  1. Brought semi tailored seat covers for my normal fabia. Think by premier were on ebay. Not that expensive and choice of piping colours etc. Really fast service and made especially in the colour I wanted.
  2. Sometimes worth epoxy resin glueing the rivnut in before clamping it down.
  3. Had a quotes all in for 377 and 356 Inc pump or local garage 200 +vat no new pump.
  4. What sort of price should I be paying to have my timing belt changed? Any recommendations for a garage in Somerset or north Dorset? Does the water pump be replaced at the same time? Thanks
  5. Switch sometimes goes. They did away with the internal handle sadly. You can go through the boot and pull the little orange lever across but not very practical. Think the wiring can break as well. Mine stopped working so I added a bike brake cable and lever as a temporary repair. Slammed the boot down and it started to work again.
  6. Got my fitted second hand one from ebay. Can still use the cover.
  7. Pre heat engineering? Do various ones. Low power so worth having a time switch to the external socket
  8. Since fitting the botch of a bike brake lever to open the boot. The lock has been working ok. Leaving it on in case but thinking switch rather than the wiring.
  9. So a 3 button key fob would by pass the switch and wiring if it's not well?
  10. Great! After putting the solenoid back on after testing it the lock started working normally! Going to leave the bodge in place incase. Also going to be hard to find what wire it is if it's an intermittent fault!!
  11. I did a temporary repair to mine today till I can check the wiring. Put a bike brake lever on the dog guard then a brake cable to the lock so can open the tailgate without going through the seats and emptying the boot that way!
  12. My boot lock stopped working the other day. Not so easy to open the boot when you have a ladder and tool kit in it! Mines a bohemia and doesn't have the lever but the attachments to fit it are on the lower bit of the lock along with the lock opening solenoid. Only 2 buttons on the key fob. Thinking broken wire so will need to chase bit it doesn't look an easy fix!
  13. Fitted a,second hand witter with a new gueniue electrics kit. The lights work but need it programming for the warning light to work. Think you can fit a second hand one from polo's, seats and the fabia hatch is same as the estate.
  14. Wd40 is a jack of all trades master of none. Don't know if just plumbfix or if screwfix do it as well but a freezing penetrating oil in a spray.
