If the rear holes are difficult to get to I bet the dealer was quoting for removing the seat to get at them and fit the screws... can you reach them by getting the seat up to it's highest position and all the way back using a right angled or flexible shaft screwdriver?

Certainly looks like it has the facility to take a cover...

I'd be soooo tempted to feed that back to the dealer and point out to them how ridiculous their pricing was / is...

Does the car have tow bar preparation? As that looks decidedly like a tow bar cut out...

Sounds like bull**** re the cams to me...

You could try gentle application of heat with a heat gun... I've done that before on a honda civic and it worked wonders

Still available from stock and pipeline though if you can find one...

Hyundai i20N??

My guess is it will be the same as other skoda... So there will be two small rectangular covers on the interior hatch trim that can be popped off to reveal three nuts. Undo those and the light unit should come off.

Yes it does both and works fine on our Kodiaq which we regularly use on ferries to and from Belfast. One thing to be wary of though is that it automatically resets both to 'on' when you next unlock. So if you lock the car on the ferry and then realise you've forgotten something and unlock and open the car to get it you'll need to turn the ignition on and untick the box again...

Try looking here (you might need to adjust year etc. for your car https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/SUP/851/8/857/857041 It looks like it comes with the motor so it might be cheaper to source a second hand motor and butcher that for the part.

Might be worth checking the propshaft couplings but at that low mileage they're probably ok. You'll soon hear if not as there'll be a drone at 2300rpm in top gear.

From memory the glass comes with that part attached or at least can do something you can manage without the part number... Edit... Or is that the part on the mirror motor that the glass fits onto??

That's a cracking find... We loved ours!!

Might be worth having a look underneath and seeing if it's just seized up or stiff.

I have had limited mileage policies on the MX5 for ages... There is usually a tolerance of a few hundred mes but some insurers also look at the average over the past few years so if your under one year you can go over the next. They sometimes ask re odometer mileage but also often look at MOT records

There are certainly no issues with onboard storage of hydrogen in vehicles these days... Kevlar tanks and the like are far safer than normal petrol tanks.

Why?

Yes IGET... Immingham Green Energy Terminal... Aimed at converting liquified Ammonia to hydrogen.

In what way other than the early nylon cam gear and oil pump drive issues? Both were resolved via modified parts resulting in a pretty reliable engine that was used by a multitude of other low volume manufacturers.

The Capri may not have been much cop but it did at least have some style and the Essex and Cologne V6s sounded lovely. Looking closely the new one does have some styling elements from the old one... Such as rear side window line and bonnet profile but I agree they should have used a new name.

I'm pretty certain they'll be spots as most jap cars of that age had them in a 'pod' under the bumper and I recall a similar grille with spots being available for my 1990 Mitsubishi Colt.

Good shout on the Ignis... Same platform as the swift and I'd forgotten about them...

A couple of suggestions for you based on family experience... Suzuki Swift Ford Fiesta Honda Jazz

There's another flexible doughnut coupling at the front near the gearbox. Did you check that?
