2016 2.0d 4x4, 97k miles. A vibration and whine over the last 12 months getting worse. It is synchronous with road speed and worst between 40 and 60 mph. No degradation felt when turning, no knocking noises either so not thinking wheel bearings or cv’s. My feeling was rear prop shaft coupling so I changed it today (a pig of a job on the drive with ramps!). Unfortunately, even though the old rubber coupling showed signs of wear the vibration is still the same. Anyone have pointers to where else it might be? ….and is changing the front coupler or centre support any easier than the rear one?

A really weird one on the Mk1 Fabia (52 plate) yesterday. There have been occasional central locking issues for a few years (randomly locks/unlocks while driving) but yesterday the front rlectric windows swapped over….the left button openi g the right wi dow and the right button opening the left. Today, it is back to normal! Anyone seen this or can throw any light on it?

Doh....my wife just had a prang in the yeti in a car park....a concrete pillar "jumped out" and wrecked the front wing and drivers door. I just fitted a front wing (not difficult really) and even the colour match is good. I've just ordered a door the right colour too, from the breakers. Is there anything I need to look out for when swapping these over, or is it pretty straight-forward? Lots of vids on youtube about door cards but nothing on swapping the entire door..... Thanks!

I did exactly that! I resoldered it back into fuse 10 and tied it in as neatly as I could. No faults anymore. Thanks for your amazing help on this one!

Ok, all faults now clear down after running live feed to pin 6 so it is a break in the engine bay somewhere! Just need to find somewhere neat to tie this in to now……

Ok, Batt +ve is not reaching pin 6, but is available on pin 3? tempted to link it……

Hmm….signs of damp and gunk in there…..

Ok am into scuttle now, and removed wiper motor. How does to cover come off the firewall? Do not want to wreck it……BTW, scuttle area full of wet rotting leaves…..blew out with airline!

Thanks. Already checked under bonnet, everything very clean!

Thanks for the tips….I have a few different pullers so should be able to adapt something to suit!

Thanks for your help so far. I think I will have to pull the scuttle panel off tomorrow and check at the firewall. Not been in there before so on a 20 year old motor who knows what may be lurking…..

Would you be able to share the relevant wiring diag? Will have to pick up tomorrow, goind dark and just got rained on!

ok, I disconnected battery and rang fuse 10 to pin 5….its o/c!

Hmmm….battery connected, ignition on, plug still pulled out pins 5 to 8 no volts….

Sorry, my mistake. Yes, it rings though fine to pin 8…..
