I would just fit the wheels and see how much spacing is reqd. Spacers are easily obtainable.

Well i'm surprised! I'm not on the road yet till the end of the month, no mot and tax.

Rule no. 1. Don't take your car to Tescos, there all the same type of customers. My wife works at Tesco and always had dings and dents in our old Pug 106 & 206, since then the Fabia just doesn't seem to get them, more rigid panels and the side bumpstrips must help. One of her work...

Can't see me doing 32mpg in my Cup, I was thinking of mid 20's.

You might save 10% on fuel costs not using the A/C but hang on a minute, what do you do when the weather is hot? yes open the windows and that also costs an extra 5 to10% in fuel costs due to extra drag. Bit of a false economy.

There are many 172's out there for sale and I would have thought your budget would be enough, you just have to be patient and make the effort to travel some distances to find the right one. The 172's are not a cheap car to run, insurance and mpg will be as expensive as your S3 but the Fun...

Careful with your fingers mate, when you spin the rim on the car.

GSF and ECP sell the oe's.

Yes. Referring to the KTR's

That I don't know. Lots of searching reqd. for the answer. Unless one of the long term 172 owners enlightens us.

It's your emissions light. Mine came on too recently but not important, I think it will need a fault code reader to switch it off, can anyone confirm this?

Not through your insurance then?

It's the wife idea of a name not mine, She always talks to the Fabia when shes driving and it does talk back, really does. Actually she talks to Soot1e more than she talks to me :)

The delay is because of so many windscreen claims the last few weeks, due to the state of the roads.

I could get the ezibleed master cylinder cap to seal properley, the cap is too deep, tried two rubber seals together to take up the slack but still it leaked. Went back to the traditional method and it works just as good but 2 people are needed, wife kept on winging about her leg aching pumping...

Youre right, another £75 for the insurance excess. Just got to show me new screen to the Mot tester to get the certificate, hopefully before he shuts up shop on Tuesday.

Excellent find Muld, I'll order from here, Thanks for the other answers too.

I've asked the Reno dealer to get me a Touch up paint set set my Cup. The paint code is D43 but the partsman says this code is not available in Touch up paints but checked my reg. no and I do have a valid paint code. Anyone know why? Can I buy a kit anywhere else?

Bugger! After many hours changing brakes, fixing fluid leaks and lots of other bits, Drove to the garage for the Test and it passed everything mechanical but failed on a crack on the windscreen. Whilst driving there an old stone chip decided to advance across the screen, into the swept area, I...

All brake pads are easy to fit. DS's do need a bit of grinding/filing on the ends though.

Could be worse, like "Brian"

It's like naming a dog.

At least they are easy to change when they're shot.

GSF for them, eh Maynard!

They probably got the spacer at the back of the stub axle the wrong way round or a lack of grease in the bearing.

A long way from you I'm afraid. http://www.alloyart.co.uk/

I paid £60 per wheel for 16" Turinis and that included any colour on the refurbers pallet and minor welding. Well pleased with the result. No idea who can do yours as I'm a long way from you.

2mm. ain't gonna make any difference. ET40 will be fine.

45. Some funny ideas why women have to give everything a name. I'm eagerly awaiting her decision, perhaps when she drives it a name will appear out of her logic!

The wife wants to give the Cup a name as she has done to the Fabia "Soot1e" She suggests "La Cup" any other suggestions from you lot.
