I wish I had rang them for their advice, I went with the 17" wheel and the circumference is way smaller than my 17" wheels. I will definitely only be putting it on the rear.

A restart may be all you need. Also try tapping on the HOME button and then swiping left or right to the view you want. Nav full screen should be available by tapping the NAV button.

I will look at this next time thanks, price considered.

Quick update, oil change completed. Easy enough job just the undertray a bit fiddly needing 4 different tools to remove. I went with Castrol EDGE 0W-20 LL IV Advanced Full Synthetic Engine Oil in the end. Thanks for all the replies and if your thinking of having a go at it yourself.....do it.

Are both cables are too short now and you cannot catch nuts on the thread even if hanbrake is maximum down in zero positon? If cables seems too short now you need to push back self adjusters up with pliers or screwdriver. It will relase more cable to the cabin and you be able to put nuts on the thread.|You dont need to remove drums. You can do it with screwdriver through the lug bolt hole but it is tricki for the first time.

Is there no sticker in boot near spare wheel or sometimes in owners book/glove box? Alasdair

I have a friend who wants to retrofit cruise control to his Skoda Scala. He only has speed limiter. His current bcm (and gateway combo) is 2q0937087D. He is also looking at retrofitting 090 with 3q0 external gateway if it somehow helps. If someone has a solution for the missing swap code it would be amazing.

Please read my post again; I said that you're NOT a green warrior, but you still misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm like you; I doubt I'll be around by the time ICE is banned, but then again, I could be. My mum never passed until reaching 92, so I could be. As to whether I'd still be driving, who knows that answer? I don't, and neither do you. But, like that professor told me, as an engineer, I have an inquisitive mind, and I'll never give up trying to preserve our rights to have a choice. As I have said before, when those at the top of the tree start proving their green credentials and actively do what they want us all to do, then maybe they might get somewhere. Like the lockdown when BJ was having parties and others were having police raids, they just keep on demonstrating how it's one rule for us and another for them and their wealthy backers.

Why electric? They're just so prone to failure. Just get a detachable one and you're done. ^^

I would be interested in the answer to this too.

To be honest I cant hear relay ON click because is masked by turning ignition. I can hear OFF only. What if you remove relay and try to turn the key to the ignition position? Still pump works without relay? If yes I would check cable from relay output to pump. Maybe there is just another jumper cable from lighter to pump.

Correction.. part number is 5Q0 035 842 B

Hi. My 2016 Fabia Radio went completely dead I changed the glove box unit with a second hand one. Got Component Protection removed at a Skoda dealer. Radio and most functions all ok, but Telephone not available message shows when selecting telephone. Part number is exactly same as old unit, 5Q0 035 842N. Any ideas on my best course of action ? Thanks.

@Graham Butcher I have a BEV & 2 ICE vehicles. I am no green warrior. I am just raging against the machine. Or being a rebel without a cause. We are where we are and the motor manufacturers are where they are. No matter how much there is mumping and moaning from those that have not and what not a BEV they will still be getting built and purchased. I doubt i will be driving in 5 years so really could not give a monkeys what the UK government does. I am only here for the banter and to read some of the crap posted. PS. Please show any post ever from me where i say or imply that BEV,s are the only way to clean things up. You are making up your own story there.

Today I learned... ... My Fabia has TWO off-side rear side light bulbs!!! 😒 Having nothing better to do today (well, nothing vitally important, anyway) I decided to check all the connectors to see if there were any loose wires or corrosion on the pins etc that might be causing extra resistance, since each light cluster was showing a working bulb. Thankfully I started on off-side rear, because, after removing the light cluster and separating the connector, I used a multimeter to check continuity. I looked at the different colours going to the bulbs and saw one that had black and brown wires, which I checked and they were OK. Then I happened to notice that there was another bulb with black and brown wires. I took that one out and, lo and behold, the bulb was blown!! I have no idea why I didn't spot this before when I was checking them, the only thing I can think of is that, having checked one (which was OK), I simply didn't consider the fact that there might be another one. Anyway, I replaced the blown bulb and, Huzzah!, I stopped getting the faulty light warning. So if anyone ever has this issue again and finds this thread, check BOTH bulbs...! 😳

You're doing a pretty fine job of misrepresenting what I'm saying. I never said that we are doomed or anything like it; this is you misunderstanding things. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you do have an EV and also a BEV, so what is it with you? Having a foot in both camps rules you out from being a green warrior who never misses a chance to point out to anyone who will listen that BEV is the only way of cleaning up the environment and saving the planet. I have said that as an electrical engineer, I have a greater understanding of electricity than a lot of people, and by the same token, being an engineer, I don't suffer from a closed mindset. I remember one of the professors at college telling us all that it is only when you begin to learn something and you gain knowledge that you actually realise just how little we actually know. He went to explain just what he said actually meant, which was that the true engineer does not just accept what he has been told but wants to learn more about why something behaves in a particular fashion. What if we change the circumstances? How does that behave then and so on? This is how discoveries are made and modern inventions have evolved from true engineers. If no one questions the status quo, nothing changes, and that is why we are not all still walking, cycling or horse riding; someone thought differently and tried something. Anyway, back to the hydrogen topic, all I actually said was, "Well, that's a possibility, but that too has serious complications in its use, storage and can be extremely dangerous when things go wrong, plus it also consumes massive amounts of energy currently to produce it." All of which I said is 100% true; it does indeed offer great potential. For a start, it is extremely plentiful; it is the most plentiful element in the universe. It is currently the most difficult one to handle and control; being lighter than air, it has to be bonded to something else to keep it from floating away. Hence, water is the richest source of it. Its atoms are so small that they can escape through most materials, so it has to be stored either at extremely high pressures or at extremely low temperatures, both of which make it difficult to store and also consume more power to store it. It also demands tremendous amounts of power to separate from water, making it overall less efficient than other means of energy. However, once those problems have been resolved, it is a very clean energy source, as its byproduct is water. So to recap then, I never implied anything about its fire capability or that we are all doomed, merely pointing out that it is one possible solution, but it is not currently at a stage for mass adoption and is not without its own significant problems.
