Hi everyone, I've recently purchased a rear LED light set, all E marked and will need coding to the car. The local Skoda main dealer won't code aftermarket lights, so my question, is there anyone in the Anglesey/Bangor area that can code them in and the fee please? I've trial fitted the lights and the rear fogs come on with the sidelights. The brake and indicators work fine. Many thanks Al

Spare cable and connector question
Lanman replied to Lanman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Brill! Many thanks for the info and vid - a simple fix too -
Hi Can anyone help me with the following please, Behind the front passenger side fog lamp plastic blanking cover, I've discovered a cable and plug with a clip, but not sure of where it should go. Tracing it back there is another wire that goes off that to one of the front horns. The car doesn't have an alarm or sensors inside the car, so wondering if my Octavia should have an alarm and this plugs into it? Both horns work ok and there are no warning lights on the dash for anything else. I thought it might be a connector for a fog lamp but can't see one on the other side, although I tried a spare foglamp from another vehicle of the same age but it wouldn't quite fit. I've attached an image and wondering if anyone can shed some light? Can send more photos if needed. Many thanks Al

Wiring advice required please - seat airbag connector
Lanman replied to Brimma's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Apologies for hijacking an old thread, but managed to safely remove the connector when I recently swapped the front passenger seat for a better one (also the yellow outer casing was slightly damaged and cracked (so wanted to make sure everything was safe as can be, by replacing the outer casing) Once you've popped out the orange tab from the connector as magic62 says above, I then used a paperclip opened out and inserted it into the small hole under each of the the thin metal connectors and left it there as this sufficiently lowered the small metal catch inside and I was able to remove the individual wires safely without damaging anything. The paperclip can be removed and the process repeated for the next wire. Hope this helps anyone, give me a shout if you need more info -
Boot cargo nets for Octavia MKII facelift

Cheers all, managed to get a genuine net set for a tenner - old stock and last one - back of the net might come in handy to catch a few crabs off the pier ! -
Boot cargo nets for Octavia MKII facelift
Lanman replied to Lanman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Cheers both, Had a look on ebay, and seen this item in the link below. The seller's not sure if it will fit though. Not a problem if you think it won't, it looks reasonably priced (just been re-listed), but adding the link anyway just in case anyone else might fancy it https://bit.ly/3CdElxU -

Boot cargo nets for Octavia MKII facelift
Lanman posted a topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Hi all, recently purchased an Octavia MKII facelift Greenline and it doesn't have any boot cargo nets, any ideas what the reference numbers are or which ones will fit? Seen a few on ebay but difficult to tell if they will do the job. I have 6 mounting points on the floor and two clips near the light cluster fittings. Many thanks
