Hmm wonder where it'll be on an Octavia.

I'm tempted to chop or flatten sill just to raise it another few mm after all most are anyway, I'll see if it annoys me or not in a week or so

like this 

My silencer box is too long to be that far forward,

think my is 18 or 20 inch by 6" with a 3" bore

Back from my mates body shop, over the moon he's done an awesome job, colour match is spot on,

Most of front and rear bumpers sprayed as was just repairing corners and headlights polished

Was like this before, had scrapes that had been poorly covered with what looked like tipex lol made it look even worse

Now looks like this

Also changed the rear wiper blank for a proper Perspex one instead of rubber

And fitted a Skoda badge to airbag

Gleaming !! Car looks great

Well done Trev!! So when do you start converting my Fabia to 1.8T? (Not the white one LOL).

front bumper doesnt look like it sits flush on the near side :p

 

haha only kidding, to be honest ive never seen one sit perfectly after the bumper has been removed once! hahah

 

 

looks good!

damn i was hoping to jump in to see how these seats feel! :P

Cam belt day today until rain and wrong tensioner stopped play, good to see it had been changed in 2012 as I had no service history, and had a metal impeller water pump fitted, though that was leaking slightly so good job I'm changing it,

See the pink stains

Now waiting for a new kit from euro to continue play tomorrow, got one coolant pipe to change and battery box to change for an enclosed type, and a few other engine bay goodies this week

What was wrong with the tensioner? Excess metal fouling the engine mount?

The actual tensioner was the bolted version and the adjuster was bigger and holes didn't line up, they have stopped making this kit now apparently cause of problems, getting a continental kit for same price which was good of them

What was the price difference? I'm going to be getting it next week so don't want to get the one you got first time. Managed to get the loom out the dash on mine, what a ball ache.

Did you order the IDA kit first time?

It's the only one they list on website, I went through eBay where there getting rid of old stock apparently, Strange I just looked and they only seem to list a ina one for £148 and doesn't include water pump, so looks like I've had a right result

Yeah thats all i could see. Went on ebay and you can get a Gates full kit for ~£90?? Thats with pump too. Item number 221297008723
