Hi Everyone

I stay in Orkney in the far north of Scotland and have just ordered a new Octavia 1.4Tsi Elegance in silver with the 18" Golus alloys. Anyone else have one and how do you find it?

I only want good news!

Thanks guys

Rob, I use Alan Bradley in Tankerness who does a decent job and doesn't charge a fortune. I stay in Kirkwall btw. Most of the garages here are ok and won't bulls**t you as it's too small a place.

Spoke to your brother just last week Denis

2023 Fabia issues (heater fan resistors, fuel flap, reverse light, brake light)

briscaF1 · Tuesday at 15:221 day

Hi, Partner acquired this 2023 1.0 Fabia last year. So far, the resistor pack for the fan has packed (!) up and the actuator for the fuel flap needed replacing. These were done under warranty. She's had the car back from its MOT and warranty work and now there's a light on the dash saying "check brake lights." The light on the nearside is out and there's only one reversing light, on the offside. Are the rear lights all LED? No bulb I can change? If it is a bulb, how do I get to it? Are th

Camber adjustment

smithysmoo · 1 hour ago1 hr

So had both rear control arms replaced as the bolt was seized so I couldnt get the tracking done..now the tracking place say they can't get the camber inside spec because there is no adjustment for that and it will be OK as toe is good now.. Have attached the results.. Is the camber adjustment not this bolt in the pic..(which stands a chance is seized aswell)

Fabia Scout Specific Parts

Dazstap · 17 hours ago17 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
