Hey all, Just a quick hello

Picked up an 08 Octavia VRS CR TDI on Saturday after trading in my much loved Swift Sport.

Hopefully i wont have to many problems to post about on here, but hope to do a few mods in time and i might catch a few of you at the Yorkshire meets

Old and new

Welcome.

Out of interest is it big leap in performance terms (Swift to Octavia)?

Hey

The Octavia pulls much better at higher speed, 125bhp swift - 170bhp and a massive torque increase - but i'd pick the swift for a B road thrash

Hi and welcome aboard.

I saw loads of those Swifts bombing round "the ring" a few weeks ago. They were giving some of the big boys a run for their money round the bends... no doubt to be left in the dust on the next straight...

Hi BTW!

Fabia Scout Specific Parts

Dazstap · 15 hours ago15 hr

Hello all, I am looking for advice from the hive mind please. We have a 2012 Fabia Scout and it needs new shocks, maybe rear springs too. Most places list these items, but they are the standard Fabia items, and I believe that the Scout has a slightly different spec suspension. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the correct items please? Many thanks in advance for advice received. Darren

Jam Nuts Issue (Track Rod End)

joeninho · 31 May31 May

Hi guys, I'm at desperation stage here. Changed bearings on the car. Ball joints also changed. The threads on my TREs were goosed from getting the busy off, so I bought new ones to replace them. My issue is the jam nuts. I have watched/read pretty much everything that's out there, yet these things won't budge. Tried heat, spray etc. Is it definitely clockwise for both to loosen them off you are looking at the hub from the outside of the wheel arch? Lefty loosey when looking from the insid
