I've never been to that one. Hainford Hall is a big scrapyard just outside Norwich.

Santa's got a Czech sleigh this year...

Thanks! It's the view from my Granny's house, very admirable. My Mum's is up around the corner but we're facing 90° the other way, and as such cannot see anything in that direction. We can see the Isle of Arran on a clear Summer's day from the upstairs windows sometimes, however.

Bought one of those rubber boot mat thingies. Link is here for you Mk1 hatchback owners who fancy this.

Correcting idiocy.

I mean mechanophilia, are those rolled up spare tartan trousers I can see there next to the serial killers overnight bag?

Nope, it's a big blanket, used to roll the bodies up in.

 

If anyone asks me why I'm carrying it, I just say I'm going for a picnic.

Oh, in which case, no. I had an inkling that's what you meant.

 

Heid oot the gutter, Sep.

I'm envious that you have that little plastic trim round your boot latch. Mine either wasn't built with it or it fell off. Probably the latter

They pull off pretty easily. Designed that way so that someone in the boot can get out by pulling that off then tripping the inside boot release according to a video I saw on t'internet. I can get you the part number tomorrow should you wish to replace it.

Ah yes, that makes sense. I do have the part number but since I'm thinking of getting another jalopy next year I will just leave it. Cheers though, Ryan

Hi, just seen this thread, mine was missing but found one at my local breakers yard  for nothing.

This might help you? I'm missing the same part.
 

Also I'm jealous how awesome and clean his Fabia is. Mine has rust in the front fenders, I really need front mudflaps too, boot liner is currently in my shopping cart too... I also need a new shifter boot

Why thank you.

 

Mine is low mileage and was kept in a slightly less grit-laden (compared to my area) part of Scotland before I purchased it. The front and rear mudflaps were new-old stock from the internet and the boot liner was from a company in England I believe. The gearstick/shifter boot/gaiter was purchased from the internet, it's real leather allegedly and has held up well so far. Hope that helps somewhat.
