My tracker showed a similar thing - doing 84mph in a 40 zone - and I know speed cameras are on that road!

what did you and your mk3 leon do today

- Start date
I had this warning on my Leon and I put it down to a low battery due to alot of short journeys. It came on a few times until I gave the car a good blast and never returned.

At least your tracked is discreet, my dash cam is plain to see and still the idiot drove like that

I do have a dash cam on show too, but it only seems to upload files it picks and chooses, and that particular journey didn't make the cut!At least your tracked is discreet, my dash cam is plain to see and still the idiot drove like that

It could be. Though my commute is a good 30 minutes on a mix of town roads and daul carriageways. Only other time its driven is to football on Saturdays. Perhaps the climate control is a big draw on power given it was quite cold last week. I took it to the dealer to play safe. They did a bit of investigation and couldnt source the issues. Kind of expected that, but they gave it a health check and cleaned it so guess there was some perks..Plus the dealer is literally 2 minutes from work so i didnt get soaked going to my usual parking space... win win.
Update on this...
Maple Parking and Holiday Extras have been nothing but apologetic so far, as expected really and have refunded me my money. They have asked me to send the footage to them so they can confirm it is the driver they think it is and they will go from there with their internal procedures. They will also forward the details on to Sussex Police.
Do I feel bad that this guy is going to lose his job and possibly his licence? Some part of me does but then he has taken huge liberties with my car doing something unbelievably dangerous considering the time of day and weather conditions and recorded himself doing it!
If this were you or me caught doing this then we'd have to accept our medicine, actions have consequences I suppose.

If he'd been doing 55-56 in a 50. I'd have said it'd be a bit harsh to get him sacked over it. But that's over double the speed limit! He shouldn't be allowed a licence. I've never hit 3 figure speeds in my Cupra (even on the motorway).
Me too, saying goodbye to Seat (for now, I may be back after they sort their engine shortages and long and inconsistent wait times), after a MK3 Leon (2.0TDI) to a Mk6 Ibiza SC (1.0 TSI), now I will go for a middle engine size 1.5, to something Scandinavian (but built in Belgium! apparently) and I collect it tomorrow.....
.... 2018 Volvo V40 Momentum+ 1.5 T.....ahh not sure neither ur Civic nor my V40 would be able to match the mpg figures of the VAG 1.5 EVO, but lets see!
Let's face it, if he'd been actually caught at the time by the Police doing twice the limit, he'd be looking at losing his licence, so what's the difference? He could have written your car off and killed himself or some other innocent, so actually I reckon he's lucky if he just loses his licence and his job. He patently can't be trusted with other people's property.
Plus, I wonder how many times he's done it and not got caught!
If he had been doing 70mph I wouldn't have done anything about it. I'd be slightly annoyed by it but at 63mph over the speed limit its too much not to report.
Exactly, imagine what he would be doing in an RS Audi etc
Agreed, we'd all be up in front of the magistrates if it were us
I've just spoken to the manager dealing with the complaint and he is just as myth'd as me as to the level of stupidity. They have been very good in dealing with it, can't fault them. The driver has been suspended until they receive my video footage when they will proceed with their disciplinary.
Can you share this with me also? This is for the Nav Update to latest maps

Got the dreaded “Error: headlight range control” warning this morning. Switched the car off, waited 2 mins and switched it back on and it’s working fine again! Phew!
Incase you were still looking

Finally got some new wheels. Got them for practically nothing which is great, they just need a light refurb and proper tyres and I'm all set. Bola csr's 19x8.5. I have felt zero difference in ride quality so far. Definitely need to lower, gojg for eibach springs hopefully at new years.
