Hi Jed.

Thank you for the welcome.

Yes I guess the car has been reliable. Quite a few jobs over the years. Front springs, suspension bits, wheel bearing. Rear drums.
But nothing to make me have to sit down in terms of garage bills.

Nothing ever fell off and left me at the roadside. Just wear out with the expected warnings.

What I like about an elderly tatty car is not having to worry about trolley rash in supermarket car parks.

Got it at 75000 miles. Now over 140000 miles. 50mpg in winter to 55mpg in summer.
How could I even think about replacement?

Walnut Blasting: is it worth it?

peagreenblade · 6 hours ago6 hr

I have a 12 year old Skoda Octavia mk3 TSI 1.4 with 155000 miles on the clock. It has JUST scraped through its MOT after repeated emissions failures due to carbon buildup. The mechanic has told me he doesn't want to see the car back next year as it won't pass again and cleaning the carbon deposit off wouldn't be worth it given the age and value of the car. I've read a lot about Walnut Blasting to remove carbon buildup. Would it be worth it in my case or is the mechanic right, and I should just

Door card trim clips

Binx1310 · Tuesday at 22:313 days

Hi. Can someone send me an aliexpress/ Amazon link or OEM part number for the correct plastic door card trim fittings please? I broke a couple when fitting my speakers and there were enough left intact to put the door card back on but I’m planning on removing the door cards again for an upcoming project so it would be handy to have a few spare to replace the missing ones and just in case some more go. Thanks!

There was a similar thread on the Golf GTI site I used to be on and I found it really interesting to see what other's had been up to. My car is due to be built this week (34) so I am counting down the days until I finally get it! So what have you lot been up to?

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Odinson · 5 hours ago5 hr

Hi all, finally got around to getting some new shoes ordered for the girl. I'm getting a set of Hankook Ventus Evo K137 235/45 ZR18 98Y XL put onto the Pegasus alloys. I was considering changing out the locking wheel nut for just a regular nut? Which then prompted the second question, I picked up a set of Alcar 9021 17inch Steelies for Winter Tyres, do I need to run seperate nuts due to the alloy v steel nature? I was looking on autodoc to try and order some nuts as I didn't know how often they
