Yes! Anyway, after much dismantling, my partner has sorted it. There was a complete break in the cable from pin 22 of the body control module to the boot latch, it had broken behind the boot wiring grommit, really strange the break was really clean like it had been cut. For anyone with a similar issue, it's the blue & brown cable, and it should have power at pin 1 of the 4 pin plug into the boot latch. My partner dismantled the nearside boot trim to first check for power at the 10 pin multiplug behind there. (Both cables into the boot light have power, there is a diode on the light).

Thanks. I've tried just opening the boot with the middle button, but this means the rest of the car stays locked anyway, so the situation doesn't arise for it to lock itself again. I've tried altering what opens with the central locking on the infotainment settings, this didn't make a difference either. What do you mean by reset? Do you mean restore factory default settings in infotainment settings?

Thanks both. We've ruled out the boot light, it works when removed and tried via a power pack. We don't think it's the earth as it appears to be common with other components that are working. Can't rule out wire, but not straightforward to test. @AG Falco I unlock the whole car with a single press of the bottom button, and then open boot by hand. Central locking is working - including unlocking the boot, there is still power to that part of the latch. Interior lights are still working. Side lights, top rear brake light, everything else is still working. It's just the boot light and the electrics telling the car the boot is open.

It's a 2016 1.2 TSI SEL

I have a problem with the boot electrics. If I return to the car and unlock with keyfob and then open only the boot and change footwear, whatever, for a couple of minutes, the car isn't recognising the boot is opening and it is locking the car again and arming the alarm. We have confirmed the car isn't recognising the boot is open on the driver display. Also the boot light isn't working. We have replaced the whole boot latch that incorporates the switch and it hasn't solved the problem. Does anyone know which fuse it is? It isn't listed in the manual. Or any other suggestions? Thanks

Thanks @Carlston

My 2016 mk3 fabia 110 is creaking like mad. We've changed the ARB bushes and droplinks and it's not much better. Research on here tells me that the next thing to change is the wishbone bushes. I'd like to put better bushes in than the originals, I see that Meyle HD or Ibiza Cupra bushes are mentioned but I'm struggling to find exact part numbers or exact model and year of Cupra. Does anyone have the numbers or a link, please?

Thanks to you both. I hadn't figured out how to get reviews for a specific tyre size, that was useful. My partner just put all weather tyres on his Rav 4, so I did consider it, but as you say, there only seem to be a couple available in the size I want and they don't look that great. I'll give it some more thought!

I'm trying to choose some front tyres for my mk3 Fabia 1.2 TSI 110 with 17" wheels. I currently have Bridgestone Potenzas, but I'm not overwhelmed by the wet grip or aquaplaning, I know the problem is mainly because I have 17" wheels, but that's what it came with. I'm just after summer tyres. Mainly country road driving and lesser A roads. Any recommendations? Thanks
