Hi all, can anybody point me in the direction of a ‘how to’ on running a reversing camera cable to the dashboard? Fancy trying it at some point but don’t want to end up making a mess of the whole thing. Has anyone produced a guide? Thanks

@Paul52 I was logging my costs for quite a few years but after a couple of missed fill-ups started to lose track and, what with regularly returning 50+ mpg I did t bother any more. I’ll get a gut feeling when it’s costing too much but I’m also bearing in mind the carbon footprint to keep it going is so much lower than buying a new electric car and I’m out beyond Mr Khan’s cash cow so makes sense to hang on for the time being at least. Maybe small electric for the short journeys and keep the Yeti for the trips to the coast and the midlands.

I'm still the original owner of my 2010 110 CR Yeti in Tangerine metallic (pealing top coat) and it's only done 82k miles. Elegance trim and my wife and I really need the memory seats as we're 2ft different in height! It's had a few issues over the years but to be honest, not as many as it could have. A couple of EGR valve replacements, a couple of throttle valve cleans and recently, a new condenser. I'd put up with the AC failing after a few months for about 3 years so finally opened the household wallet and had a new one installed. Current issues (apart from the pealing top coat on the bonnet and roof) are: Instrument cluster LEDs almost gone. I can still read everything in the dark but it's annoying. I might take out the panel and send it to Cartronix to fix while I'm on holiday at some point. I did buy the LEDs and I can solder but it's pretty fiddly so I'm reluctant to do it myself and make things worse. The alarm failed several years ago. For a long time I simply disconnected the fuse for the siren but a few months ago, I bought a custom battery for about £30. Like I said, I can solder so I thought 'no problem', but one of the connector just refused to desolder. I might have damaged the track or one of the components so, despite it looking like it should work, it doesn't. It chirped once and then nothing since. never mind...the immobiliser locking works so I'll live with that. The alloys are quite badly corroded now and I've been told they are responsible for the very slow pressure leak I have. I've had a few quote to have them powder coated and might do this next because I'm fed up with pumping up one of the them every two weeks. I've recently bought an add-on CarPlay unit so I don't feel quite as desperate to get a new car with modern gadgets, but it hasn't cured the desire completely. Other than that, I've been pretty lucky. My wife absolutely loves driving the car and to be honest, so do I. We've shifter sideboards, dressers, all sorts and it's been brilliant. I think even if we buy a new car I'd ,like to hold on to this one. Maybe get the wheels and instrument cluster done this year and give the inside a good clean (beige interior). So, just an update, as it's been a long time since I posted and to let people know how much I wish Skoda had continued the Yeti. I'd have bought a new one a few years ago if they had! Been a member since I bought the car almost 15 years ago.

Just had mine done. It was both a faulty ABS sensor (Rear left) and a dodgy wheel bearing which apparently can swell and cause damage to the pick-up ring.

Good to know about the rivet. Thanks. Hopefully someone can let me know about the fuse to save my neighbours' sanity!

My Yeti is now 12 years old and has just started having this problem. 01134 code and alarm going off randomly. I've found this battery on fleaBay which has a photo, bizarrely, exactly the same as @FatblokeVRS posted (I've messaged you @FatblokeVRS to check why that is). I'm quite happy soldering so might give this a go before I send it to a dealer to charge me a fortune. Regarding the wheel arch cover, will I need to break anything to get enough space and if I do get access to the space where the alarm sits, is it just a nut that needs removing and the cable to be disconnected? Another question, in the short term, to avoid p1551ng off the neighbours, can I simply remove fuse 34 in the dashboard or will that cause other issues? Thanks in advance.
