That's crap news but it sounds like it's the best option for you. At least the dealer sounds like they done the right thing (in the end).

You know you're going to get the Golf! Why? Because you R ! Try the fish, I'm here all week

Yes it's for the best, anyway we've got a fun weekend planned to help forget all about it.

Curious how a Seat UK car used in the Milton Keynes area ended up for resale in Swansea? Or did you go there looking for a specific spec and they sourced it from UK second hand stock?

Not relevant, but I went to Sinclair Swansea for a test drive when the Cupra was first released. They would have got my business too if they weren't so unrealistic with respect to discounts. As it was I still opted for a new Cupra but my money went elsewhere. At least they appear to be treating you decently, which goes a long way in my book.

SEAT UK cars go to auction where dealers bid for them.

I hope they decide to crush the car and not sell it to another mug!

the doors on golfs / A3's move and creak when you go over speed bumps. If you don't like rattles and odd noises don't go there!

So this is a vid of the strange noise mine makes on startup... ignore the keys making a horrible clanging sound, so thats not the issue, its the sound before and after the keys clang... then it goes away.

My 1.4 makes and always has made that sound too. 16.5k miles without issue.
Only does it on initial start though, not stop/start etc.

Same... so hopefully nothing to worry about. Just a case of getting used to the noises my new car makes

Sorry to hear your Cupra adventure has ended, gl with your next motor.

Well you really had a monday car and highly assumable, you can't tell 4 sure if your dealer did the repair right, this is a isolated case.
Can understand that you do not want to get another Cupra now but I really think it is a isolated case and maybe you should get all together a cupra again.
Better luck with your next choice of car.

Mine is ex-Seat car. KP registration but ended up in the dealer network and I purchased in Suffolk. There were two identical ST's one ended up in Watford which was the same one that was reviewed on this very forum and is in the majority of press shots and magazine reviews. I opted for the other one which was apparently just a 'managers car'.

I think Seat have auctions that are only open to franchised dealers?

EDIT: the lad who sorted my alignment out this morning said his house mate works for VWFS in MK and he has a pool Leon which he can use for a few months before it will be sold on, to a dealer...

Ah, now thats funny. Mine is KY registered and I was told it belonged to Perrys Aylesbury, however the V5 showed they were the 2nd owner after Seat UK!!! Guess mine was one of those 'pool cars' first.

This is normal, there is another thread on here about the noise on start up, mine does it as well.
