Hi guys,

I'm an owner of a X-reg 1.8 SE in Silver.

I thought i'd start posting up on the forum to share any updates and experiences I've had with the car.

I purchase the 1.8 SE around December 2013 with 85,000 miles on the clock, very little service history, original paint except for the front driver side wing.

1st thing i always do when i purchase a car is service and timing belt change, using genuine parts.

Over the last years or so i've spent a fair bit of money on it including:
  1. Lowered on 45mm springs
  2. New discs and pads all round including ABS ring
  3. x4 New tyres - Dunlop SP Sport
  4. Fitted Isofix bracket for child seat
  5. Replaced wiper mechanism
I'll post up some images shortly. I have part numbers and advice i can post up here for the isofix installation and wiper mechanism replacement (this was a pain).

I do have some minor issues with the car, i hope to get some advice from you all.

Thanks

Dav
 
Welcome! Its pretty quiet around here these days so good to see some new folks joining.

I put the isofix brackets into my car as well, doesnt help the fact that the B5 is ****** tiny in the back though :(
 
Thank you, i agree the back is small when you have to consider a baby seat plus all the other stuff that we have to carry around on trips.
 
Yeh, the rear facing seat we've got only fits with the passenger seat right forward, i'm tall and theres no way it fits behind me when i'm driving.
