Diesel Monte's 2001 Skoda Fabia "Project vRSDI"
Justy!!! The subaru one before they borrowed the old swift body?? What state is it in

So I went and bought a Jaaaag
Personally I'd love it to be a flop to force them to change their design language to something more coherent and classy... But it will probably sell well to the usual BMW 'look at me' brigade...

So I went and bought a Jaaaag
The front end / grille has been nicked from a Dodge SUV and squashed... as for the back it seems to be off a previous gen Civic R. Horrid regardless and very, very poor design (in fact I wouldn't even call it 'designed...' But then Domagoj Dukec has said in the past he doesn't really care what people think of his designs... so he clearly holds his customer base in high regard - NOT!

Strange leak which has me confused
On our Kodiaq the leak we had was from the windscreen wiper seal - where it joins the rear hatch glass, so it might be worth checking that as well and whether there is any water behind the hatch trim.

Car key
Extend the key and split the case of the fob using a coin or screwdriver and pop in a new battery. Simple If the fob doesn't work after that re-synch it by pressing a button and then unlocking the door with the key within a minute.

If not Touranzas, then what?
I have falken azenis fk510 on the Kodiaqs and zeix 310 on the swift and so far haven't been able to fault them. They've proved quiet, stable and grippy in all weathers

Used Car Prices
Your not wrong there. I keep looking at used Kodiaqs as I still fancy an SEL instead of our SE but for the same reg, or older and similar mileage the used prices are still about a third higher if not more than we paid just over a year ago I know I thought we got a bargain at the time but current prices seem to still be mad.

Fails to start when facing up-hill.
I wod be thinking loose connection somewhere and the starter button would be my first port of call. I know it sounds daft but sometimes just the inclination of it could affect whether a good contact is made within it.

OEM Screenwash?
I've used Halfords own Berry concentrated screenwash stuff in Skoda's with fan jets since 2001 (Fabia, Octavia and Kodiaq) with no issues whatoever.

Removing marble
I think if you accidentally put coins in the card slot they end up inside. I'm pretty certain it'll be pretty impossible to get them out without breaking it.

Paint code

Known Vulnerabilities
Yep those are the ones we have but I paid less than shown there. My mum has Ultion equivalents.

If the house side of things worries you fit new locks - three star diamond ones to TS007 - there are plenty available these days at about £30 to £40 per lock

2006 octavia 4x4 "resonates" under load @ 23-2500rpm
Yep you should be fine to drive it but it will get worse over time - we did about 30,000 miles in ours between it starting faintly and us finally getting rid of it when various issues meant the cost of repair was higher than the value of the car. The post below should help:

This is definitely the rearmost propshaft rubber doughnut coupling failing. Cost is about £100 for the coupling alone from various suppliers but Skoda will only sell you a full propshaft at about £800 all plus fitting.

Is there a way to look-up which option came factory-installed with the car?
Just spat out a list as far as I can remember so I screen shot the chat and made my own record.

Just go to the Skoda website, open up a chat and ask on there - you'll need your VIN No but it worked for me
