Offsetting BRISKODA's environmental impact, or planting trees for posts
nice one. i may add a few trees to the brisky forest. when its matured a bit, you can go and put some retro stickers on some trees, and install a "Brisky Cyclists" off road cycle track

Lancashire driver walks away unhurt after flipping his Skoda
*goes to check the "cars breaking" section for new entries... on a serious note though, hope the lad is actually okay. be it a freak occurrence genuine accident (they do happen..) or incident which caused an over correction and thus... or, a classic "watch this".... "ohhhhh shhiiii...." moment of talent exceedence, it will still be an experience he wont forget for a long time. i know the mk1 furby has unfortunately reached that point where its a yoof accessible cheap performance hatchback, but its still sad to see another one end up gone.

Octavia VRS Mk1 loosing water somewhere ?
check the oil filler cap for "mayonaisse" too - that would indicate not good news. id wager the water pump though tbh. or a spilt pipe somewhere you cant see.

Large family car recommendations
yeah, even with just 2 kids, i reckon my next change is going to be an estate... i remember going on honeymoon in 2013 though, and lying swmbo's and my suitcases and bags down in the boot of my mk1 octy. nothing else anywhere in the car. my sister dropped us to the airport so we could leave my car at hers. put the stuff into the boot of her ix35 - had to stand the cases up, and 1 carry on bag went in the back with me on the journey. her partner now husband was shocked when he saw the space difference was so obvious. they have a santa fe now and 2 kids. its wedged when they come down for a visit.

ex insignia owner... bag of ****e that means i will never buy another Vx/opel vehicle. octavia swallows everything you can throw at it, but if you want a bit more leg room superb.

New Cyclops road junction!

Which clutch kit for a 1.9 TDI 130bhp 6 speed
sorry, i never came back this! gearbox code is FMH - 02m series gearbox engine code ASZ oh and LUK or Sachs are what you want quality wise. and do the fly wheel and clutch together. dont do like some muppet who owned my previous insignia and only do the clutch, because youll end up, like me, replacing both again when the fly wheel dies.

Help
yup, needs a vcds plygin and the ecu to dash needs to be coded to say hello properly same thing happens if you replace the instrument cluster.

Apus Alloy wheels seized on......
i had to sit on the side of a motorway one day and kick the **** out of the wheel on my insignia after a puncture. its the galvanic reaction btween the alloy and the hub/brake disc causes it. my tyre guy says its constant with them.
