Is that through a Seat Dealer?

When I asked about uprating parts i.e. water pump through a dealer near me 1) They couldn't source the part 2) They said even if they did it wouldn't be covered under there 2 year warranty.

Top struts? I think it means top mounts Replaced mine otherday, bearings were fooked

Car looks great mate and sounds very nice too Haha, I know what it's like going down back roads to get pictures/video clips, having a black car doesn't help, I'm always cleaning mine lol
Keep up the good work.

Just finished wrapping my steering wheel today, really happy with it, also done a few other bits

i recommend not doing this if you want to do it properly and removing the lock, as it now doesnt lock

Car does need a little clean inside, bit messy

and a little pic of me and a mate, both with yellows

Was just on the way to go see some alloys in peterborough when the the coil pack went, garage just phoned and i now have a lovely bill for £109 fantastic, especialy after the bill fo rthe service this month aswell of £490. Not impressed.

Genuine coil is £27-30 depending on where you go.

I'd guess your paying the rest labour.

 

[kineticz]

£80 labour? Does it really take ~ 2 hours to replace a coilpack?

Other day I paid £100 to fit a front ARB, supply and fit inner and outer cv gaitors.

Seems all of our CV gaitors have gone tits up recently lol

£80 labour? Does it really take ~ 2 hours to replace a coilpack?

That would be 1 hrs labour at a dealer, prob min charge of 1hr?

They prob diagnosed the problem to?
