  1. Guess that's a 'No' then, and that I just continue to camouflage by turning up the radio when temperature is hovering. Many thanks for all your replies.
  2. Anybody any ideas about how to turn down the sound of the frost warning.? Where I live the temperature at this time of year can hover around the 4 degrees. It inevitable pings just as I move out of a lit area and into the dark. Makes me jump!
  3. Update - managed to get car to start today, so will drive to garage to get diagnostics done. Many thanks for you support.
  4. Hi I have an 04 Fabia 1.4 TDI, 35000 miles. A few weeks ago it started getting awkward, taking a few turns of the key to start and it conked out once at traffic lights but restarted with no warning lights showing on dash. Then 50 miles from home, it would not start and as I tried, the glow plug light instead of going off started flashing. As I have a roadside assistance package I called for help which duly arrived. The oil level was low and oil was added, car started with glowplug light flashing continuously and engine management light on. Was told to get car checked up on computer but once going car drove well. Took to garage where not convinced problem was low oil but event wiped from system. Car drove well for a few days then again wouldn't start, although 24 hours later did with glow plug light flashing and engine management light on, both yellow. Booked into garage, new part fitted,(not described as ECU but some other letters)told everything fine. 12 hours later wouldn't start same warning lights, got it going to work car park. Tried to start again, nothing doing but now RED oil light as well. Been on holiday for a week so have just left it. Want to get back to garage but he's on holiday as well. Thanks for reading this long tale of woe but any ideas welcome
  5. Hi Heard about your site from a work colleague as my Fabia 1.4tdi is currently stranded in work car park. Am impressed by the range of discussion and solutions offered and am now heading straight to the problem page......... sheilsnowheels
