Bump Price has changed £5500 ono I am going to be away until the 12/4 and on that weekend I will fully valet the car re-install the balero radio.

There is no finance on the car and it has 12 months MOT and tax until 08/13 The mileage is now 124500 ish

I fitted my RCD310 to day and the front is smaller than my Balero, I have a pre FL but with FL interior. Any ideas on where to get a new facia? -

I am thinking of getting this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Fabia-Octavia-Yeti-AutoDAB-Digital-DAB-Car-Radio-Interface-Adaptor-/350570962299?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item519fa85d7b&_uhb=1#ht_3146wt_1378 they sold it in Halfrauds but it doesn't seem to be there any more, just need to add a decent aerial. -
I have a fuel card and use my vrs for work and I get paid mileage from my company, I do still have to pay for the fuel but it doesn't have to come directly out of my pocket and I have no benefit in kind because I pay for everything. I get £0.40 for the first 10k and £0.25 for every mile after and my tax code has been adjusted to 8105 because of the short fall of £0.05 my company don't pay for the first 10k. D

I lived there for about six months a few years ago and its a good place for a few beers and during Christmas there is usually lots of office parties, 3hrs15mins will be only if you drive like a granny, I have done Amsterdam in 2hrs

I think the FL has the dimming built into the ECU as my LE has the same ECU and has a setting to turn them on/off if fitted

I ran my common rail Mitsubishi L200 on B100 with no problems, just had to change my fuel filter after a few 100 miles as bio is a natural de-greaser and cleans all the crap deposited by dino, only way to run on pure veg is to have it pre-heated to make it viscose enough before it enters the injectors. Older cars are less likely to be able to run on bio/veg as it eats rubber seals fitted in earlier engines.
