Hey! and Crikey thats going to take some work!

Thanks! I'm probably sorted for a pickup now.. (although not a Skoda!) so a Fun would have to be in good condition to get my interest...

The felicia saloon ones will fit if you can get them.. although some of the tabs etc will need to be modified so not a straight bolt on.

I'm looking for a fun again! if anyone knows of a decent one (In good condition, ideally not needing welding!) please tag / message me

Thanks! added to the list! Working through the paperwork at the moment.. so will see if that's mentioned.. or (and I guess more likely!) add it to the to-do list

Hey people of Briskoda! After many years in a Dacia Duster (which I did like) I've stepped back into a Skoda in the form of a 2010 4x4 Seems in good condition, some bodywork issues that need a bit of a tweak but everything works and its been looked after. As I'm new to Yeti ownership is there anything I should do/check asap? Thanks!

Hi Brisky peeps! I'm looking at a roomster to replace my fun (which has been off the road a while and I have no time available to give the love it needs.. :( :( ) Budget is the lower end of the market and I think I can get: Diesel (economy + power) Cruise (must have imho) Sunroof (everyone says good things about them!) Ideally roofrails too... Oh and a scout if possible!!! I feel if I want everything I may be looking a while.. but is there anything else spec wise thats good to look for? Also I'm not too sure what to look for when inspecting one.. obviously the EPC / CEL lights.. but anything else? Are the wires to the rear hatch breaking a common problem? Any advice greatly received thanks!

I believe the bully nets are pretty generic anyway (not made for specific vehicles). (In fact thinking about it.. I probably have one somewhere lol! - ordered from ebay USA and much cheaper than UK options.. never fitted it though!)

Yep they are a pain in the backside! I was sure I had posted a warning on the general issues thread but can't see it there now :( good luck!

As per PM, mine are probably about that. Rears rub a bit, but I'm not a fan of tyre stretch, so probably easily to remedy. I've not done anything else to the suspension other than shorter springs.

The locks have a weird plastic over them. as a 'make do' until you can get replacements that are not bashed/worn you may be able to cut off a lot of this plastic and free up the mechanism a bit. (this helped on my old fun, but beware that there is no way to undo this except buying new lock mechanisms)

Time + swearing. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/276244-ferrets-fun-with-pics-and-questions/?p=3277010 I'm currently trying to figure out the reverse process lol!

Thought I'd plonk this here: http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/skoda_felicia_fun Apparently 340 of em left on the road! (110 Sorn) Surprisingly higher than I expected tbh.

Do you want low or adjustable low? These springs will make it pretty low (yet still usable) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-FELICIA-FUN-PICKUP-PICK-UP-35-30mm-LOWERING-SPRINGS-/170872796694?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27c8cff616

If you end up looking at funs then the things I'd look for: - Has it been looked after? A lot of these have had a rough life as they are pickups! - Rust. They do like a bit of tin-worm. Sills (the body kits trap water), front wings, rear shock mount areas (can be seen in the bed) as well as patches on the doors and tailgate. - Engine can use oil, valve stem seals are a common problem (not too expensive to have done though). Overall they are great though Sky (one of the club insurance company's) sorted me.
