Following a light bump to the front end of my 2007 Fabia, I am in need of a replacement front bumper. It would appear that the majority of the available bumpers are for the 2010-2014 facelift model, so I am now wondering if the later bumper fits on my earlier car? the lights are the (not very good) single projector type if that makes any difference. Cheers Pete

Does this engine have an anti judder valve fitted? I had a VW Caddy with the ALH 1.9 TDi engine which developed a big judder on shut down, the wire in the plug to the valve had broken. Fixed that and it fixed the judder. I appreciate that they are different engines, but they are made by the same folks.

I broke my key whilst trying to take my winter steels off this spring, took the car to my local VAG specialist as they had a wide selection of keys, none of which matched mine so they cut the lock nuts off and replaced them with new standard items. Mush easier o do with the steel wheels as the is no "nut well" for them to hide in.

Afternoon folks. I mate of mine was driving behind me last night and pointed out that the rear light on the drivers side was kaput. I removed the light unit and both of the bulbs were blown so I whipped one of the bulbs out of the passenger side light and put that it, two slightly less bright rear lights are better than one bright and one dead one. when I turned the lights on it blew the replacement bulb too :-( I checked the fuses (number 18 from wheat I could decipher from the handbook) but that was ok. I have retrofit HID headlight bulbs as the only modification to the car. Any experience of this issue and any suggestions on how to fix it? Cheers Pete

my 2007 PD3 has 288 front brakes so I assumed (dangerous, I know) that it was a case of just swapping the carriers (and discs), and Robert is your Mother's brother. the calipers have the number 54 stamped on them.

When you did the front brake swap, was it just the carriers that you changed and kept the same calipers? if so, what car did you get the carriers from? Despite keeping my eyes peeled, I still haven't spotted you in or around Lincoln, if you do see somebody in either a grey T4 Transporter or an orange Fab II waving at you like an idiot, it will be me......

Just ordered a kit from HIDs-Direct, So I should have a brighter commute to work next week.

They're not bad, but they're not that good either... HIDs are on my to do list of mods.

If I want to see where I'm going, I have no choice other than to use the fog lights! Stupid Fabia headlights....... :peek:

Just for the record, I powered the booster from the iso connector, pin 5 I think.

I've got all the bits but I'm stumped on how to get power to the aerial booster. Would it be possible to use the power antenna/amp remote out as a power supply?

I can't help on th diagnostic front (other than suggesting swearing at it and making treats of physical violence unless it bucks its ideas up), but I can confirm that my 2007 does not show a crusie control light or symbol on the dash either.

My 2007 Fabia II went in for an aircon service at a garage local to my office in Bucks did I have been using for a decade. Reason for poor aircon performance: zero gas in tbe system. Works better now... The garage are great (except for phoning you to let you kow the work is complete) and ate certainly good enough to to work on the cars owned by Jay Kay

It' a standard rectangular double din shape. I'll search in evilbay and see what I can find. Cheers Pete

Morning all, I've bought a replacement aftermarket double din stereo (a Sony if it makes any difference) and I'm pomdering a couple of things. Do I need an aerial booster? Does anyone have a recommendation on a fitting kit? Cheers Pete
