I have no idea on the Monte Carlo.
If there is no 'train weight' on the VIN plate then the Manufacturer never submitted one during 'Type Approval' and no tow bar or towing device should be fitted.

Just checked ours and it says zero.....

If you want some really light wheels take the 15" 'manhole cover' Audi A3 alloys. They are forged and that's why the material thickness is less then castes ones. One wheel weights only 5kg without tire.
I've a set of these that I use as winter wheels, a really nice light wheel.

Just tried it with ours, a 105 TSI, and there's a little bit of a chattering noise that does seem to come from the wastegate as the revs drop.
Not very pronounced and I had to listen for it and not loud enough for me to worry about it.

I use the genuine Skoda cross bars, I just make sure the roof is clean befire fitting.
Only problems I've had is a slight water leak on the front door that I put down to the outer door seal being pushed back by the clamps and the feet leaving marks in the roof (that go after a few days) when the rack has been on for a week or so.

Ian had a look and measured up for a set of templates, he was then going to make a pre productition set for The Plumber to have a look at and make sure they were OK
As to how long a prodution ready version is ready I can't say as thats out of my hands, but should'nt take too long.

Stupid work pc throwing up a double post.....
-
also asked about the tow bar the service manager said no problems
Thats good to know, I was told no when looking into one for ours earlier on this year.
-
Went across this morning and Ian's had a look.
-
Just had a chat with them and I'm heading across in the morning.
-
I might be able to help out, where in Bolton is it?
-
The Monte, like the VRS, is not type approved for a tow bar so you can't legally fit one.
-
I also saw quite a few Skodas there too. I briefly met you Yorkshire Pud, met Dbg, vrsadz and nice to see Phill. I saw your 106 Skinnyman, it looked very nice.
A nice way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday morning.Maybe for the next one we could organise a time and a place to meet up before heading into Malton?
Skinnyman, nice 106 btw, noticed you leaving.

Forecast for tomorrow is fine but cool, should be a good do.

He said to use a 7 way bypass relay fed off fused feed off the back of num 47 on your fuse box.
-
My neighbour fits towbars, I'll ask him today.
I would have thought that the bypass relay was a generic part suitable for any car.
No they're not, some cars even need to go back to the dealer for a software update after having one fitted.

Turn your light off and see if the battery holds it's charge.

Usually a good turn out, anyone else going?
-
Due to it having a flat battery, I had to phone up the RAC to get it started.
Cooling fan stuck on so it looks like I will be phoning them tomorrow as well.

Cracking day out, thanks for organising. :yes:

Cleaned the car and charged up the batteries for the camera, see you all in the morning. :yes:

Thanks for the comments on the Escort pic,
What post processing are you doing as even jpegs from a DSLR will still need a bit of work to get the best out of them.
Hope you don't mind but I've had a quick play with this one,
Nothing fancy just a mess with levels and a bit of a crop.
The Exif data in the pic shows you had a shutter speed of 800th/sec, try using 125/250th/sec for panning to get some blur, both of those Escort pics I posted the shutter speed was set at 90th/sec.
Relax, be smooth, don't snatch at your shutter release and don't stop panning when you take the picture.
-
The only advice I can give is get out there and practice, then practice some more.
I like to get up nice and close, with a wide angle and flash
Not so slowly sideways by J.F.T, on Flickr
Even using the onboard flash can get good results, just bringing out the highlights
What camera are you using btw, what manual options do you have?
Sometimes it's better to prefocus and have the exposure set in manual.
Learn the limits of your kit and see what works for you.

Colour Edition missing wheel nut cover remover
in Škoda Citigo
Posted
Just a quick heads up to any Colour Edition owners that haven't check their spare wheels yet and found its missing the correct tool to remove the wheel nut covers, just checked mine and its missing.
A quick search of eBay found them at just over 2 quid, so ordered one off there rather than heading to the dealers.
