Hi

The cigarette lighter no longer works on my Octavia Hatchback 2.0 TSI vRS 230 5 door. 1984cc. I want to check the fuse, but I can’t find out which one it is. Any advice please. See photo of fuse box behind the glove compartment. 
Thanks

There are not many fuses. Just pull them out and check. See if the socket in the boot works as it's on the same circuit.

Very easy to check which fuse does what. If you get the handbook for the car or download it from Skoda UK's website it tells you what all the fuses do.

The downloaded handbook states fuse 40, which it is not. I have found someone with “Auto Data” that said it is the yellow 20 amp fuse in the photo attached. Will try today. Thanks

I'm seeing two yellow 20A fuses in your photo. The lower of these, Fuse 40, is the one you need to check/replace.

Zooming in on the gap next to it, I can just make out 'F41' written in the middle,  suggesting that its neighbours are indeed F40 on the left and F42 on the right.

Does the rear socket work?

One of these "car voltmeters" will tell you if electricity is being supplied to the cigarette lighter socket.

All sorted guys. It was the bottom yellow 20 amp fuse that had blown.Thank you for your advice and help.
