Interesting. My local garage quoted £3k+ and even with removal/fitting (I’ve been advised £300 for this)…£700 difference is a lot. Guess I’m not going back there then.

VIN is TMBPM65J2F5026277

Needing a steer on gearboxes - do/should I stick to the gearbox code (LMG) when replacing? Reading around, I note it’s the MQ200 gearbox common across VAG marques which suggests they’re all the same physical shape/fit? A breaker is offering me a very low mileage MQ200 gearbox from a pretty new Fabia (trying to get info on the code). Another breaker has a medium mileage (55k) gearbox pulled from a Roomster. Presumably the difference in codes reflects gear ratios and translates into how well the car will drive? The Roomster gearbox comes with a 3 month warranty. Unknown what the Fabia box would have (possibly nowt other than ‘it worked when it left us’). NB: I’m not particularly familiar with car mechanics beyond basic maintenance.

Great, many thanks for your forbearance. Just to confirm, it’s the same part as the Fabia Mk2? From searching/squinting at eBay, OEM part 5J0807221E would seem to be the same. Just a heck of a lot cheaper…

Hello Having damaged what I think is the front bumper of the Roomster (2015 model) I need to source a replacement part. However I’m unsure exactly what I’m looking for. Photos below. I’ve seen this called the front bumper and front valence. I’m presuming that the bumper for the pre-2010 model isn’t compatible? Help? IMG_2245.heic IMG_2246.heic IMG_2244.heic
