Automatic trunck
I know, and I already told you the answer. No.

How many reverse light does mk2 have
This might not be a surprise but it's the other way round for LHD which is why it's better to say drivers side or passenger side for the avoidance of confusion.

Next you'll be worrying that there's only one fog light at the back on the drivers side!

Wheel shakes
Tyre fitters are mindless automata, it's still possible for the wheel to be rotationally balanced even though it wobbles.
-
Wheel shakes
If the wheels are buckled then that explains everything, you didn't notice when they were on the back but left like that would have worn the tyres and wheel bearings much faster.

Glowplug light flashing
P0407 refers to the EGR valve and P0046 to the turbo actuator, neither are related to DPF sensor you've already changed.

Replacing Steering Wheel
How are you planning to deal with the airbag problem, it's a LOT of trouble just so you can muck about with the radio without taking one hand off the wheel!
-
Automatic trunck
No, it just unlocks it without unlocking the doors.
-
Squeaking Suspension (I think)
The answer is that it depends, frankly it's best just to measure your ARB to be certain.
-
Driver door controls not working
Both mine had power windows and heated mirrors fitted as standard and neither are VRS, it's just down to trim spec. VRS colours are not unique, a VRS is just a Fabia with a PD130 and 6 speed box.

57 plate fabias with old and new body style?
Dealers still had some Mark 1's left over when the Mark 2 came out, they would have been encouraged to sell them quickly at killer prices, hence 57 plate Mark 1's and Mark 2's.
-
Driver door controls not working
A VRS is just a Fabia, they all share common components.

Squeaking Suspension (I think)
I'd be amazed if there's anything wrong with your existing bushes, polybushes won't do anything for the ARB that the standard bushes aren't doing already, namely keep it located while it twists.

Fabia vRS Alternator Question
Because he already has the light bar from a pug. Because rally cars have them.
- Rear anti roll bar - worthwhile?
-
Changing the track control rod (inner tie rod)
Wheel bolts are 120 Nm so it's not super tight, threadlock will be fine for peace of mind since you won't be needing to remove them again.
-
Rear anti roll bar - worthwhile?
It's one of the best and easiest handling mods you can do. No effect on ride quality or ground clearance, just a noticeable reduction in roll at the back, the handling is unbalanced without one frankly because the front doesn't roll but the back does horribly making the car feel like it's twisting in the middle.

Fabia 1.2 tdi remap and upgrades !
Yeah, don't worry about the air filter, just the remap will do it.
-
Oil leak and bulb failure.
If you're not losing any oil then it could be gearbox oil which would be annoying.
- Weird revs at idle
-
air intake recommedation?
YW, keep the exhaust so you can keep your money in your pocket, just service the car properly, fix stuff that breaks and drive the wheels off it.
-
air intake recommedation?
Be serious, you'll get nothing but a hole in your wallet and fixing the exhaust didn't gain anything, you just got back the power that was being lost from the leak. That 1.2 engine cannot make more power, just keep it properly maintained.
- Request for advice please , wee bit worried

Various Set up Problems
Which radio is fitted? Check the fuse hasn't been pulled because the reversing sensors have malfunctioned.
-
Tappets or piston slap?
It's lifter tick, my 1.4 had it when I bought it in 2009 and it's still got it, it really isn't anything to worry about, the 1.4 has roller rockers so the cams can't get damaged and it doesn't affect performance. Turn up the radio if it bothers you.
