From other members' posts previously yes, the pop rivets are standard. There are details posted somewhere (search needed) on the correct pop rivets for reassembly.

Good Morning, and welcome You can't be that much of a 'virgin' if you're on to your second Octy. Hopefully you weren't hurt in the bump and that you get sorted out OK.

Have you looked at the link? The picture definitely does not show a sump gasket of any sort.
I've tried general searches on skoda-parts.com for 'cbzb sump gasket' and 'octavia sump gasket' but nothing shows.
I suggest you try a call to a Skoda dealer in the hope that either their parts people or a mechanic can shed any more light.
BTW how about making one up using RTV? -
I'm not sure if this helps or confuses further but the parts catalogue page for the CBZB engine block and sump HERE only indicates gasket goo and not a formed gasket for the sump.

Item #2 on the parts catalogue page HERE.
There used to be loads of pattern versions on fleabay (I bought one a couple of years back) but not much turning up under the part number today. Try 'Octavia 2011 wheel arch liner' and also take a look at skoda-parts.com and search on the description an part number.

Welcome Steve. I'll be letting my mate know as he used to have a Felicia and also loved it.

Just a thought; have you fingertip checked all round the tyres after a run where you felt the wobble? I'm wondering if you have a tyre balloon developing that expands when hot but settles back on cooling.

I’m looking for the paint code of my red fabia 1.2 (2007)
Your local Skoda dealer should be able to tell you from the registration number or VIN.

You are so bloody lucky... My daughter has had a great view from Lancaster but we e got too much light pollution where we are and I've had too much to drink to drive somewhere dark!
We tried from here on t'Wirral but we're on the Dee side and partway downhill from the sandstone ridge - hence no decent view North plus the usual issues with light pollution. I have seen the Northern Lights in an absolutely spectacular display near Pitlochry some years back but I'd hoped my wife would be able to see them for the first time this time; no luck 😞

Correct.

I believe you're looking for Magic Black, paint code 9910.
You should be able to ask a Skoda dealer to look up the colour code against the registration number and/or the VIN.

That's what I was planning on using. Did he use it through the material or peel it off to get access to the insulation below for the aerosol?
The affected area was hanging off already so he masked off around it, gave the back of the lining a light spray and stuck it back up. He did comment that it is very easy to saturate the material leading to bleedthrough, although I think that bit of knowledge came via his work.

I'll have to ask the SIL which brand of spray he used. IIRC it was a 'trade' brand rather than a retail one.

Our son-in-law used aerosol carpet adhesive on his mk1. Seems to work fine although naturally one has to be careful about overspray.

Parker's valuations (for 140k miles) are:
Private Price£1,900 - £2,520Dealer Price£2,945 - £4,095Based on 140,000 miles with no optional extrasYou would uprate for the lower mileage but a 2k+ uprate feels a little steep. -
Part of the ongoing process of sorting stuff out at my folks' old place, this is a new, unused and unopened Parkside Plasma Cutter model PPS 30 B2 to work with your compressor. It was bought new in April 2022 and has simply sat in the workshop since then.
I've had a look at fleabay and the going rate seems to be 150-170 squid, so for Briskies £100 delivered to UK mainland via Royal Mail.
Payment by bank transfer or PayPal personal payment, please.

You need to know your engine code to match the correct cooling system. If you don't have the service book to hand look in the spare wheel space for the configuration sticker.

The turbocharger has eaten itself
Would this most likely be accompanied by screeching or squealing due to bearing failure?

I can't speak from experience of working on the mechanics (although I have my second O2 4x4) but the parts catalogue page for gearboxes for a 2009 O2 is HERE, and a little navigation will lead you to the other catalogue pages for the rest of the vehicle.
From my understanding the 4-wheel drive system is triggered by monitoring the front wheels for slippage via the ABS system, in which case you would need to be looking at wheel sensors, ABS controller, plus wiring. I suspect there will be a 4x4 controller but I haven't looked.
I know there are others on the forum who have converted mk1 Octys to 4wd so those posts may be helpful starting points.
