Hi All, 

 

I'm Simon and have recently bought my first Skoda. Its a MK1 2002 1.9 SDI Classic Fabia Estate.

 

I bought it as a stop gap back in February after selling my E91 estate while waiting to find a renaultsport clio. Bought it off auto trader for the sum total of £425 with 9 months M.O.T and 155k, its basic and a bit rough with no service history and with lots of things to fix but I quite like it now so if it passes the next M.O.T I might just keep it and see how long it goes for! I've found its a good learning tool to get stuck in and do little bits to and expand my mechanical know how.

 

Will stick a new build thread on as I have some questions to ask, this site is great for tutorials and guides!

 

Cheers

 

Simon

 

 

 

 

Welcome!

 

Fabias are nice and simple and great for a lot of DIY jobs. that SDI should run pretty much forever

Cheers mate, got some montreals,dewiperand a stubby ariel as it was missinga and a few bits done so far, basically a generator on wheels! 

 

Need to do thermostat next, already swapped coolant temp sensor but still not getting up to temp! Headliner is on the list as well!
