Thanks Peter

Hi all, Am I right in thinking that the 'Symphony' stereo is 'paired' to my car, and if I remove it I wont have to enter any codes or such like when I put it back in? TIA

Same here!.. I also ask the wife if it smells like damp ( I smoke, so can't tell the difference)... but I regularly have a god look around for signs of water ingress. At the end of the day,... I spent good money on that car, and anything that will keep her on the road, is good money spent!..

Did I already say how much I hate my car...

So what happens to them?.... do they just snap off or something inside the door? -
Well, I haven't actually started it yet. You never know, I might enjoy it too much to give it up, but it's good to keep an open mind.

Thanks guys.. I'm going to nick the ones off my Octy before I sell her/trade her in (as they are the same)... :think: -
Sorry, I read your post wrong and sent wrong reply....

What did you do to your Skoda today?

Replaced spare wheel (Some idiot screwed the exhaust heat shield on from underneath with XL screws which punctured the spare). Secured rear exhaust heat shield (Properly). Filled her up with diesel (£56) :'( -
Help please?... water in boot?...
skoda norm replied to skoda norm's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Thanks again Lee. My leak seems to be coming down the actual rear panel from somewhere, to the right of the boot opening. It leaks down from above where the rear light is situated (arrowed in pic), so I don't think taking the cover off the boot lid is going to reveal anything in my case. I was wondering if it is may be leaking in through the roof rail strips somehow, then flowing down into the back? I don't know if this is possible, but just a thought. It can't be a leaking in through the fuel cap access as this is below where the drips are coming from as well. The only other places I can think of are the boot hinge mounting (seems unlikely), or the gas strut mounting which also seems unlikely? Oh well, hopefully someone will have seen this before and shed some light on it for me.... :think: -

Thanks Lee, but doesn't the washer pipe use the left side of the car?.. the rear washer works fine too? -
And I forgot to use my Briskoda discount code...... would have made it cheaper still!!

Nope. It's coming down from above where the lights are, at the point arrowed. -
I had a coolant leak from the radiator on my Octavia a few weeks back. I had to replace the radiator as it was corroded in both bottom corners. Try http://www.eurocarparts.com/ I paid £26 + VAT for the new radiator!!!!.... Bargain I know!! As far as fitting it goes, .. if you have a socket set and some torx bits, it's not too hard at all (I'm guessing that it won't be much different to the Octavia). I too did panic a bit before I got the price, and had a go at fitting it. If I were you, I'd fix it myself.
