Now that my vRS is sorted (just need to pick it up from the garage) I need to get a few things done to it to make it stand out when I sell it. So I am now on a look out for a non-silver Ph1. If anyone wants to swap a Mk1 Octavia vRS for one then let me know. Yes it is a disease owning own.

The black spoiler actually works quite well on this. Sure it will also look good on an Odessey blue one too.

Knew there was a technical name for it!

I am going to relocate my electric window switches to where the stereo used to be as I don't want to put holes in my new door cards. The standard switch is a bit to big and ideally want something a bit more "race" like - just a little toggle switch. Being an absolute noob with electrics what...

What I quite like are the plain metal ones my dad has on his car - like a plastic plate with no border or GB logo but metal. They aren't pressed. You can also get them with the letters like stuck on so are slightly raised, but not in the pressed format. Tiny manufacturer post code and BS number...

Yes. Just like that

Pre cat lambda? Mine would hesitate a little when it was on the way out under acceleration. The dephaser kicks in about 5k rpm but not sure how to check it

When I went to buy a throttle body gasket the guy in the parts department quoted me £300 as he thought I wanted a new throttle body so from that I think they are still available. Also I think the only genuine fix for this is to fit ITBs......

Is happening, when I get my Skoda vRS sorted I am on the look out for another Ph1 to use as a daily car.

I don't on me...but there might be one in my project thread. But the way I have laid my cables and wires is so I can put it all back to standard if I need to. I'll message my dad to get one as it is at his and I am not

Do you want some cable tidy stuff to put your interior loom in? I bought too much when doing mine and it's just sitting at home doing nothing. There should be plenty to do what I've done again. It's black ribbed tube with a slit down to put wires/cables through. I've got a length down each side...

I've booked it into the local VAG specialist as I am at my wits end with it. Hoping their just hear it and know exactly what it is. It's got a new alternator so presume it isn't that. Also the turbo is off the original engine as I knew it was good. Both cars were not making this noise before...

I am hoping it is exhaust gasket, going to check after work later. When in the car it sounds like it is from behind the steering wheel area, that's why it think it is down by the aux belt and thought possible air con. This is where the intercooler and some turbo pipe work is. Tried to check it...

What I didn't think of doing was removing the aux belt and driving up the road a bit (only has air con, power steering and alternator on the aux belt). The tensioner is new so sure it isn't that. I had more of a google last night and there are a few more things to check....turbo to exhaust...

Not quite Clio related but my Octavia vRS (1.8T 20v turbo), feel free to move to a more relevant place! The Skoda forum is a little quiet. Basically had to change the engine as cam belt tensioner let go. Doing so the air con needed disconnecting. So far I haven't re-gassed it as I wanted to...

@Coops Turbo is your Ph1 the cover photo for a Renault Facebook page? The odessey Ph1 I looked at in December has just been re-advertised...so tempting. Bit of a project though as needs a new dephaser and a lot of love. £700. If I hadn't had to change the engine in my vRS I would do it.

The covers are currently off. Yes they do have centre caps. Just thought that extra bit wouldn't harm

Dremmel. But just purchased some deep 1/2 inch sockets with a nylon sleeve for the wheels. They may come in handy.

Asked them already. They were being supplied with rivets as an option.

My new TD Pro Race 3 wheels don't fit onto the rear of my car as the hub nut cover has a small lip on stopping them form seating properly. Before I get the file out and start taking material off, does anyone know if new ones have this small lip on? If they don't would rather get new ones if at...

Just bought some CM Composites door cards and wonder how people have attached theirs/similar. I currently have light weight door cards but are made from a thin plastic sheet on a roll and was rivited in place mainly as it was easy to do and as the material came on a roll it couldn't be stuck in...

Where did you get that model from?! I might have to find one myself....

Mine used to hesitate under acceleration, a little like a misfire but not a missfire. I changed the pre-cat lambda and solved it.

It's confirmed, I have the Ph1 disease....when my daily drive Octavia vRS is back working I am going to keep my eye out for an Odessey Blue Ph1 to have as a daily car. There has to be something wrong with me

Having a massie nightmare with the daily vRS, engine swap not progressing as fast as I hoped and working away in the week with work is slowing the progress. But managed to get out and enjoy the Clio this weekend at Llandow. Started off with a nice clean Friday evening, did need it after the...

Exactly how my inner sills look. I had a poke down mine the other day while I was in the back, and was plesantly surprised. I Kurusted them the other year but wouldn't mind doing it again.

Second the E-tech paint, that is what I have on my brake calipers. Even got a free tin of brake cleaner with it.

I agree with you @DaveDreads with the attachment stuff. People think I'm mad for pouring money into mine, when realistically it's a piece of French scrap. It's my car and won't be sold...I'll pass it on to my grand children to burden their lives with lol. Or put back to OEM if they go up in...

New wheels on, not so "in your face" anymore Desparate need of a clean inside and out. I will own a second one as my daily car...is three cars too many??
