LOL hopefully my time on the Motors conveyor of sin has passed.

Exactly. OcUK is brilliant because of the honesty. This isn't a dedicated manufacturer forum where everyone sucks each other's manhood when quite clearly what the have done to their car is a absolute travesty.

Phatboy, I feel for the person that has to drive behind you because they are absolutley foul. You are £50 out of pocket imo.

they dont really fit the car

but its your car so i dont really give a shiz.

did you manage to sell the CDi at the show in the end mate?

No I didn't.

I'm not sure if I really want to so was testing the water at the show. If I had a double garage it wouldn't be going anywhere but I'd like something fun to drive and need the space. I'm going to do an ad's on some of the forums and see what happens.

Did you have a look round it?

Yeah you parked next to me on the Saturday so I had a peak. Still in such good condition! As with you I wish I never parted with my cavalier years ago but just didn't have the space to store it

Apparently my new car is now en route to the garage - should have it (and pics) by the weekend.

...or not, as now it's been blocked at the import centre.

Week 13 (of a dealer predicted 8-10)...and counting...

My little Skoda

markyb · 14 Jul 2010 at 13:32

K@rl - Very clean mate

You had it long?

Heres mine from a couple of weeks back...

Edit :- Changed the photo, not sure what happened there

K@rl · 14 Jul 2010 at 14:01

Cheers - yours looks mint too!

Had it about a month and bloody love it. Comfortable, economical and quite pokey.

Tempted with a remap but have read quite a bit into it and the clutches seem to fail quite quickly after.

How you got on with yours?

Clown · 14 Jul 2010 at 14:25

Is my monitor broken or is that Skoda picture a negative?

Love it to bits mate. Had it for 4 months now.

Mine has had a stage 1 re-map, got it rollers the other day and got 182.7bhp / 295 lb ft

The clutch is starting to slip slightly due to the torque, its a common problem once remapped, however its only noticeable in the higher gears. It does not slip at all from 1st to 3rd, Once in 4th, if you boot it the revs jump up a little but still pulls very hard. Its quite common on the OEM clutch. I've already got a Sachs clutch lined up soon for it.

I've also replaced the OEM brakes for some Octy/Audi TT 312mm. They are a straight swap and make a big difference.

What year is yours? You on Briskoda.net mate? If not, get yourself on there.

K@rl · 14 Jul 2010 at 14:50

Thats what's putting me off. Looking for reliability over performance with it (getting old) so I dont think I'll bother. Its a 2006 - cloth seats with the cruise options.

Am already on Briskoda but It seems very quiet over there. I prefer edition38 over it as I love reading the project threads.

*edit, wrong thread.
