Highly likely to be a cracked solder joint where the green connector is soldered to the instrument cluster circuitboard.

VCDS Lite (freeware) is adequate for your car. Download from ross-tech.com. Needs a KKL/ FTDI cable to interface between car and laptop. Very cheaply available. Test compression of each cylinder before doing much else.

It's all one part, 6Y1959801 for a 2007 RHD mk2 with just front windows electric. Repair probably cheaper than replacement. See link in my signature.

Blower fan thing is normal, it's the car automatically switching to recirculation mode to reduce the chances of breathing your own exhaust. Tends to kill the servo motor eventually so that recirculation doesn't work when you want it to. No idea about the radio. Windows problem is probably your driver's side motor module failing.

Failing in a way that might cause a battery drain. Some reports of scorched connectors if I remember rightly. Possibly water ingress related?

You can download the official workshop manual at erWin Skoda, although you will have to pay (8.4 euro) for an hour's access. Find repair docs in pdf form via the Individual vehicle information tab on the homepage. Download link will not appear until fee ('flat rate') paid. Document D3E802E70C0-1_4_132_kW_TSI_engine.

Message me your VIN please, it will make it quicker and easier to look up.

LLL parts is a handy reference currently for parts info and prices, as they sell parts. Prices may not match Skoda dealership ones exactly (could be less even), but will give an idea. Quite (but not completely) up-to-date compared to many online offerings: VAG - 8Z0601165CZ17 - LLLParts

True

Locations and fuse values, yes. Stickers/cards and owners manuals are all a bit generic to capture the fine detail. Very difficult to say how any given car's fusebox should look precisely, unless the first owner photographed it before anyone had a chance to change anything.

Such noises are often caused by a small stone getting caught between the dust shield and the inner surface of the disc. Generally will fall out again once they've worn down a little.

I think you'll find that brand new pads look like this.

Odd that the card is wrong, despite seeming to be the correct one for the car (no later part number than 1Z0 010 768E exists for a mk2 Octy as far as I can see).

No worries. Rear wiper failures are pretty common.

What makes you think that's the one? Sure it isn't #18?

What number fuse are you looking at?

As far as I'm aware, automatic locking should only occur in two circumstances. 1. Starting with an empty, locked car, you unlock using the radio remote button, but then do not open a door within about 30 seconds. Re-locking should happen, in case the button press was accidental when you were within range. 2. If the car is set up in this way, doors should all lock when setting off and exceeding some low speed threshold. Check your owners manual to seeoif any other automatic locking is described. Both mk2 and mk3 Fabia suffer from a poorly designed wiring bundle between front doors and A-pillars, so quite possible both cars had similar faults.

Auto locking should not happen after having opened a door. This suggests a fault with the door lock, or wiring to it, in whichever door you opened.

Well worth doing in case something like an injector fault is diluting the oil.

When you changed the oil filter did you also change the oil?

Blimey.

I very much doubt it would be a problem at MOT.

No point in changing coils before they fail, but may be wise to acquire a spare to keep in the glove box.

How many miles on the car? Seems highly unlikely they're original unless the mileage is super-low. If they are, they may be a bit 'sticky-inny' so go gently when trying to undo.

Spend a fiver on an air duster aerosol with a thin straw that you can direct down there to blow out the crap.
