windscreen replaced today now no rear sidelights front sidelights numberplate lights or interior lights bulbs all good fuse okay? any ideas please have contacted auto windscreens but they are not rushing themselves.

Just got the call from skoda bonnet open car was there 2 days cost £84.00,as i suspected the cable had come adrift at the bonnet end,i gather that the dealer i had taken to had not had this problem to solve before,they told me they had tried to gain access by removing wheel arch liner and front lower grill no success,removed bottom engine cover,removed fan assembly,this lifts just enough to free from securing lugs and is just held by gravity apparently,once removed reach up and release bonnet catch.took car from skoda to my local mechanic to look at how access was gained he lifted fan assembly,just to check and said if problem were to reoccur he could reconnect cable in about half an hour,hope this post may help someone in future.

still stuck shut, oil warning level info came on have to be skoda workshop,to get bonnet open ouch.

thanks for your input,problem is cable appears to be not connected to actual bonnet catch so pulling it does nothing.

surely this has happened to others any constructive help appreciated.

hi all my fabia 1.6tdi estate 60plate bonnet wont open it is not the handle,it must have come unclipped on the front bonnet catch,as i can hear the cable moving at bonnet end when pulled from foot well on passenger side,i can not see any way to gain access even with bottom tray removed any body had a similar problem and how did you resolve it thanks.

hello all i am having a problem with this fabia spent a fortune having repaired and now failed mot on rear fog light not working,back light 2 bulbs ok indicator ok brake light ok just this dam fog light fuse ok bulb okay anyone have any ideas or had same problem thanks all.

I am in birmingham,thanks for link they do indeed do a waterbased aerosol ordered one to try thanks for the link.

i wonder if any one can help i have a 60 plate elegance 1.6 tdi estate,and have a problem matching the colour aqua blue code 3u3u,i had the paint mixed at a proper auto paint suppliers in aerosols for bumper,however on spraying it is a much darker blue,as it was not on the car, i took it back to where i had brought paint from with together with car which has original paint on bumper though obviously damaged,thinking he had made an error,not so his paint colour match plates were exactly the colour i had painted on new bumper.his explanation was that skoda painted there cars with a water based paint that had a pearlesent white added,which cannot be added to solvent based paints,has anyone else had this sort of problem thanks tony52
