Hiya all

Just registered after lurking for a few weeks. I picked up a 51 plate Octavia vRS on Saturday and am dipping my toe into the Skoda ownership water. The car has a few wee mods and a bunch of reciepts from Star Performance so I guess I'll be paying the guys from Fife a visit in the near future.

regards

Stumpy

No worries about the jesting I'm always getting my leg pulled:D

When I returned to driving/riding motorbikes after my amputation I was keen to be able to drive amanual. All the "fun" cars seem to be manual. With a wee bit of practice and a reassement at a disabled driving school I was able to return without any restrictions on my license. I struggle with small cars or cars with tight space in the pedal box. But can manage most cars:thumbup:

Jam Nuts Issue (Track Rod End)

joeninho · 31 May31 May

Hi guys, I'm at desperation stage here. Changed bearings on the car. Ball joints also changed. The threads on my TREs were goosed from getting the busy off, so I bought new ones to replace them. My issue is the jam nuts. I have watched/read pretty much everything that's out there, yet these things won't budge. Tried heat, spray etc. Is it definitely clockwise for both to loosen them off you are looking at the hub from the outside of the wheel arch? Lefty loosey when looking from the insid

Generally, i dont like to be one of those people to open up another topic that has been exhausted time and time again, but after extensive research, i really am struggling to find a forum response that matches fully with my issue. I brought my 1.2 tsi 2016 CJZD Rapid earlier this year. As soon as I picked up the car, i noticed the issue, but the garage i purchased it from had wiped their hands clean. Since then, i have been trying to research and diagnose the issue without throwing the parts c
