Don't let them bully you (your wife) into being induced if you're comfortable with it. As them what your options are.

Thanks mate, we'll be at 14 days overdue. Besides, my wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable. The baby couldn't come soon enough :) Can't wait... for the chaos...

Again, more good work mate.

Attention to detail is at the top of the pile on this forum.

Thanks Tom. Honestly, there's lots of forum members doing some amazing work; the Seat community is a good place to be!!

My Coil Pack Harness Cover arrived today. The part number is 06F971824C and cost £10 delivered from David at Sere Motors. Excellent price and service as always; a US version wanted $28 plus $17 postage!

Originally for the Mk2 Leon, it fits just fine on the Mk1 harness with a little strategic placing of the wires. Certainly looks a lot neater IMO.

Not much more progress made today sadly as had other things to be getting on with.

I really admire your work. Spending that much time and money only to cover it up only an obsessive could do that! I've got a coilpack cover to hide all that mess!
I'm regretting not arranging to meet you while you lived so close. Hopefully G see you at a show some point this year.

I know mate, it would have been good to meet in Lincs, but hopefully there will be chance in the summer months. I'm going to try my best to have the weekend at GTI with you guys.

I have a black 034 Motorsport Coil Pack Cover sat in the shed. I found that it fouled the right front of the Rocker Cover. I'm not aware of anyone else having had such problems, but hey.

With the attention of detail, I just want a nice car with a good standard. This is realistically going to be my only chance at having a weekend hobby to work on until the children have flocked the nest (probably), so I'm making the most of it. I'm not rushed by time and it's a labour of love now days. With 110,000 miles on the clock, it definetly gets driven! Not everyone's cup of tea and the thread must sound dull at times, but hey, she's a keeper! :)

Loving the engine bay, I have a habit of doing it to my cars in the past but yours is the first Leon I've seen it and all I can say is thanks for showing me how simple it is lol

Just a bit time consuming... :D The Leon's bay is probably one of the nicer layouts and easy to achieve a nice OEM+ look.

Congrats to you and your family mate! :)

I wonder if he will one day be as OCD with cars as his Dad ;)
