washing machine over Christmas. They came out spotless, smell good too!
