Bump at £250?

Hmmm... there is a definite knocking with bumps. and compliance steer is becoming very noticeable. Also, with the car jacked up and the unsprung mass free from the ground, if I lift the wheel with my hands, the top mount deflects a good 5mm with no deflection in the shock/spring assembly. Any idea on the price of new top mounts?

Thanks very much. Looks the same? :S Same gap between the rubber and the turret top?

As far as I'm aware, standard oem mounts out of the factory. 92k miles. No major knocks I know of. Can anyone post a photo of "normal" ones so I know what I'm aiming for with replacement? Cheers TR

So I went out thus morning to investigate a knocking from the front suspension and some overly compliant bump steer effects, and found this. Both sides the same, and looked pretty knackered in my opinion. Just looking for confirmation that they kaput before I go about replacing them. Cheers TR

Am after a front grill. The upper assembly at the front of the bonnet. PM if you've got one available. Thanks.

Interested in the decat pipe. Any MOT/emission issues when installed? Got any more exhaust for the end of it? :p

I'll take it. PM me payment details

Driving to university this morning, all seemed well. Until I came to a stop at the lights as I came off the motorway and couldn't select 1st gear at all. I don't mean it wasn't liking it - it physically would NOT move in to gear. I pulled away in 2nd, and tried all the other gears up and down the box - no problems. Next time i stopped, still couldn't get first. When i parked, (which including reverse, no issues) i turned the engine off and managed to force the gear stick in to 1st, although it didn't feel engaged properly. My initial thoughts are the dog clutch on 1st has stumped it, but this seems like a strange failure - is it something that is known? Or is this something simple that I'm missing? Thanks

Bump. Bargain at £300? Make me an offer?

Dump Valves, Wastegates, Recirc Valves are Blow Off Valves all different. They do different jobs. As standard these cars run a Recirc Valve on the intake and a Wastegate on the Exhaust.

There seem to be plenty of guides for the Octavia II (about poggybacking or using an unused fuse holder in the fuse box) but I can't seem to find any for the Octavia I I want to wire in a cigarette lighter or permanent charger somewhere under the steering wheel and run a cable up to the right hand side air vent. Any ideas where to grab some electricity from for this? Cheers
