  1. Not sure. It's an Elegance model with a lcd display for the temperature and fan speed etc. It's a 2010 model if that helps.
  2. Well after all this, bought the resistor, it's not the same. Any ideas?
  3. Mine does the same. Looked online, asked here and was told it's the resistor under the passenger dash air bag. Bought the part, got on with getting the airbag out, then found on my model (Elegance) it's totally different! Not had time to take it the garage to sort it out. Just check before you buy, though it was only £7. Sorry I can't help anymore.
  4. Thanks Did try looking but obviously under the wrong title.
  5. Not been on for a while but here goes My Fabia Elegance heater fan is playing up. It is working in that it is blowing air, slowly, but when you try to turn it up or down nothing happens. Then, at no given time, it will blow full blast for about 5/10 seconds then drop back to the way it was. This will happen throughout my drive, temperature settings make no difference as it will blow at the appropriate heat setting. Is this something I can fix or is it mechanic time?
  6. Will check and try all of the above. Thanks
  7. I recently had the Bridgestone Weather Control tyres fitted, to the front tyres, to our Galaxy and I'm very impressed with them. They grip very well where I would be spinning up on the old conti 5s. Also on our Fabia I fitted some Imperial all season tyres, on the back, so far so good but not had chance to throughly test them due to lock down.
  8. In the last couple of weeks my gearbox has become hard to change gear, it feels like the oil in the box has turned to treacle. It goes into gears fine with no grinding, so I don't think it's the clutch, but moving left to right when in neutral it is very sluggish. Would an oil change help, but then why would the original oil thicken up? There's no leaks that I can see underneath the car. Any help appreciated before I take it to the garage. The car is a 2010 which has just covered 100000k
  9. That duc looks stunning with those fairings. Were you on the national circuit at Rockingham? I love the in field circuit. Had a k5 some years ago, it's still one of my favorite looking bikes, just couldn't get on with it. Did some trackdays to set it up but just didn't click with it, pity really. Still have some spare fairings if you're interested?
  10. I have just been looking for some events to do later this year and noticed there are a few demo days. These are mtb days, but they are £50 a go! Is this the norm and are they worth it? I'm not currently looking for a new bike but it nice to try new bikes and have a day out. Any experience of these days out there?
  11. Looking........bright Get out on it and take it easy to start with. You'll probably need to tweek things to get them in the right position for you, then nail it
  12. This issue is with a Ford Galaxy I am looking to buy. My VRs has gone. All the tyre sites I've looked at recommend the 101 rated tyre on the 18" wheels, though a 103 on 17s that are fitted to some models. Questioned about the tread depth at the time of looking but told company policy is 3mm and above fine.
  13. I'm looking at a replacement car and the rear tyres are quite low, though still legal tread, but they might be the wrong load rating. As the car is 100 miles away I can't just nip back before finalising the deal. Now as it's a national dealer are they legally obliged to replace the tyres, if I point out the load rating issue. Would it invalidate insurance, points on your license should I get pulled? The tyres are 97 rated but after doing some research the car should have 101 rated tyres. Thinking I might phone the sales guy to check, but then don't want him waffling company policy nonsense to me. Any advice welcome Thanks
  14. Unfortunately I sold my beloved VRS had it from new and very sad to see it go. Expanding family now requires 7 seating capabilities, tried the new Kodaiq it's to small! The fella who bought it got a bargain.
  15. I blame my tinnitus on not wearing ear plugs when I was younger. Use to do lots of riding and clubs in my youth without a thought for my hearing. I wear cheap disposable ones as I'm susceptible to ear problems. Did find they made a difference as my ears did't ring as much with them. Been wearing them to gigs for a few years now. Interestingly my tinnitus has got worse recently and I've not ridden in the last year!
