They’re entirely Skoda Felicia, with design aspects carried over the the favorit. They were the last gasp of an original Skoda design before skoda just became rebadged vw models. Pretty much no VW in them at all apart from some engine variants, and a few brake bits here and there. In that respect it’s no easier to fit VW parts than any other marque, as they have nothing in common. You can get absolutely everything for them very easily and cheaply from Czech Republic. Adapting and upgrading stuff is an uphill battle though, and probably not worth the effort tbh. Depends if it's a Van or a Pickup, remember people seem to forget either the van or the pickup actually existed depending on who you talk to. Seeing as OP mentioned the Seat Inca and it's a '9U' I'm hedging bets on it being the tupperware-stuck-to-a-car van.

Bit of a long shot but do you still have any caddy pickup parts Op was last online 2013 so unlikely they will even see this.

Desktop mode doesn’t allow you (currently) to add photos to the first post, you can add them by editing the first post or adding another post. Sorry (again) about your situation with the landlord man.

Great. Do we need to remind you of this?Absolutely not, no. However, in my defence, it’s not retro (at all) & it’s still ugly 😀 Modern cars aren’t evil is also in the MO 😂

Really appreciate you letting little Rich have a sit and poke, it really made his weekend. We ended up with a little hot rod picture book left from the tat auction that he happily sits and thumbs through and he now has a decent selection of hotwheels ‘hotrod cars’

After a lengthy discussion with barstoolracer we have decided to put the MMS into the shed and forget about it for a while. The new plans for it are both lengthy and expensive The plan now is to concentrate on the actual Scamp, get the new engine mounted and hopefully running for the Weekender, though that is a fair push. The Mini bike will be made in any spare time. There's really not much to them, granted, i'm making it a sidecar type, but that shouldn't add much complication However awesomely fun the MMS is, it would be awesome to see the RMS (regular mini scamp?) again, so I think it’s a good move. Plus you can always ride our AEC Mini-dor if you can withstand how slow it is 😂🤣

A vacuum oil extractor is fine to draw brake fluid through provided the device is compatible with brake fluid. Those cheap vacuum guns are just that. Most of them don’t work properly out of the box and the minute they get brake fluid near the seals in the pump they fail.

Thought about that, but you try finding the desired font you need. I cant find an index..... Can you not just redo all 3 in matching letraset? Or are the other instruments in the car the same typeface?

After posting, I've discovered that the photos have actually uploaded, you need to scroll past all the "error" messages. Sorry about the screw-up! Tim. I’ve mended it but you can go back and edit your posts ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Was also going to suggest will they fit. Failing that, fit the spare on the front and move the unpunctured tyre to the back should you ever have to and keep the driven axle matched in size. That’s my game plan with the dodge should I ever need to as the spare is wee compared to the 255 70 16’s it’s running now. It’s only to keep you rolling.

Families who let older relatives live like that, should be prosecuted. It's not that simple. Watching my grandmother decline into dementia and frequently locking herself out of the house overnight but also refusing to move out of aforementioned house isn't exactly something you can just 'deal with' as if it was moving a book off a table mate.

Would lights with projector beams rather than reflectors be legal? ![](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcQF8ch36ljGa6sTP9Q9hrzDwBS7itxukUOCg7-LxfJZCnhUHP0rs7Ymb6DwsMDv_8I4AecQPl4I-5rw3glPtkcAB4K63LlfGfZjJcrXCdgHS2GTSyzDlqyX&usqp=CAY) Yes. They are fine as they are a conversion unit rather than the wrong light source in a halogen lens. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) obviously pending what the beam pattern is obviously.

I'll see what happens today, might try and rinse off the coolant and dry it in the sun at least. Feeling very cheesed off though... I know those feels. Everything underneath the dodge from the radiator til about the back of the gearbox has BROOOOOOWN on it from the radiator cap blowing out the ‘coolant’ ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

Either chat to then or fill out the relevant form they point to. Not all services work online sadly. I can’t tax my Dodge online. Works fine in the post office though.

I mean firstly, thanks to the usual suspects for again a fantastic show as usual, wouldn’t expect anything less. Secondly, I would like to thank those camping for leaving the campsite refreshingly tidy this year, the ‘clean up team’ (this year it was only myself and Colonelk, mainly because of how tidy it already was!) basically had very little to do, which was brilliant. Roll on RRW and RRG 2024 👍🏻
