  1. I used a obd adapter cable mine has been on three cars now with no problems. It is switched to allow, On for parking and Off with the ignition Off. Garmin offer a similar unit for about £42 or an online store cable for half that price.
  2. I think it is working, don't know what I did exactly, just retraced my steps (possibly with a little care) I phoned the Lioness from the car and her dulcet tones came in loud and clear.
  3. I worked on the Mendips and narrowly avoided impact with a boar Badger, it ran into the road at full tilt. I had to make up my mind whether to stay on course or alter course if it decided to turn back to the track it had come out of. I cannot remember my choice but I missed it and had a few badger bristles to show for it. One thing I do remember, it was the biggest Badger I had ever seen. I towed in a couple of other employees cars that weren't so lucky Badgers are pretty solid animals.
  4. We were on a campsite, without our own loo and I had to walk the wife across the site to the loo's. It was pitch black and we became aware of a snuffling/clicking noise and it was a Badger snuffling along the verges after worms and beetles and chewing them up. We stopped and moved out of its way and watched as it patrolled the verges. Following day we found a Badger latrine in a corner of the site and the faeces were studded with wing cases and seed bits.
  5. It looks a little tame for an angry Badger. We had one in our garden how it got in I know not but it decided to leave and dug a hole under my fence into next door. Next door was different a half wall with a three foot panel, baffled it went for their side gate a six foot panel. With a noise like kids on larger kicking a fence, it tore it apart it took no time and off it went to continue its journey. PS looking again I agree Badger seeing a rivals reflection, I had a problem with a pair of crows they pecked the mirror till it cracked and then the rubbers around the passenger window.
  6. I have had four Skoda before and all have connected to my telephone straight away, no cable required. This new Fabia won't even connect with a usb cable, I have tried both usb ports. The 6a is v.14 latest version.
  7. I have a 24 plate, rather basic, all the stuff I had before seems to be extras now and this is an SEL tsi. still a nice car.
  8. I think I saw the cup holder being removed from its console in a Fabia video. I am not saying it is intended to be removed, but might be worth a look.
  9. Steering locks tested https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/product-group-tests/95031/best-steering-wheel-locks-20212022 Boot Nets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htwZMLTKR5o
  10. Hydraulic lifters need oil, I only had one car that made tappet noise and the car was due a service. Post service all was quiet.
  11. I noticed this Wikipedia article and skimmed through it for an explanation of N or neutral gear position. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-shift_gearbox
  12. Can you photo the catch, it might help someone to identify a fault.
  13. I had a piece of road grit in my caliper, front l/h, I could not shift it and had to take it to a garage. It scored the disc! Have you checked the back of the disc? one pad looks carbonised and the other looks as if some other material has contaminated the pad have they worn evenly and not taken on a taper?
  14. Find an engineering shop and show the tube nut bits they could make one if the cost suits you.
