NEW to Briskoda

Hi all,

I've joined to look for help really - as an ex-rep with an occasional clutch knee click, I was interested in the 1.2 DSG Fabia station wagon option but leaned to my wife's preference and settled for a 2011 1.2 70hp hatch in white with some tired looking steels. It drove home 300 miles on half a tank and cruised comfortably.  I am loving the 3 cylinder accoustics which began with the 2006 style Daihatsu Charade quest - but soon switched to Skoda when I learned that the 3 cylinder thrills were across several brands, even in Fiat 500 'Twin Airs' 2 cylinder option.

In the new arrival's simplicity (no extras and no AC) it reminded me of a 1.9 vw SWB Shuttle we owned for a season - same colour and already part of the family - the kids are pleased too!

In order to fit in though, a set of alloys will be added and I rather like the idea of a 3 spoke leather steering wheel plus the necessary roof rack down here in Cornwall.

The spare wheel is absent so hoping a normal spare will fit.

The blower is only functioning on 4, so I would ask advice on 'resistor only' or motor replacement.

Also, I'm trying to understand alloy match information in the hand book. I don't think I have tyre pressure sensors!

Looking forward to exchanges.

Thanks
