I kinda thought it might go for a little more to be honest. I guess and it seems that the time of year does have some bearing on the price.

I really do not want to put anyone’s car down or get into any beef but “dry storage” counts for nought if the humidity is not controlled.

So which lead is that exactly please?

May I have second dibs on the Drive Shafts please.

Erm, what, you mean the electronics?

Also no front splitter and just the normal rear spoiler, not the V6 version the Brits got. Edit. Actually the front splitter thing maybe bogus, pictures show some with and some without!

This was discussed loads in the early days and was always interesting so if you have a quiet Sunday….. I think the general consensus back then was that the T was pretty difficult to improve upon. Improved braking was one, wheel geometry makes a difference, making sure all the suspension and...

After 16 years there will not be too many with a lower mileage than 50k. They are an in demand car so you would be looking at anything above £12k, dependant on condition and servicing it could get to £15k.

Well done, I guessed with a bit of prodding you might find the supplier, not like you magic’d six pairs out of thin air.

There was something on the RS components site that was similar to those, wonder if I can find them again.

So what is on the label, where did you get them from? It’s fine showing pictures but unless you share it’s just parts porn.

I’ve been looking for the small silicone caps on and off for the last couple of years. There have been a few candidates but none that seem to be the perfect fit of those that Rik supplied.

Currently lusting after this

Ed I’ve messaged you with an idea.

My thoughts as well. I am lucky enough to have a few sets and was thinking of unloading a pretty battered pair, might rethink that.

BenG did a break down of the remote reservoir a few years ago which is also quite interesting, worth a search. 🙂

For information.

Gratuitous R5GTT pic An old girlfriends sister had the 205 1.9 and she used to scare me shitless in it. It also had a much nicer interior than the R5, that is until her Jack Russell ate it!

iirc it just has a couple of clips front and back, they do get brittle with age but new ones lift the look.

Personally not a big fan of the Skoda part, i have the Ktec carbon fibre fitted which I like but would fit the Ktec matt version if I were to go again, looks pretty Oe.

Just to clarify, I meant to add that these and a bunch of other parts seem to have gone from the RPD site, normally out of stock parts are still listed with a notify when available tab. Doesn’t mean they have gone for good but?

Worryingly these are no longer listed on the RPD site at all!

With no IR lamp I guess it’s the C5. They are teeny tiny bottles but 30ml will be enough to do back and front, you really need very little as it’s a chemical reaction so more than the thinnest of coats is a waste. I would use this as a base layer and then if you’re really keen something like the...

Well it used to be difficult to refute that they were “just Eibach“ and nothing special, going to be impossible now.

How will they differ to the OE? The Ktec carbon fibre matt version is actually fairly similar in looks to the original and is a better “Oe” option than the Skoda thing.

Re-valved dampers - Bugger Springs - slightly stiffer than what? Are they now the same as any of Eibachs other springs?

That’s fair enough, in that case speak to James-Gonein60seconds above. I’m sure you can sort something between you.

I’m really going to have to disagree with you there Cue, the numbers just don’t back that up. Apart from the odd one or two I’d say that prices are pretty static and don’t seem to have moved much for almost two years.

Whatever you do you will be needing to spend. Full major service is due on these and those Sachs are going to need doing if you are going to have a car to enjoy or face a lowball offer if you are to sell as is. So £600-700 for the Sachs and about the same(?) for a full service with genuine...
