having tried to boost my signal and trying various methods..in the end the best fix is to replace the entire antenna base (£30 and you get the new mast too)...that solved my poor reception. Signal booster just made it worse when added to the new antenna.

thanks guys, this one is sorted...the motor was knackered! checked all the wiring in everything else seemed to be in order.

Hi, I'm told my air conditioning compressor has given up...I can see it but can get to the part number on the unit itself. Having searched the interwebs there seems to be a lot of revisions....would you know online where I can find which revision works for my car? Had a look here but couldn't find it 6Q0820803 this seems to be the part number but there are various suffix, like D, G and P.X, 2000 1.4 elegance hatch, engine code AUB thanks

thanks for the advice...will get the tools and give it ago if the rain ever goes away.

already checked it rivetted :s

3 years on I'm in a situation where I will need to remove the rivets at some point and want to know exactly what I need to take it off and put back on.

showing details on the dash clock etc....no lights on. The car is locked and armed. Any ideas whats wrong? I'm 100% sure this isn't normal.

cheers Dave!

sorted!

I unscrewed it until it wouldn't go nore more and thats it it doesn't want to come off. I'm not really going to test the theory of yanking it off having spent days trying to sort out my fuzzy radio!

any help on this please appreciated.

this is the new type...it doesn't come off, its just unscrews, losens and like you said you can fold it back. just means if it ever breaks you would have to replace the whole thing.

thanks Wino, really helpfull stuff.

hey guys, could you help confirm/check some part numbers with me... getting confused with info from dealer and used parts specialists. 1j4959857A - driver side windows switch - been told it for an octavia but thats what the label says under the original part.Also, I have seen the same part with different ending letters, B, C etc...Would the part still work? they look the same and have the same number of pins.6Q0959811 - rear passenger window motor - rear window motor.I haven't seen the part number on my card to confirm. 3B2837016A - front driver door lock mechanism - is this correct for my car? again been told its for an octavia.I haven't seen the part number on my card to confirm. Thanks

advice...i changed my head unit and the aerial cable head has snapped off...how easy is it to replace the head, get another one, cut and solder them together? I can do that bit but is there any special type to get? I have lots of spare ends. Can I just solder the right ISO connector to it? Understand that I will still need the booster. Thanks

this is the part number 1j4959857A but would the different end Letter B, C, D etc...fit/work?

driver side....took the master switch out but I can't seem to open it as it has some really tiny torques I tried cleaning it but now when I plug it back in, the lights don't even light up and now I can't control any of the other windows and I get no clicking noise.. :s is it like to be the switch? I can buy one on the bay but now with the bank holiday weekend, its not going to come until next week. :s sods law!

hey guys, drivers window has come down and and is now stuck down. All of the other windows work. I noticed the lights under the control switches flickering....cleaned with electrical component cleaner and now it doesn't light now up. Any ideas apart from taping up my window before it starts to rain.

Thanks again...I was thinking as its a breather it would be left to air but just double checking

Hi Wino, just so I'm clear it doesn't connect to anything?

Thanks Wino!

Hi, had a new thermostat housing fitted a week ago, decided to clean the engine up today and notice this guy loose...should it be?? Where does it go as I couldn't see any obvious place it needs to be connected to. Also no errors on my dash. Thanks in advance.

thanks all, couldn't buy that part separately...all pat of the thermostat housing :s

not had the time due to work...just wanted an easy online, buy and deliver source thanks

lol...laughing at these comments! It doesn't have the metal retaining clip. see below on top of the tissue paper, i have a slight drip and it seems to be coming from there...I've notice a small crack.
