Yeh 6 till 2 for earlies and 2 till 10 for lates, more money though so cant argue, i will do bud, im sure it will be become clear tomorrow morning ha

Cheers mate, ill give it a go tomorrow morning before the 2pm till 10 pm late shift begins, save me now!!!

Is this easier to do with the door carrier out or if it just a matter of keep trying until it catches right ?

Anyone?

Hi guys I finished replacing my window regulator today and it all works hunky dory!! however before i saw the guide on here i was using the haynes manual that told me i had to remove the door handle, which i didn't have to in the end. and now when i go to re fit it, it springs back fine until i add the little block used to replace the lock on the passenger side. it works fine but having it not spring back as its meant to is going to do my head in!! Anyone know whys its doing this? the central locking and handle on the inside works fine.

At a younger age insurance is a pain, we all know as we have been there. some places do 10 month policies which can be good, you pay for 10 months and at the end get a one NCD, so can work out for the bets for getting those policies down quicker in the future.

probably just get the one in Yeovil then that I linked, could probably replace the rivets with some pop rivets.

That's weird it said it didn't fit before, closed one in stock for me is in bridewater, a go 30 miles so may just go with the original one, will it be difficult to fit it it's just the regulator?

Thats weird then, i would of thought all of them would of been the same, ive got the comfort, im sure there isnt any difference between the elegance and sport ​

Just had a look and it say its not compatible with my car, well that what euro car parts says.

Hey guys thanks for the replies, is this the type of regulator i would need, found one on euro car parts, can could get tomorrow so would be far easier like you said then buying the repair kit. im an aircraft fitter so wouldn't be a issue fitting but you know how it goes, anything to save time and energy is better haha. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Skoda_Fabia_1.4_2004/p/car-parts/car-body-parts-and-car-exhaust/body-shop/window-regulator-and-window-winders/?492780151&1&81d49af8211678a8512d8d78195b10691ca80342&000374

Hi guys my passenger side window just stoped working in the down position, when I press the switch the motor makes a noisE so it a getting power, but it sounds like loads of little bits of plastic are bouncing about, Anyone tell me what the problem is and how to go about fixing it or at least getting the window up for the time being? Cheers in advance James

Hi guys, for a while now when i look down at the gear stick at night with my lights on, i notice light coming through from under the stick. as you can see in the pictures. Just wondering if you could tell me what its from or for? I was thinking it could be a ash tray light that wasn't put in or something? Cheers James

Thats the app bud https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque&hl=en_GB Heres the ebay link for one very similar to mine http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Mini-OBD2-ELM327-V1-5-Bluetooth-Car-Scanner-Android-Torque-Auto-Scan-Tool-/231469130079?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e4a2a15f Hope this helps

You can pick up handy scanners on eBay for OBD, and also but a app for Android and i would of thought apple as well (don't quote me on that though) which enables use to scan for fault codes on your mobile. Always handy when you can be arsed to go and get a laptop I use mine all the time and can honestly say it was the best £8 all in ive spent in a long long time.

Cheers for the review bud

Haha thats very true

haha true true, ever since the great halford advice i had one day i do try and avoid anything from there. they once insisted that a round air filter was correct for my car even after they saw my current one wasnt and that it was seating in the housing which isnt round, all because there computer told them that!! idiots

Yeh both fully synthetic, to be honest im probs going to buy the castrol, as dont particually trust halfords with anything

haha, i know its the right spec for my car, just wondering if its any better than say halfrauds discount stuff.

Hi guys, Went for the weekly slog round ASDA with the misus for the food shopping, when i see Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 (4litres) on offer for £20. just about the time i was going to service the car. Anyone used Magnatec? is it any good? Cheers

sets not coming with gaskets is bonkers, haha what is advised for just a basic head gasket change? head gasket, head bolts?
