Many thanks for the above. I will check that when I get off my sick bed.

My Fabia has the letters, EPC come up on the facia or whatever its called and keying them in I found they mean the following. As well as that a picture of the engine shows meaning I know not what. I asked a mechanic who just drive it. Is he right? The Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning light indicates a problem with your vehicle's throttle system, which could include the accelerator pedal, fuel injection throttle body, traction control, cruise control, or other systems.

Thats a pretty dangerous statement to make especially as I have just looked at their reviews and they are quite good.

The car is a 2004 Skoda Fabia Estate which does about 5000 miles a year. (Personal details removed) The car use is social only. The reason we are looking for an insurer is that we are fed up with fly by night amateur insurers.

I have looked at a few car insurance reviews today and was horrified by what I found. I realise that one gets what one pays but can anyone say where one may find reliable car insuarance reviews?

It was a service station attached to a supermarket.

I cannot tell a lie. One was an H7 which unless I got it wrong is the appropriate bulb.

I went to get some petrol so checked at Sainsbury's Didcot who had a grand selection of three differnt car headlight bulbs. Checked at Tesco Didcot who stock none.

With respect I can think of no such service stations in the part of Soth Oxfordshire I live in. It might have been true 50 years or so ago.

You have to be joking.

Many thanks for that.

I have no idea how to change the headlight bulbs and request some instructions and wonder if anyone would be kind enough to let me know where to purchase a replacement main headlight bulb.

Many thanks, a brilliant video.

OV54VXP Skoda Fabia 2004 filler cap inoperative. I filled up but when I attempted to push the flap down it didn't catch as normal. Can anyone give me an idea of how to fix this problem.

I conected my charger up and it read 12.06 % which the list above shows as 50% charge so I dumped it and bought a new battery.

Many thanks, I'll connect the battery charger up later to see what it shows.

Car has been starting with difficulty for a week or two. Yesterday it refused to start at all. I put it on charge this morning and the meter showed 14v. Looked at it half an hour later and the meter showed 13.3 v with green light on saying charging complete. The car started. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what happened?

I bought our Fabia sixteen years ago and have never had to call upon the recovery company it was insured with all of that . They told me by Email today that as the car was sixteen years old they were no longer prepared to cover it. As my wife and I are getting on we probably only drive about 5000 miles a year. Does anyone know of a recovery company that offers recovery to cars over 15 years old?
