It's got such a low mileage it'll be worth it, especially from a dealer. either get some more money together or look for a cheaper one with more miles. Dont be put off by mileage either as long as the clutch feels good and the turbo isnt making any strange noises it'll be fine. Mine was on 135k when i sold it and it felt awesome to drive even with knocky drop links needing done. Was the water pump done with the cam belt? important if it hasn't! they like to fail without warning.

Haha do it... balls to the misses. Luckily my misses is more excited about it than more. More of a "we've been running 2 expensive cars" cheers!

I'm pretty sure its the only one in Dorset on the road I've never seen one anyway. cheers! I've been tempted into a zetec engine conversion but I'm not sure, I kinda like the charm of the CVH.

So after selling the Fabia for its own good since i wasnt using it I got myself something right at the other end of the scale. half restored XR3i. everything has been replaced, repainted and in some cases made better. only thing left for me to do is sort out the niggles like some of the interior parts, electrics and a new clutch which is a piece of **** in these. no decent pictures as of yet since I'm so busy with work. Running 2 expensive cars is going to be...expensive.

He used to be a member and he used to have a vRS but it was written off a while back and wanted another one. He was such a great bloke too knew everything about it which is great as i've had some proper tire kickers and people that didnt even drive the thing coming to offer me stupid offers. just goes to show you need patience. cheers! -

PlastiDip Alloy Wheels?
pikachu24 replied to CumbriaFabiaVRS's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
I've used plastidip a fair few times on my own and other peoples cars. Got to say i wouldnt use it on wheels. they'll peek and chip far to easly and every day use. It's only been done by plastidip to show how strong it is. -
You've done the fly and clutch already then when you do the turbo its practicaly a zero risk car! You won't get your money back by selling and may risk it all over again buying another car.

Not ideal :( we all know it'll come to us one way or another, its just a case of when! What's your mileage out of interest? good luck getting it sorted.(always a good excuse to get a bigger turbo!)
