    Hi

    My skoda octavia's reverse lights and top rear lights are not working. Doesn't seen to be a bulb problem, plus airbag light is on

    Tried replacing fuses - no joy

    Anyone recommend someone in Dublin to take a look?

    The problems may not be related - check the underseat connection for the occupancy sensor and clean/tighten that connector to see if the airbag light goes out. If not..well, try that first.

    The brake lights could be- wire damaged, poor connection, poor earth, blown bulb, dry solder joint in the light board, same goes for the high level brake. If you can, check with a multi-meter that there's voltage going to the light units - then Start checking connections and give them a spray with some contact cleaner then re-connect. Also loosen the rear earth, give it a spray with contact cleaner and re-tighten. Also check the bulb-holders for corrosion, again, emery paper, contact cleaner. If that fails, go to an auto electrician, who will do the above, but more thoroughly ;-)
