Nope, but by the time you removed the battery and headlamp it can be quicker to remove the bumper which only takes 20mins tops.

Tried one of the ebay kits but would not fit without moving the horns. So then tried the cone filter and surround trick, was not keen on it tbh. I now have carbon goodness, it sounds awesome.

Looks really good

I have a diamond silver Octavia with a colour matched surround.

All sorted, it is now in the bottom slot.

Pipercross Foam Air Filter (Part number is PP1389) to suit mk1 Octavia vRS plus most mk4 Golfs and Leons, has done around 1500miles but in perfect condition. £24 posted Will post a picture later

Was the crankshaft oil seal all ok, you might find it is weaping slighty and allowing oil onto the clutch.

Thanks, sounds like a plan, will have another look tomorrow

Unless I am being thick (lol) it seems to be very tight on the sides but the main problem seems to be the strut at the back is stopping the radio going in far enough. Do I need to chop that out.

Has anyone on here with an aftermarket head unit moved it down to the lower slot please. If so what did you have to do, I tried moving mine again tonight with no luck.

Well was not looking to spend a lot more money on the car but I found another induction kit at a really good price. So tonight got on with fitting it, dead easy to do all in all took me just over an hour, bumper is very easy to remove when you have done it a few times. Was worried about what it would sound like but it is awesome but not as daft as the last kit so well pleased.

Ford Prefect 100E

I found the specialists a lot cheaper than the main brokers, Swinton will not even cover a remap.

You can get new coils under the recall campaign, never worth fitting cheap ones.

Anyone ? I am going to cut the end off, does 18mm sound about right ?

That is what I have arriving this week, really looking forward to fitting it and trying it.

I very much doubt any coilpack will last a lifetime tbh.

That mk1 is bonkers

I have another induction kit to try / fit to mine, it does not have a fitting for the SAI pipe. Does anyone know what size breather filter I would need to fit into the end please.

Thanks for the info

Does the bumper need to come off to remove the headlamp on a 2001 vRS.

Awesome work.

Meths will get the left over gooooey mess off all ok.

Well I have had it a year today, just looked at the mileage wise and since getting it I have done 3507 miles.
