Oh right okay, thanks.

well after removing the door card and the mounting plate thing underneath it was clear that my issue was mechanical. The lock head metal bar - bit that sticks through the door and goes up and down unlocking and locking was clearly catching on something further along it's body and also wasn't aligned and was very loose and kept coming away from the door. (with door card off as in it wouldn't stay straight up) Not a lot I could do with it other than have a good fiddle about and managed to get it seated a bit better and put it all back together, tried the remote, nothing. Tried the key in the door which must have reseated it further and now it works again with the remote. Intermittently I might add. So, not a perfect fix but better than what it was. Perhaps another day I can have another further investigation but was running out of time so put it all back together. Couldn't get the metal mounting plate thing fully off either - undid all the 10mm self tappers and then didn't have a small enough strange square drive to undo some small circular black clips that seemed to be holding it on. Also undid 3 screws holding a circular control unit in to see if that would loosen the plate but they ended up only holding the control unit to the plate they weren't straight through. anyone got any ideas? I'll try post some pictures I took.

Hi, my car is having the same issue as the original post, I shall hopefully be investigating it today. I'll try the trunking wires and then strip the door to see what's going on if I have to. No fault codes show up and it does work intermittently or at least it did for the earlier part of yesterday and then didn't seem to work at all for the rest of the day. I'll let you know what's found. Ferrycraigs did you get anywhere with this or find out what it was? Josh

I didn't think the lights would make much difference but it does look really smart. Nice work.

tats looking good mate, i have a Polynesian/maori style design I drew up myself which incorporates a bull and a wolf and then had enhanced and improved by the artists. That spans from my chest part of trap onto shoulder and down to elbow. Want to get the arm finished off but it's time and money. Then on my right forearm I have a little piece I thought up which is some things from my home town since I no longer live there. It is proper addictive though. Have so many ideas for designs and what I want, time and money...!

@afcbjoshd - mainly gym or fitness related stuff on mine really.

Hi I'm Josh new to Skoda ownership but not VAG, been on a few forums - was a mod on audi-sport. Net a while back when I had my S3. Due to saving costs etc I am now the owner of a fabia vrs. Used to belong to a member on here so kept it on the forum. Nice tidy example and festidiously maintained. Came out of my 300bhp e90 330d m sport to this and it's surprised me - got a bit of urgency when you need it. Having had a brief look around the forum I have some basic plans but the whole point was to save money!!! As everyone says "I won't mod this one". Not gonna happen. Anyway gave her a quick wash/detail as had a couple. Of hours last night. Came up nice in the corrida red. Couple of pics I found of the s3. Running a 'safe' 280bhp on standard turbo. Did too much to list to that car I still miss it now! My fave parts were a huge custom fmic, my porsche 4 pots with custom braided lines, few badger 5 bits. Had a 'custom' live review stage 2+ map. I had a build thread on audi-sport somewhere! Anyway, I'll be around the forum somewhere. If I feel I know something I might impart wisdom but that's few and far between! Josh

hi do you still have the electric wing mirror control switch? located just in front of the drivers side electric window switches? thanks

Looks great pal, just bought one of these too. Haven't gotten around to fully detailing it yet. Will do very soon for sure.
