  1. How much would it be all fitted up to a Fabia?
  2. After having been insured with flux for about 7 years I left today. They wanted £640 for my renewal and for a variety of reasons I've been too busy to look into other quotes. I'm 30, 8 years clean license, 7 years ncb, live in a postcode which is probably fairly high risk. Needed to renew today so I called a few places just before 5. Christ knott couldn't match the flux quote but the lad at brentacre came back with a quote at £550 fully comp. Normally I'd call flux and get them to match it but brentacre were offering a policy which doesn't actually have a mileage limit, allows me to do any mods which don't increase the bhp figure without informing them, replaces mods like for like, homestart breakdown cover, legal cover, courtesy car, has no-claims protected, key and screen insurance, a 90 day international fully comp insurance allowance and a lower excess than flux. The policy conditions are worth changing for alone. I've never had a problem with flux but I guess if they are that keen to keep my custom they could have offered a better rate.
  3. Cheers dude, I expected that to be the case. Don't want them poking out. Always hit them with the hacksaw.
  4. There is a laguna splitter which I've seen fitted before and looked ok.
  5. Is the width of the bars the same on the Octavia ?
  6. I've read a thread somewhere about another vag heated seat catching fire and vw sorted it out after a lot of nagging... Seat wasn't wet first though.
  7. Have a look at the brembo max discs. Just got some but not fitted yet.
  8. What a swine. Poor form. Do you know which garage the guy was a techie at?
  9. This seems to be a common issue, I remember reading a lot of articles about a certain gearbox oil or additive which seemed to sort out the notchy crunchy shifts?
  10. Hi John, they will do pretty much anything you want. Ask for James if you go in and say Dougie with the fabia sent you along. He will do a spray finish with a powder clearcoat or just straight powder. They are very good - That's why I felt compelled to post the review.
  11. I had an email address for a Czech company who would do custom aluminum adapters down to 15mm with steel inserts for about 170quid a set. Still have my staggered rc 41s freshly refurbed with black centres and polished lips that I haven't got round to fitting. Will probably just sell them as I like the spiders now they're refurbed.
  12. But 100 times more likely to get keyed I'd imagine - happened to my mate's brother when he parked his new s3 over 2 bays.
  13. Solved, just needed another half turn on the bottom o/s drop link nut.
