1997 Skoda Felicia L
1.3 5 door hatchback
12 months MOT
1997 Skoda Felicia L 1.3, in the brilliant atlantic green. I've owned this car for just short of two years, in which time it has provided 18,000 trouble free miles of service. The car was MOT'd on Friday 15th May 2015. It passed the MOT with no advisories.
During my ownership I have carried out several upgrades to the car, which are as follows:
- Rebadged as an LXI for vanity's sake
- Fitted front fog lamps (genuine NOS parts fitted)
- Replaced the rear wash wipe relay with one from a GLXI; so it does a few swipes after you've used the screenwash
- Fitted 13" Favorit alloys
- Fitted LED bulbs allround (sidelights, interior lights, boot light, numberplate lights)
- Fitted upgraded Osram headlight bulbs
- Upgraded speakers in front doors to Sony Xplod items
- Fitted two 6x9 speakers in rear parcel shelf
- Replaced doorcards and seats with those from a Felicia Pacific (this was a special edition with very cool, blue seats)
- Fitted a centre console between front seats (this isn't actually bolted in place - I never got round to it; it doesn't move though)
- Installed a fire extinguisher in boot
- Upgraded the boot floor with much stronger MDF
- Fitted a tow bar; fully functioning
- Fitted a front strut brace
- Replaced the shock absorbers with Gaz items. These don't lower the car but stop the prodigious body roll
I've maintained the car well. Recent work includes a new exhaust (centre box and back box) in March at a cost of £105. This does rattle very occasionally. Replaced the hard to reach and often ignored fuel filter in August 2014. Had a new catalyst and lamda sensor fitted in May 2014 at a cost of £291. I carried out a full service at 57,800 miles (12 months ago). I've also sealed the windscreen - common fault.
A Sony CD player headunit is included. This is high spec with bluetooth, USB and Aux inputs. Unfortunately the CD player bit doesn't work but it plays fine through the aux and USB. I will also include the seat cover for the front seat - under which is a 12v powered heated seat attachment. The interior could do with a bit of a clean.
Body work is in overall good condition, as commented on by the MOT tester. This last week I have touched up the NSF wheel arch and OSR wheel arch. Neither were particularly rusty, but I rubbed them down, used Bilt Hamber's Deox-Gel on them and then painted with epoxy primer and then several coats of top coat. I need to put the green on the NSF arch but it hasn't stopped raining! There is a little rust where the sill meets the door frame on the OSR door - see picture, and a small scab on the door. I will include the aeresol of green paint I have and the missing front mudflap. Otherwise, my regular cleaning and coating vunerable area in WD40 have done the trick. Crucially, inner wheel arches and strut tops are good.
I think the car speaks for itself. We've had a lot of fun in the car and "pmol" is well known in our circle of friends and within the Skoda Owners' Club. We've been all over in this little car, down to Devon and Dorset several times, over to Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and the North East. We've even taken it on a foreign jaunt to Belgium. Hopefully she'll find a good home who'll appreciate the fun and practical character of the car (particularly with these shocks fitted). With bshe is good to go.
Roofrack is included. I will also include the original steel wheels (no tyres fitted) and any other odds and sods I have lying around. The sub in the boot is not included. Happy to negotiate on price to include a spare 68bhp engine and gearbox I have and a rally spec sump guard.
