Shocked!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to get another gearlever gaitor for my Octy, it is standard plastic jobbie guess howmuch Skoda want for one?....

....57 quid

what planet are they on

Does anyone know where else i could get one from? Butts are cheaper but delivery charges negate the saving, or would anyone have a spare one hanging around? (Clutching at straws here

)

Stimps · 29-03-2004, 12:31

I have a "leather" gearstick with gaitor attached, but for a furby. You can have it if you can confirm it will fit... Jason probably has a spare too

Alex · 29-03-2004, 12:33

Steve i had a bit of a tiff with Jason over his

Not sure if it will fit (Can anyone with access to ETKA confirm if this is possible please? )

***ncarring*** · 29-03-2004, 12:35

Did Jason want 58 quid then?

humsk · 29-03-2004, 12:38

Alex,
Probably includes the plastic trim bit as well.
Why do you need a new one? If it is the gaiter bit that is damaged, why not try asking an upholsterers to make something - could go for leather.

Alex · 29-03-2004, 12:39

He wanted 59 quid and ________ with Rooboy

Stimps · 29-03-2004, 12:39

Alex - if someone can confirm, you're welcome to it. Cost me £20 or so, so I don't know why you're being quoted £57!!

Tried an upholsterer and add a 1 (!) infront of my original figure

The plastic bit it attatches too is not a problem as i have a glue gun

Edit:- Cheers Steve will try to get confirmation

Stimps · 29-03-2004, 12:42

Alex - try http://www.skospares.com - they might have one cheap...

Alex · 29-03-2004, 12:44

They are soooo expensive they wanted 35 quid for a rear light cluster for my Combi dealer price 28 something and no postage.

devonutopia · 29-03-2004, 12:50

I'll post you my Fabia gaitor / ashtray assembly for a tenner, Alex... and less of the comments about rooboy, eh? He's your little bit of stuff and I want none of it...

If you just want to remove the gaitor from the plastic surround and attach it your car then I don't see a problem. I just don't fancy ripping off the gaitor myself incase I mess it up for you.

Alex · 29-03-2004, 12:53

Thats the thing Jason I am not too sure if it will fit or not so dont want to waste anyones time and money sorting this out

Are there any Briskoda members near Derby with a furbie that wouldnt mind me poking around their car?

devonutopia · 29-03-2004, 12:55

How about I send it up for free, for experimental purposes and you can have a sample look / hack and if it's a no-go you can just hang on to it until the trackday or post it back?

Alex · 29-03-2004, 12:59

Cheers for the offer Jason but before you go to the expense of sending it i want to make sure it fits first

What dinner? I could just about stretch to that but any "dessert" would be an extra

Have you rang around any breakers yards, or why not see if a MK4 Golf/Boring will fit it handsome.

Alex · 29-03-2004, 13:21

Darling the Golf/Boring gaitor simply will not fit as it is too big (

) no breakers around here for Skoda parts

Thats what they all say! (

see it's just the right size)

worth a try.

Alex · 29-03-2004, 13:29

Tried and i just cant get it over the (securing) ring way too small

(Can anyone else see where this is going or is it just me

)

**robmawer** · 29-03-2004, 18:52

You can get aftermarket ones cheaper than that!

Stimps · 29-03-2004, 19:46
