Skoda Fabia - Warning Sounds Stopped
About 6 months ago, I heard a sizzling sound behind the dash board of my Skoda Fabia and since then the warning sound effects (like the clicking of the trafficators and the chime when you open the driver's door and leave the lights on) have stopped.

Good Garage Scheme
A couple of local independent garages are on the GoodGarageScheme.com website with some good reviews from supposedly past customers. Should these reviews be taken with a pinch of salt or does it genuinely mean that the garage in question won't rip me off? Thanks

Alternatively I'm thinking the same…
