| May not appeal - Skoda in-car video Fishing has been on the sideline since I took my car to the Nurburgring in September and promptly blew it up on my 2nd lap [D'OH!] So have spent most of the winter driving a black MX5, and spending weekends / spare time researching into better engine parts and working on the Skoda.... Now finally 6 months later it is back on the road and menacing Exmouth and surrounding Devon area. Car still needs some work but I couldn't help go out and get some in-car video of the current performance. Off the public highway of course  Once done I am aiming to have a car which will have over 300bhp on tap, making it a bit of a Q-car (being a 5 door Skoda hatchback...) but still get 55mpg on a gentle run.  Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMCeMIPL0sY Time to get out the tackle again for some Summer fishing!  __________________ Jason - Got the flavour for fishing back!     |

| Re: May not appeal - Skoda in-car video BTW, I love my Skoda Fabia diesel. Performance beats the hell out of the VW Polo company car I had last __________________ I am in shape. ROUND is a shape! |

| Re: May not appeal - Skoda in-car video Hi Jason, Help please. My 2006 Octavia is letting water into the wheel well, boot is dry but wheel well fills up with water sitting on the drive. I have sat watching it but cannot find where it is letting the water in. Any suggestions please.

| Re: May not appeal - Skoda in-car video Hi Drew I had a similar thing with my rover hatchback - leaked all over the place. I took all the carpet & wheel out of the boot so was left with just the metal, cleaned all the dirt out so it was spotless, waited till it had been raining for a few hours then checked - there were some very small water trails - just a run of a drip - was not easy to spot them, traced them back to the rear light cluster & the rubber seal round the hatchback door. Silicon sealant liberally applied did the job __________________ Spahill <:--- --- --- --- It was this big --- --- --- ---:> |

Is the rear screen wash working ok? I know this sounds like an unnecessary repair job, but I would consider drilling a couple of holes in the bottom of the wheel well to allow the water to drain out. :) __________________ Jason - Got the flavour for fishing back! |
