How much for the front brake pads please?

Are these calipers any good or is it better to go to Skoda / TPS for some OE Parts? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-OCTAVIA-VRS-RS-TURBO-1-8-PAIR-OF-REAR-BRAKE-CALIPERS-GENUINE-BRAND-NEW-/271429232283?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AOctavia|Cars+Type%3ARS+1.8+T&hash=item3f3271669b

I will never understand people who.... Rush to Pull out at junctions in front of you almost cutting you up and then prcoeeding to drive slower than the speed limit by at least 10 mph

Did you read the original post? It was to gain some extra space in the rear on one trip and then replace them after

either peanut butter for a cheap go or Gtechniq do some permanent trim restorer which is supposed to be excellent: Review: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=171448

Cannot see the video, maybe its because you need a few more posts before you can put one up? Try puttihng it on youtube then posting a link to it

How much for the alternator wiring to battery please?

Thanks to all for the help. I have had the alternator off today and replaced the regulator. The old one looks pretty knackered to be honest. Cables look fine so just going to replace fuse box and be done with it. Hopefully that should be problem sorted

Thanks for the help guys, I don;t know specifically it is the alternator failing. but i have to fix the car in a hurry (long trip next weekend) and can't get it to a garage. So by replacing the alternator regulator / wiring / fusebox Im pretty much covering all bases and hoping to keep this car as reliable as possible because I like to look after it and keep it as original as possible. The link posted above by OCTAVIA 4x4 is very helpful though, thanks

Offer withdrawn sorry bud, realised i didn't need it in the end

I hope so, just trying to find a the wiring loom for the alternator and not to get raped by skoda for the price of one.

How much for the fuse box on top of battery and all attahced wires please?

How much for the fuse box on top of battery and all connecting wires please?

No worries, thanks for trying

Thanks, appreciate it. I have had a brief look at connections as a matter of course and everything seems pretty good aside from the obvious melting

I understand that, but I don't know where to get one. Do you know any reputable suppliers that aren't primarily based on ebay? I shall check this also, thanks very much Do you know the part number?

My alternator has been overcharging my battery recently so since have discovered this problem i have stopped driving it. Upon inspeoction Ive found a the fuse box on top of the battery has become very hot and melted some of the plastic around it Upon doing some googling, you can replace the regulator on the alternator but Im having trouble finding a genuine new part. I have a valeo alternator product code 030903023j Is this a viable change do you think or should i just do the full alternator, just not sure its worth changing the whole thing if all thats wrong is the regulator. Any help welcome. Thanks

If i was to replace Shocks and Springs up front what would cost be and is there anywhere online that does them or is it dealer only jobbie? I would like to compare with the prices of lowering kits but im thinking i would prefer to keep it standard really but just want to weigh up the options
