I have broken the rear light on my 2001 Fabia Estate. I want to get a replacement from a breakers yard. Does anyone know if the rear light unit in the hatchback is compatible with the estate ? Thanks.

I think they are different......but you can double check with your local dealers

Correct - estate and saloon have the same shape rear light, hatchback is different. Have you tried eBay?

THIS PAGE shows the difference between them.

Interestingly it's more than just the shape - the "white" bits are much slimmer on the estate/saloon than the hatch...

Thanks for the quick replies. The light is available on Ebay but it is new - didn't really want to pay so much for such an old high mileage car.

It's unlikely that I will find an estate or saloon at the local breakers so I'll just have to bite the bullet and get the new one.

There's currently one (380281293507) for £27.41 including p+p - sounds cheap enough? (Certainly cheaper than others)
