My 06 Fabia vRS has all this electronic gubbins on top of the battery! I am sure the 05 model didn’t, is this something to do with the new emission Reg’s?

Looks like they forgot to spray it as well surely you ordered yellow:rofl:

I so badly wanted Yellow but due to the 8 month waiting list I settled for Silver!

Mine is just the same. Dont know what anybody else's looks like. TBH does it matter?

Its not a case of 'Does it matter' I wanted to know if this is causing the stuttering that a few of us are experiencing.

It looks very similar to my 04 model (pre-facelift).

I got quite a surprise when someone in the work car park asked for a jump start as I was expecting to remove the top cover and find the two terminals without having to look in the manual and remove a second layer.

:eek: I'm really sorry!! Your thread does does not mention this. Perhaps you can rename the thread "Guess my post" !!

F***Ks sake all i wanted to know was what it was! a simple 'dont know' would have been enough, i will ask the dealer.

For all i know it could be a small thermo-nuclear device, still think you should have waited for the yellow :eek:

It could be worse i suppose, my 05 model had a mouse's nest under the bonnet made from the sound proofing material it had chewed up! I wonder how long it had been parked in a field before i bought it.

Wouldn't happen to a yellow one.
