went and got the new door lock motor and then tried to get to old one first prob get door card off with door closed not an easy job lol and then smash the crap out of the old motor still not bloody open will carryon smashing it to pieces tomoz in the daylight to get to mechanism to open the bloody thing lol

the joy of owning a skoda lol

p.s they have revised the motor as the old one failed on deadlock due to crap design allowing water in.

Not something ive done but a passing motorist(idiot) aerodynamicly modified my fabia by knocking my drivers door mirror off .....

The other car came towards me on my side of the road and didnt moove far enough over (i would of been in the ditch if i moved over) and it didnt stop...

I didn't actually do anything to a Skoda but I chucked a load of spare parts into my skip.

Washed, new tyres fitted on the front, number plate holders fitted. Checked yet another possible place for the screenwash pipe to have popped off and yet again it wasn't there.

Probably upset the experts, but gave it a gentle spray with my new Halfords power washer. Have to say, at £34.99 it seems to work pretty well.

In my defence, I only had a few minutes spare, and just wanted to get the worst of the cr@p off it :yes:

Sarah

Popped my turbo :(

Definned the airbox and hoovered my air filter (Pikey or what!)

Drove it briskley

Mine got its first waxing of the year

Washed it on Sunday after a drive in the Yorkshire Dales

N249 system removed:

Throttle body cleaned and reset.

at work this morning, swapped the spare wheel, with new tyre, onto the front o/s, swapped the n/s/r wheel, with new tyre fitted yesterday, to the n/s/f, put the fronts on the back, good tread Toyos FYI, and new Michelins on fronts

also repaired, again ! the rear washer pipe at the back of the motor behind the tailgate trim, little advice to anybody who does this, for ease of trim removal for the next time you do this, there will be a next time i assure you, smear some grease on the metal clips when you refit the trim, it comes off a treat the next time

also had the valeter give the car a good scubbing, first wash of the year

Looked at it and thought, "I really should wash the car soon..."

New pollen filter, and a quick wash.

Mocal oil cooler installed!
