Octavia rear springs

A question about : Octavia rear springs

Hi all,

I'd be grateful for advice on the following no doubt simple questions.

I have a 2005 Octavia with one broken rear suspension spring. My questions are:

1) Should I replace both springs, or is it reasonable to just replace the broken one? I plan to keep running the car for a few years yet if this makes a difference.

2) Will the wheel alignment need checking/adjusting after the repair?

Thanks.

What 7 seater?

A question about : What 7 seater?

I had a Kia Sedona which died so I bought a citroen grand picasso.

But...I just don't like it. It is too small and the rear 2 seats are tiny and not good legroom.

Would anyone recommend another 7 seater that actually has 7 decent sized seats and not the 5 plus 2 like the citroen.

Best answers:

  • Kia Sorento
  • We have a ford galaxy. 7 full size seats and can get the pram in when they all upright!

van or large estate car/MPV?

A question about : van or large estate car/MPV?

Need to hire a vehicle to move my son from Edinburgh to Bristol(contents of flat). Trying to work out if a small van or large car will be best. Can anyone advise eg how a Vauxhall Combo 1.3D would compare to an estate car or MPV, roughly speaking. The Van is shown as having 2.39іm capacity.

We previously fitted all his stuff into a Ford Focus Hatchback with the seats down, plus a roof box

thanks

MK5 2.0 GT FSI Golf / Yaris T3 1.3

A question about : MK5 2.0 GT FSI Golf / Yaris T3 1.3

My wife is needing to replace her 2002 plated 1.2 Corsa. Not because she wants to but there's too much going on with it.

She has about a Ј2k budget but that doesn't mean she wants to spend as close to it as possible. She'd rather not but that's what she can go to.

At a garage this week i noticed a Mk5 2.0 GT FSI Golf, silver, 3 door for Ј1,895. Rear windows tinted (although they'd be getting removed).
Only thing is that's as much as i know. No idea on mileage or anything.

How do I stand? Help!

A question about : How do I stand? Help!

Hi, I will try and be brief.

I bought a car in August last year from a large reputable garage

The day after i got it home i noticed some accident damage to the passenger side plastic sill that had been filled

I went straight back to the garage and they were very fair and said they would put it right.

They replaced the sill and painted it and I thought it was a very good job at the time

Now i have just noticed the door is rubbing on the sill and removing the paint
