  1. Why is my car vibrating slightly at idle?

    Today when i was on my way home from work i was sitting at traffic lights and every now and then a vibration could be felt from the car. I have done some research and it seems that the engine mounts can cause this. I have had an intermittent creaking noise from the front of the car for a while...

    Polishing your car

    How often would you all do this? I gave mine a great polish yesterday and it really helps the look. I dont think it has been polished in easily 2 years. I may start waxing the car a bit more now to start protecting the paint, as the car is 6 years old now!
  5. Brake lights come on when car off

    Fabia TDI - in car acceleration video

    Following engine rebuild and a few more mods, initial testing of my Skoda Fabia went well and performance is pretty good. I am sure there will be more to come though once my 4 year old mapping is updated. [B)] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMCeMIPL0sY
  10. Great car - but one shocking problem

    Looking after paint work on new car

    :help: So for the first time in my life I have a brand new car, this gives me an opportunity to try to maintain the paintwork rather than sort out someone else’s mess like you get with a second hand car. I stupidly (perhaps) let the dealer talk me into getting guardx, so I don’t really know...
