As the Skoda has now gone I may as well start a thread on its replacement.
2007 E86 Z4, 3.0 Si N52 engine, manual, 85k miles or so, black leather and FSH. Pretty basic spec but had xenon’s which was a must for me.
Bought it back in Nov but haven’t really put too many miles on yet as I rarely...
Anyone have recommendations for which Halfords tool kits are the best value/most useful for general DIY & car tinkering?
I saw people recommended getting one through the trade cards, how much does it save?
Still have this, does everything pretty well and has averaged about 40 mpg over the last year.
I should like it more than I do.
Can’t help but find myself on AT looking at Z4 coupes, so we’ll see if head or heart wins.
Certainly suits silver better! Have the springs to fit still but have been quoted £2-400 to fit them and that pains me just for springs, but I’m still too much of a cripple to do it myself.
Still the odd niggle sort, small tear in the bolster, need to sound deaden the roof and floor but am in...
Well as I’m house bound (ish…) having picked up covid, I thought I’d crack on with the sound deadening. Never done it before, probably all wrong, but by my initial unscientific testing, it’s helped.
Both front door cards are done as well as under the rear bench. Rear door cards, boot and...
Are there any viable alternatives to Apple/Samsung/Google/Android phones? I don’t like the direction they’re going with their data collection and I really don’t need an ultra high spec phone, all I use it for is Spotify, taking bad photos of my cats and browsing online.
Currently have an iPhone...
There seems to be two theories for it, either weighing it down versus the higher end VAG competition, or a counter balancing weight which if you remove you lose control on the first corner, crashing into a family of 7 killing them - all because of your selfishness.
Basically they added weights to the rear crash bar, so it’s simply bumper off and remove 3 bolts and you’ve saved 25+KG.

I’ll find where I got my light switch from and PM you 👍
I recently had surgery on a ruptured disc, so have been largely bed bound and bored. Which obviously means I’ve been spending a lot of time browsing the internet, so after doing the inevitable, I started looking at fixing the little niggles which taint its ownership slightly.
Though it’s faults...
Yeah I think I’ll bite the bullet and go for either 20mm or 30mm eibach pro springs. Alloys will probably be getting done in a bright silver later this month. I may even just do it all in one and get the rear ARB everyone raves about, then it’s sorted and ready to just enjoy.
Yeah, the mark 2...
One thing that is still bugging me is the alloys.
I hate black alloys, but on this car they seem to work, but I still hate them. Am tempted to get them refurbished in a bright silver? Also looks like it could do with a 20mm drop, but not sure if I can bring myself to do it or not.
First up was changing the stereo, from the standard spec CD player to an Amundsen+ with DAB, Sat nav and Bluetooth audio/hands free.
Got lucky and found one on eBay for £200 with the shark fin aerial included. Messed around fitting that, took longer than necessary as I’m pretty much crippled at...
Its been a while since I posted last but since getting my Fabia I’ve actually enjoyed owning it, finding myself browsing forums and looking for bits to tinker with so thought I’d document here and as ever, gleam CS for its endless knowledge!
The car itself is the mk2 1.4 TFSI VRS, which only...
Can anyone recommend some waterproof earphones for swimming? Not looking for top of the range, just something which works!
Started swimming again after 20 years out of the water as it’s the only exercise I can do with my dodgy back, and have seen a few people wearing them!
Can anyone assist, I’ve found an old Gumtree ad which is now removed, however it’s obviously stored in some kind of cache as I can read the first line and view the picture still, however I want to read the full ad if possible?
The link is...
Anyone on here? [emoji23] A25 on the roundabout between Stoke Road and Boxgrove.
Saw you’d already sorted a jerry can otherwise would have stopped off to help.
In case anyone else fancies a pair of Sony MDR 1000X’s for £165...
