So is the MK1 Octavia which made me think the mirrors are the same unit.

Hi guys, does anybody know if the wing mirrors for the MK1 Fabia and MK1 Octavia are the same? In photos they look identical to me. Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for the responses guys. Does anybody know if something like VAGCOM can disable it?

Hi guys, does anybody know if it's possible to disable the ability to open the boot from the remote? Everytime I come to the car in the morning the bloody boot is open as I've managed to press the button while the keys are in my pocket. I have an 02 plate estate with a 3 button remote. Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah it's a bit far that but thanks for the recommendation. Any more suggestions anybody?

Hi guys, I'm coming up for my first service for my Fabia but I've had several very bad expeiences with main dealers with the Evo and I've found the independent specialists much better. Does anybody know of a good independent specialist in Yorkshire, preferably close to Barnsley? Cheers in advance guys.

If you are wanting a Bluetooth carkit and also iPod connectivity then go for the Parrot MK9200i. That kit is just the best thing on the Market by far, it will even display your album artwork, artist, track title and it allows you to choose anything you like. Plus it's also a full Bluetooth carkit so keeps you fully legal for making and recieving calls as well.

Hi guys, I've recently bought a Fabia Estate TDI Elegance but it only has one key. I've been quoted around £160 from my local Skoda dealer which even on the phone I could feel the guy's hands on my belt trying to pull my pants down LOL!!! I'm a Yorkshireman don't you know, I'm not going to pay that for 1 bloody key!!! Anyway, I've tried doing some reading on what will be compatible but I can find a key on ebay with the same code which is: hlo 1j0 959 753 ah Are there any others with different codes which are fully compatible for my car? Also does anybody know anywhere in South Yorkshire or West Yorkshire who can sort me out without having my trousers around my ankles? Thanks in advance guys. Rick

Not at all mate, I asked the question lol!!!

Really? How are you getting your iPod through your stereo? If it's through one of the devices that play through the tape deck then they are horrible sound quality. Playing through the Parrot Bluetooth carkit is top quality.

Thanks again guys. On the subject of the cd player I've decided not to bother and go for a Parrot i9200 carkit. This will allow me to plug my iPhone straight into it, also it allows me to plug a memory stick into it as well for when my wife has it. I've seen one of these working and they are awesome.

Again, thanks for the opinions guys. So the one I'm thinking of making an offer on looks ok then having manual rear windows and a tape layer on a 52 plate. How much do you think I could get a Skoda cd player for then? Also are they interchangeable between the Fabia and the Octavia? Also it only has one remote key and I don't think it has the keycode. I've been doing a little bit of reading on getting new remote keys but found it a little confusing to be honest. Can anybody give me a simple guide on getting new remote keys to work? I've seen plenty of cheap ones on eBay but it looks like the general concesus is to stay away from those. Thanks again guys.

Thanks for the mega quick reply. It does look like parkers could be wrong then. Any other opinions are greatfully recieved guys.

Hi guys, I've looked at the elegance spec on parkers and of the two I have been to see, both have had different specs from what is listed as being standard. The one I'm thinking of making an offer on is a 52 plate and has a tape player rather than a cd player and also it has manual rear windows. According to Parkers, the elegance should have a cd player and rear electric windows as standard. The other I went to see had an aftermarket cd player but did have electric rear windows but no rear parking sensor. This was a 2001 Y plate. Both are estates by the way. Is Parkers wrong or is something fishy going on with both of them? Thanks in advance guys.
