I love it!!! My car vibrated worse than it does now because the timing was out so it doesn't bother me just wanted to make sure it was ok. :)

Haha nice!! Put a pic up!! What length screws you gonna use??

It seems to drive amazingly. Just wanna floor it all the time!! My old mounts were so knackered... Just wanted to check they hadn't done something wrong. I expected a bit of vibration. It's nothin harsh but can feel it through the steering wheel. Only when it drops to 900rpm. 1000rpm + is...

Cool!! Nothing to worry about then :)

Hmmm. Quite a big difference in mine. They guy did say my gearbox mount was hanging on by a thread so, maybe that's why I can notice it more...?

Same mount, just uprates the rubber bushes... I've heard they "take some getting used to!" Car drives fantastically now though!! Just shakes you to bits at idle.

Hi guys, Just picked my car up from having mounts changed. (standard upper engine mount, standard upper gearbox mount, powerflex dogbone) Noticeable vibration when car idles at 900rpm. Is this to be expected with the powerflex..?

Mine does this a little sometimes, I think it's something to do with the shite top mounts...?!

Can't you reverse on...? That's what I'm gonna have to do when I get my splitter/springs fitted.

Whats the best method when fitting this...? Drill small guide holes, then let some self tappers dig in?? What sort of length screws should be used?

To confirm, Listers Volkswagen in Nuneaton can get these if you quote part number... I'm picking mine up on Saturday. £10.19

Hence I LOL'd at his price :)

It's a Listers so I don't think they do Skoda... I'll have a look at that link. Thanks. Some guy is selling a fabia splitter on ebay for about £25 + postage... lol!

The nearest Skoda dealer to me is to far away... I can't be bothered to drive to it... Seeing as Skoda are part of the VAG group, do you reckon I could get one from my local VW dealership?

Cheap Xenons tend to be crap... I had some the 8000k ones I mentioned in my reply above were really really cheap off eBay as my current Xenons were going... wish I hadn't of bothered. The light pattern was rubbish, and the actual light output was pants too!! I now have some more expensive ones...

6000k, I've had 8000k (out of desparation!!) and they're shite!! I've actually got 5000k in at the moment and they're tonnes better!

That looks awesome mate!

Just don't have the gammon steak... it's like chewy salt.

I wouldn't exactly say it's dirty...! Looks stunning...!!

Looks nice and tidy mate!

Done some googling today, and I'm looking at Eibach Prolines... 30mm drop front and rear. And good quality apparently. Any one tried these??

Id get the full kit, I hear the tensioners go quite frequently. I had mine done recently and it was obvious the tensioner had never been changed on teh aux belt, there was a huge chunk missing out of the roller bit and it pretty much fell to bits when they took it off!! Very lucky escape. In...

I thought an RS tuner was locked once used on a car, did you unlock it to use it on yours?? If not maybe that's why it thought something was up?

I may tag along. Would be good to finally meet some local RS drivers. May see if my mate wants to tag along.

Mines not to bad. I'll just wait til it's actually dead I think. Haha It slips, rarely and sometimes it's hard to select second. Ive noticed bite point move quite alot higher over last few weeks. Due to cost/hastle I'll just wait. Haha

Ermmmmmm I paid about £330 ish... it was a year ago so not 100% sure! All I remember is it wasn't as cheap as I'd hoped! lol There was a £60 "fault finding" charge included though!! I'd get it to a specialist who's rated on here and ask em to check those...?

Ummm If it's the speedo sensor that goes in to the gearbox (on cup models and early full fat ph2 models) then you'd know there was an issue because you'd have problems with your dials... Had to replace mine when I got the car (only about £23 and a 2 minute job!) Can't think of it being anything...

Thanks!! :cool:

Yeah he said if I was happy with the gearbox oil that's currently in it would nock £48 off the price. It needs changing though to be honest. He's changing my mounts on Friday so he's gonna have a drive and let me know what he thinks of the clutch, I'm hoping I'm just getting paranoid. As far as...

I had this issue, I had all sorts checked! I always had to steer to the right to go straight, and tracking was apparently spot on! Finally found a local specialist who traced it to being perished rear axle bushes. Once these were changed had the alignment done and it was spot on!
