That's an Augusta Westland 169 like the one in the vid below. Under two minutes for pre flight checks and take off. I wouldn't be too concerned about the pilots age. A case of 'don't the coppers look young these days'

Haha no idea. I once had a Citröen Xsara Picasso as a rental. The gearstick was on the dash IIRC. There must have been so many linkages between that and the box and it was like stirring soup in a bucket hoping you didn't drop from 4th to 2nd and ending up face planting the steering wheel 😂 TBH I love the madness of some of Citröen and Renault designs. Even ahead of their time in some cases like with the first mass market people carrier the Renault Espace and Citröen CX. From the 60s the DS is gorgeous and the noughties Avantime was nuts and should have sold more IMO.

@mac11irllet's just say it was far from what could be described as 'refined'. 😂

Oh I was driving a C3 as well then was I? I didn't even bother looking at what model it was after being led to it. I didn't know whether to cry or burst into laughter when I saw the chevrons on the bonnet badge. 'Polo or similar' my arse Mine didn't have roof rails but it had some cushioning on the sides like a Cactus.

I'll come back to this in the morning as there's so much to unpack and pick apart. TL;DR, utter crap.

My last rental was supposed to be a VW Polo or similar and I ended up with a ****röen something or other so I'm going to say a Polo 🤣

Owners handbook may also be useful if you haven't got one http://ws.skoda-auto.com/OwnersManualService/Data/en/Fabia_NJ/10-2014/Manual/Fabia/A06_Fabia_OwnersManual.pdf See also;

Possibly fan speed resistor is borked.

Now that's interesting, Pete. The lower vehicle in the graphic is a saloon version. I was certain they were never fitted to any saloons or hatchback models. I've never seen any roof rails on a saloon ever. I mean there weren't many sold in the UK but still... Maybe that explains the part number difference?

I should have kept it 😭

That was @ivorblueone Skomaz

The OP doesn't have a saloon or hatchback. Read the thread. I was offering options.

Share your wisdom? Impart knowledge 🤷

TBF it seems the previous posts to yours were more about Geopolitics which seems related to the economics side of things.

There are no roof rails (front to back) for a hatch or saloon. They were only available for the estate version for the extended roof length. Looks like your option is limited to roof bars (side to side). I don't know if roof rails from a MK2 would fit or even possibly those from a Seat Ibiza or 9N/ 9N3 Polo. Might be worth looking into if you're good with fab work.

Is that sarcasm?

Possibly water ingress and corrosion between the antenna and the inside connection under the roof headlining.

If there are any there probably won't be any need to precisely measure and drill into the roof which seems like a rather large undertaking what with having to guard against rust etc. At least not if the estate version is like the saloon/ hatch. The mounting points on those models are under rectangular plastic caps. If the OP can check his car then there would, I assume be three each side front to back. On the MkI Saloon and hatch versions there is a black plastic strip running front to back. The covers are on that with a small notch to remove them. Just to the right of the door in this image. Approximate location can be seen in other image of a hatchback

Roof rails were an option on later models IIRC. They're fixed in three points to the roof so adding roof rails isn't an option to you. Your best option would be roof bars between the front doors and the rear doors.

Jeff certainly has a few opinions if you look at his YouTube channel. Some of it borderline conspiracy nonsense IMO. https://www.youtube.com/@JeffTaylor/videos Also, why's he wearing a massive paperclip on his lapel?

OT slightly but I did read this last week ... https://www.glasgowworld.com/lifestyle/food-and-drink/american-wine-expert-reviews-buckfast-send-an-exorcist-4204275

Just to rule it out - you are pulling the adjustment handle upwards aren't you?

Not my words. I did say "this could be interesting if they can scale it up'. No gullibility at all. I'm sceptical but I'd rather be optimistic 😉

Gotta love the optimism on here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas https://www.biogreen-energy.com/syngas#:~:text=What is syngas%3F,other hydrocarbons and condensable compounds.
