Got it done by my usual bit in Dalmellington, Al.

Been gathering up some parts for this one recently. Mostly to do a service before Skodafest next month.

Yuck.

That's another service done though, creeping up on 100k miles now.

In addition, I managed to bag a front bumper for it from one that was sitting in the U-Pull-It yard.

Less lacquer falling off that one and it fits better around the wings.

I haven't been to a Skodafest since before lockdown. I either forget or only find out afterwards, so thanks for the unintentional heads up. If you can make it down from Ayr then I have no excuse not to make it up from Southampton.

This'll be my third one as well!

Was that the estate you pulled the bumper from?  I’m looking for a set of roof bars for mine, but there’s no way I can justify running to Edinburgh to pull the ones of that one.   Must have been a fair treck for you wasn’t it?

Aye, was a red estate that was there. I got a couple of others parts off it as well. The roof rails shouldn't be too difficult to remove if you're alright with dropping the headliner.

It's about two hours either way to get to Inverkeithing, where the yard is. It paid off this time as there was three Mk1s in, so I was able to pull parts from each one.

Interestingly, I have only a photo of the reg for the last one, which was a top spec Elegance TDi with side airbags and other rare options.

We’re booked to be up in Berwick mid july for about 5 nights, but we’ll be in our Moho towing the bike which is then our transport.  Although I’m actually then heading off to FtBill on the bike leaving the wife to chill for 3 of those nights while I meet up with a bunch of biker mates.  So even if the rails are still there the chances of being able to go a get them are so slim!!  Need to find some nearer home really.  And in truth there’s no great rush.

Do you do Facebook? If so, get yourself on the Fabia Owners Club. Seems to be the least chav-centric one of the lot (unlike the PD owners group etc...) 😂
