That's the part in the link vindaloo posted (item 15). Fits both left and right.

Good work, Ryan 👍

Nice detective work, Pete. Very handy info 👍

My gearbox (FNK) plug is 17mm internal hex. When I changed my gearbox oil I didn't have a 17mm bit so I used the head of a 17mm bolt. I had to suck the oil out with a pump as there is no drain plug on the FNK (and some other Fabia boxes).

Some education for you VWD... https://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/fabia-mk1/power_transmission/gearbox_02r/gearbox_mechanicsoperation_constructiondiff./inspecting_gear_oil/ https://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/fabia-mk1/power_transmission/gearbox_02t/gearbox_mechanicsoperation_constructiondiff./inspecting_gear_oil/

No, stacks of both old and modern car gearboxes have the female type. Sorry, you are mistaken. In the many years I've spent working on cars I've never once thought that gearbox plugs only come in 7 or 8mm square male.

He said it's a hexagon hollow type....

^ OK bud I don't think for the Mk1 but I could be wrong.

Are you interested in the owners handbook, Ryan? I know where you can download the 2004 version. No worries if not though

But don't bust the gearbox casing

I use methylated spirits and kitchen roll to degrease the windscreen.

Nice pics, Kharl

Ah ok Still don't understand why the safety catch didn't work but I won't go on about it 😛

You're in the wrong forum really 😛 Mk2 forum..... https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/113-skoda-fabia-mk-ii/

What are those two pins sticking out of the front of the bonnet? Are they those quick release things and the safety catch has been disabled? Something isn't right.
-
That's a shame 😞 I'm wondering why the safety catch didn't stop it coming up. Check it's not seized! Bonnet video....

He mentions coil pack so I assume it's petrol.

Firstly check the plastic brake servo pipe as they are known to split causing a vacuum leak.

The fixes are easy and would have been applied to most MK1 Fabias ages ago. The door carriers behind the door cards just need sealing around the edges with sealant like Plumbers Gold, silicone, etc. You don't even have to remove the carriers, just the door cards. It's also worth poking a bit of wire or whatever into the drain holes in the bottom of the doors to make sure they're clear. If it's also leaking at the scuttle it might be that the scuttle drain holes are blocked with leaves, etc, as it's quite common. You can access the drain holes by taking the plastic arch liners out. And as Sepulchrave says, the window scraper seals are a not relevant as water is meant to get past them as they are not desinged to be fully watertight, they don't need to be because the water is meant to drain out of drain holes in the bottom of the doors. Sealing tip for rear doors... Helpful videos....

Shhhhhh, don't let the Wee Red Nugget hear you or it will conspire against you

At least one good thing came out of it 👍 Aww, a bit sentimental then

What happened to it? EDIT: Oh, maybe serious corrosion?

For what he's using the car for it's not the right car for the job, so whatever he does is going to be nothing more than a compromise.
