Yes had it up and nothing is wrong/broken, didn't think there would be as its checked a lot also drive's straight, no noise difference at speed. the front tire's have had it. Passenger side is really bad on the inside also road surface conditions are what I think was wrong. went over the same bit of road and was the same...sketchy at best, two dips in the 70mph road make the chassis do twisty thing's. Just going to change the tires asap and stick to my normal private road. Since stripping it out I feel and hear so much more from the car which is good but what I felt that day was more of a slow motion moment nearly life flashing before my eye's type of event. Not good to say the least.

Had a 4 hour fun time cleaning and polishing all the interior with some special Duragloss cleaner and hydrating. The next day went inside the car and cockpit was like brand new. Excellent product!! Good days.
Did you ever get to the bottom of this? The airbag ECU is bolted to the top of the exhaust tunnel, behind the lower dashboard.
mot, new rear spring, oil cooler, fuel filter, water pump, timing belt and now an empty pocket 
Purchased it (LCR225)
After quite a while hunting for one, finally found a mint model for sensible cash.
I used to be a development engineer for Piper Cams and Exhausts, and was directly involved in the development of working with this forum and one of its members (KEZ if i recall), to develop the downpipe, cat and system. Fancied one since then. Well, finally bought one.
One happy owner.

What made you pick the 1.8t over all the base's you have probably worked on? Congratulations on the new car and hope she gives you some happy time's.
One more....you going to be swapping out the Cam's?
I also own a 400bhp Octavia Mk1 VRS, But have always had a soft spot for the LCR. It’s what I wanted originally before ending up with the Skoda. This car came up at the same time I was looking for a change to my commuting car, at a price I could not refuse, and in A1 condition to suit my OCD needs
And thus a deal was done.
No, I shall keep the original 225 cams. They are the “Hottest” OE cams of all the 1.8t engines, and it runs really smooth with them fitted. (They are what I have fitted to my VRS). Should anyone want to push past 400bhp, or want to adjust the powerband of the engine for a non road application, then cams would certainly be of benefit.
For me, I just want the car to be 100% original, or with OE style upgrades only. Keep and enjoy.
No, they are are fairly close to one another, but there are differences in the cam profiles across the range. The n/a cams have the wildest profiles (by comparison).
Cleaned it yesterday. We had great weather so took the chance to give it a properly good deep clean and get some layers of wax on before the bad weather hits.
Always a shame to drive it after a good clean, but that is where the fun is

Replaced all the PCV valve setup with new valve some forge hoses and new elbow and dipstick tube, found a split hose which was one of my oil leaks, next job rocer cover gasket and drop sump fit New pick up as I found elbow had signs of small lumpy sludgy bits so suspect pick up to b similar, also polished out a few paintwork scratches if only people would stay away from my car lol
Replaced one of my rear door lock modules, with the door locked shut. Many cuts and profanities later, I have a fully working rear door, puddle light and interior illumination. Thoroughly recommend the job to those who are into self torture or are very very very bored........
