The leaky roofed Saab convertible has been driven off to germany (thank you ebay).

The replacement is a W 2000 Octavia GLXi 2.0 in black.

99k miles, MOT until Jan 07, and a little bit of tax, and full service history including cambelt at 70k(but slightly overdue another).

All for

Welcome back to the fold

Are you coming to the Cat & Fiddle meet - I see you live just up the road?

It is good to be back.

Will have to have a looksee when the C&F meet is.

It is quite possible if nothing else comes up.

I'm not putting Anything down as definate yet. But would be great.

I'm planning on going to the IFA Treffen at Stanford Hall in May though.

It is the 30th Aniversary of the Estelle this year, so Skoda club are making a big thing about that, but all Skodas are welcome by the club, along with all eastern europe/sov block cars, by their respective clubs.

Nice to see you back here.

Yep, is good to be back. Not as easy to work on as the older oens though.

First a brake pedal switch goes south.

Now I've got a "Check engine light" on, and various idle related faults show when they are pulled and reset. They come back too, although slightly different, but in the same grouping. "idle too high-intermittent", "idle out of range". Yet it just seems to idle a little lumpy, but always did, and the fault didn't show until after I had it serviced (nationwide garage not Skoda since Gorners shut and Claybank are snowed under). Wonder if a pipe/hose got disconnected or clamped.

Have noticed now that coming off idle I sometimes get "nothing, stumble, surge, normal" like it is getting either held back, overfueled or fuel starved. Can't decide which, own laptop with VAG-Com on.

Welcome back
