The gearboxes in the diesel astras are pretty terrible, I know a few people who have had bother with them.

Thought about the 2.2 diesel civic. Great economy, pretty quick, nice interior and very reliable.

The dash in the civic is awesome but don't get one if you like seeing out the rear window lol

Personally i'd go Black&Black, think it stands out more and would look good with your wingmirrors being black and having dark alloys :)

Like the concept of your grill and something different but the red is too bright, black badge I would say dont do as its too much, saying that though mines carbon wrapped lol

Washed the car inside and out. Took nearly 4 hours. Also tried to lpwer the car again but only managed to do the fronts. Rears wouldn't play ball. Never mine the front was too high anyway.

The joys of Seat ownership. Dreaded G201 ABS issue on Cupra has appeared :(
Called Seat UK and been asked to take it to a local dealer. As with others on here. Some have had it repaired for free, others have had to pay some or all. There is even a repair kit available so they are aware (Seat, Skoda, VW) there is an issue but have never recalled the part :censored:


Great customer service from Seat UK and Seat Liverpool :funk:
ABS fault repaired free of charge. Car is 6 years old and highly modified.
Even a followup phone call from Laura (Seat UK) to ensure I was happy with the service :D

You having a laugh?

Liverpool wouldn't touch my car because it had an aftermarket stereo and a couple of LEDs.

They've always been fair with me. I have had things rejected before but it also depends on what the fault is and what it affects. At the end of the day they put through the claim to Seat UK and they approve/deny as they see fit. It might be pushed a little harder by the dealers depending on the mood, moon, wind direction on the day but still. Credit where credit is due and has saved me a small sum out of warranty.

I'm surprised you got customer service from anybody at all.

The guys at SEAT UK are polite, but they're not better at actually getting things done than the dealers.
