Hi, all !

I have just bought my wife a late 2002 Fabia 1.4 16V (Comfort model, all the 'Toys' !!) - having had VW (and other German cars) all my (our) driving llives, we decided that another model from the VAG stable would be be better suited than Korean or Japenese - better the devil you know !!

Unfortunately, not off to a promising start, as we'd only gone a few miles down the road when we got an Engine Management System (EMS) light on the dash - so it's back to the garage on Monday (hope this is not a sign of things to come !!).

I am now going to scour the forums to see what we may have let ourselves in for ! - Cheers !

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

justas1982 · 2 hours ago2 hr

I was never happy with the performance of the original brakes. The braking efficiency felt poor, and in wet weather the discs would quickly develop surface rust. When braking in damp or rainy conditions, the noise made it sound like I was driving an old car with worn-out brakes. After 50,000 km, I decided to replace the brakes. I installed Zimmermann discs and pads on the front axle. Braking performance didn't improve noticeably, but the annoying noise in wet weather is finally gone. Now I only

Octavia Scout Mk3 Rear Suspension

wallacebob · 25 January, 20215 yr

I have always thought my rear suspension a little soft when towing or even with a full tank. I fitted rubber assisters and this has helped hugely but I would like a little more permanent solution. How can I tell if springs such as these - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lesjofors/9735347 are heavier duty? It does say for towing. Would fitting new shocks (Bilstein B6?) help as well? I suppose crawling under to see what shocks I have, and what springs I have may a good idea anyway? I think the

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Odinson · 12 June12 Jun

Hi all, finally got around to getting some new shoes ordered for the girl. I'm getting a set of Hankook Ventus Evo K137 235/45 ZR18 98Y XL put onto the Pegasus alloys. I was considering changing out the locking wheel nut for just a regular nut? Which then prompted the second question, I picked up a set of Alcar 9021 17inch Steelies for Winter Tyres, do I need to run seperate nuts due to the alloy v steel nature? I was looking on autodoc to try and order some nuts as I didn't know how often they
