Had a play today took the relay out and took the cover off tested the pins and still nothink. Then got a little peed off and moved the stick up and down quite quick and hay presto there working again not sure how it happened. Greased the motor up while i had it off and all looked fine. Thanks for ur help guys

Ok so was driving home last night with my 6 month old in the back was tipping it down with rain and the passanger side wiper stoped working then 10 mins later they both stoped working luckley i was round the corner from home. So today looked why the passanger wiper stopted the bolt was loose easy fix. cheaked the fuse no 24 was fine. Still no joy. Thought the linkage had seized to took the motor off the car and put a 12v supply on and it worked fine. Then tested the cable on the loom of the car and no power when the stalk was in position 1 2 3, so i am stuck i am thinking either relay or stalk any ideas what to test next it a mk1 octavia 4x4 150k

i have never drove a car with abs in the snow use to old bangers with no abs thats how this thread started. i was shocked at the stoppin distance in my octavia compared to my old cars. i know the octavia may be heaver but stopping is still a problem in the snow

as a thought if you put a popped fuse in they carnt say boo

tell me about it if you put the brakes on then turn the engine off watch how much quicker you stop do you know the fuse no?

anyone know how to turn off the abs as its rubbish in the snow car is an octavia 2002 1.8t 4x4:)

glad i didnt get stuck in one of them

bogs arn't on the M5 are they there in fields.

you right mate botton of the car got me stuck

ime glad i never got stuck the next day as i put my new rims on

theres mud flaps on the back there are a few splashes on the front when i was turning the wheel:rofl:
