Anyone know where i can get a set of wipers for the Mk2 1z Octavia? Those that i have seen so far cant attach to the wiper arm pin because of the arms shape

Need to keep the back of the car up as i am a heavyweight also. Know of any struts from some other model that would fit and have more capacity? Finally...

my little contribution..........I have switched to super with my L touring no performance issues but definitely less mileage. Even with this loss (30km per tank some times more) It still works out cheaper to put extra super than use premium. Full tank premium =$160 Full tank plus extra super = $118 ...

I made in Triniland..........I really thought about it, should I risk my life for a tire $30 less.I was too frighten so I went with the Kumhos and they have a decent review on tire rack . com......There are also some major recalls in the US of chinese tyres. Thanks for the info

banzai

decided to go with some Kumhos from Ramgoolies in curepe, tires wouldn't make it back home or even to central...........interrestingly the kumhos and nexen are all "made in china"

Thanks for the info.

Saw one or two with the Trini flag on it That looked good and today saw one of the euro style with a larger font nearer to the legally prescribed size. We like to over do everything so soon it will be a big issue surpassing the "computerizing" of licensing which has been ongoing for about 20 yrs. ^^...

was a customer of Cbn express but service got terrible, when i complained I was told to jump on a plane to miami and see fuh miself......thus I have been with ezone since they started as PObox Intl........different strokes.....

and if the wrong man see's it, finds it too dark everything coming off. Technically no tint is legal because of this ambiguity,but 35 is usually accepted, but it is up to the official to say whether or not it constitutes obscuring the view.......you can argue though that the dark area is a cargoo ar...

banzai

The law is "no treatment which obscures the view of driver and occupants in the vehicle" I paraphrase. It is left intentionally ambigiuous ......we have no grade specified like in other countries so it is up to the enforcement official. Many now try to follow Miami style and dont tint front windows,...

What are the bulbs that replace indicator and marker bulbs...they appear silver but light amber or clear.......available locally??

You could also get your springs re done by Corbin in the Croisee. Don't know the metallurgy aspect of what is done but many have reccomended him for problems of insufficient ride height and load capacity...note not performance.....cost about $300, my problem is rear ride height in L touring but didn...

It would be nice to have a compresed air supply on board, I have seen bumpers used as air tanks, but where do you get the supply? How do trucks etc provide air for the horns or brakes? is it a compressor that can be adapted for automotive use? I have a little plug in the lighter compressor but it do...

incompatible brands/chemicals
Laying product on too thick, not enough time between coats
Maybe someone told a very funny joke and it just cracked up?

Happened to me with "rounded off" wheel locks, visited the muffeler shop and they quickly and simply burned it off with the torch , no damage to the rims and simply replace the burnt off stud after.

banzai

Just to confuse the issue more, when you have remote start and an immobiliser, whether part of an alrm system or tracking system like car search, car trax etc,....wouldn't the remote start bypass the immobilisers points of control (starter, ignition fuel pump whatever) therby making them useless?

Thanks alot, Trinidad Hose is rong de corner from me.

It is a stock l touring that the mech put a cone filter on, but he tried to secure it directly to the intake hose which is flexible so it keeps falling off, i need something stiffer to extend the intake hose and clamp the filter to.
