May not help but I've fitted Auxito reversing lights to my Swift and they are excellent .. much better than halogen OE and I believe they are canbus monitoring friendly

Ahhh... i see... got to be worth a try for a fiver!

Not used that one but have used similar in older cars and currently have a similar one in my MX5 for the Clarion thats in there (and for the spare thats in tne garage cupboard. Having said that do you actually need one for the Fabia as the OE head unit is actually din sized, albeit with an oversize fascia...

we had a rattle in our Kodaiq from that area at one stage that I thought was the sunglasses holder... turned out something wasn't quite clipped in properly as I gave it all a good push, something clicked and it's not done it since. Might also be worth checking the trim around the rear view mirror mount as well - as that worked loose occasionally on our old Octavia.

I agree with everything you've said @Lady Elanore... Even current 'connected' cars worry me with all the tech and, apart from the driving is another reason why I love my 1995 MK1 MX5. In terms of the media the change is already happening, even in the likes of Car magazine. If it's not a review of the latest lookalike Porsche or latest 'special' 911 they major on pretty much everything bar the actual drive (apart from George Kacher that is). Curtis Moldrich is a case in point .. most of his reviews and dislike for certain cars have been down to the in car multimedia systems and how well, or not, they connect to his beloved iPhone... It's painful to read in a magazine that used to feature wrirs like LJK Setright.

yes it's on it's way out and yes I'd replace both burners at the same time as its likely the other won't be too far off giving up as well.

Is that the lyceum? If so good on you.. weve been going to the panto there every yeat for over a decade but this year didnt manage it

Indeed... Personally I think it's a much better looker than then Enyaq

There will be! Are you browsing the Japanese sites or https://www.ctc-performance.co.uk/

Those cost estimates are the bane of my life... They are often put together at a very early stage for a Business Case by people with little or no technical design experience or skills and usually make no allowance for 'optimism bias' or 'risk' and with little knowledge of underground conditions or services. Schemes then get the go ahead on the basis of those costs and grants are made accordingly but I've seen costs double and treble in the past once done properly, or schemes grossly cut back, downgraded or even canned completely as a result. Or even worse funds being taken from elsewhere to complete them...

Same here... I think it stems from regularly driving older vehicles but has been a habit of mine for donkey's years.

Wow .. what an ignorant post... As an aside, and as someone with good vision and no eye issues I can assure you that led brake lights are uncomfortable for those behind in certain circumstances (I've posted here and asked similar questions about the lights staying on previously). I find them 'blinding' when stuck in traffic, especially when in a low car such as my MX5, and will often block them with a raised hand so I have full vision for when traffic starts moving again.

Some planners have common sense and look at the bigger picture... But the grant comment is valid. There is a lot of active travel funding available at the moment but much is time limited and schemes have to be submitted within strict timelines so are often not fully thought through it assessed otherwise they'd miss the deadlines. Also local authorities are often desperate to get cash from somewhere to keep themselves and staff employed regardless of whether the schemes that result are worthwhile.

Forgot to say the number plate fixings are a standard size so any motr factor will stock them, or even the likes of ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-BLACK-NUMBER-PLATE-PLASTIC-NYLON-BOLTS-NUTS-FIXINGS-BIKE-CAR-SCREWS/292047404786?hash=item43ff61bef2:g:jEsAAOSwHMJYNK0Q&pageci=2c44fc51-01da-418f-b2b9-92a17cea4ff7&redirect=mobile

On our Kodiaq the number plate fixing holes are blind rivnuts... so i'd expect yours to be the same.

Having spent 14 years managing a team of them you might struggle there... many are obsessve over PT and cycling to the expense of other modes and unfortunately for drivers both are 'flavour of the moment' with lare amounts of funding available for schemes

No times on the signs mean it's a 24/7 bus lane. Cambridge has bus priority measures and these have been 'pushed' via such lanes. Personally, even though I've been involved in bus priority measures and scheme design I hate them and think many are ridiculous for the reasons mentioned. In Sheffield the local authority are pressing for 24/7 ones on two core routes into the city that have a poor frequency thinking it will increase reliability and patronage but it won't and will instead kill shops fronting the routes. They would be far better leaving the peak hour lanes as is but enforcing them... But they seem blind to this option and focussed on full time lanes

Personally i think you will get absolutely nlwhere with your complaint as im sure both will simply say the screen is within the relevent manufacturing tolerances and will refuse to replace it or, at best, will get someone to remve the pillar trim and bend the ticket holder a bit after a lot of arguing. To me the argy bargy and stress simply wouldn't be worthwhile for what it is. Also for info I had the same clip on both our Fabia and Octavia and one was tighter against the screen than the other. I cant recall whether my kodiaq has one so not sure how good that id if fitted...

And we have leakage again today... Not sure why but will check the bellows again. The only thing then left to seal is the tailgate rubber stoppers on the sides. After that it's reseal the glass or replace the bigger rubber seal round the tailgate opening as they are cheap enough. For info where is the 'join' in the seal on other people's cars? Mine is near the top right and given the moulding fash on it I wonder if it should be at the bottom by the lock

Personally I hate black wheels as they just look like old steelies missing trims or as if you've never cleaned the car. The gunmetal therefore look better to me.

Don't take this the wrong way but I'm amazed, having had the new screen fitted twice already you're contemplating having it done a third time for the sake of a ticket holder. If the screen is good then I'd spend a quid in a stick on ticket holder from eBay. I've used them for years in various cars and they work equally well if not better. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185193929387?hash=item2b1e6b1aab:g:3GYAAOSwgwhfGGjB

I have a Swift... only a 1.0 boosterjet hybrid SZ5 as the Sport wasn't available when i bought bt i love it... lightweight, revvy, pulls great and handles really sprightly. The sport is more powerful and has a bit more torque (the hybrid adds 50lbft to the engine) and different seats but the tech and general feel is similar.

A smear of silicon grease on the 'seal' around the filler flap and 'lock' should stop it freezing up

i think its safe to say that Halfords are trying to take the OP for a ride. Get a new cap and get an MOT done elsewhere. If needed then get a decent garage to check and, if necessary change the bake fluid.

That's an interesting comment as, having experienced two recent Civics and two Jazz's within the family I actually find their dash controls far more complicated than Skodas.
