| Apparently it arrived in the country yesterday, the dealer thinks they could get their hands on it today or tomorrow so hopefully not to long. One other question; Do you have to run diesels in like you do with petrol cars?

| Wow, bet you can't wait  I believe you do and there is much discussion on here about the engine "loosening up" after a significant mileage is achieved, but I'll leave it to an appropriate owner to give a more specific reply. Best Mo |

| If you do a search on running you'll find numerous posts on it. Keep an eye on the oil for the first 10K as it will consume a fair bit but after that oil consumption plumets.

| glad to be a member of the briskoda gang! Still, I am sorry to se my 206 go as it has been a great car for me and has all the mod cons....however by reading reviews on here and if I do the right things to my Fabia VRs then i should be able to get the same sort of performance and drive satisfaction that i have with my 206. For anyone thats interested here are a couple of pics the old gal'. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...i/DSC00021.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...GTi/fr_ang.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...i/DSCF0119.jpg

You definately made the right choice. I've never liked the 206. IMHO the Fabia is a better car in ALL aspects. Hope you enjoy the driving experience as much as we all do here | |
