Jimbobcook's Mk2 FL Leon Cupra R (sold)

Was that with one in or both in? Cause the right hand one looks white, the left yellow... or could just be the camera angle.

One of each, white one is newer one

Dunno whether to get same bulbs as you or use the cheap Chinese ones I paid £3 for a pair... they look the same, but I'm worried about small incendiary fires.

Put the cheap ones in, I paid double the price as mine were already in the UK I bet.

So non cleaning related update, decided with the help of @Legojon I've got a list of bits to do so I keep on top of potential failures as the car is getting on a little bit now. Just hit 45k miles and thankfully cambelt and water pump were done just over a year ago so that's handy.

This time it's the following...

Ordered...
6L Oil 5w30 edge
Mann oil filter
Mann fuel filter
NKG Platinum Spark plugs
Pollen filter

Booking in...
Oil pickup pipe replacement
Sump cleanout
Oil change
Injector cleaning
New injector seals and baskets
Full service

Also ordered some new wax to show off at the national meet thanks to @Legojon for that as well haha yoink!

Bargain... think I paid £18 for it. But agree with Seat now and only do it every other year. I changed it last time cause it was the passive one and I bought the active. But the one I took out looked brand new after just a year.

I now know that everything that needed to be changed will be changed.

I felt a tingle... the wife looked at me like what the hell you ordered. When I got excited that it had a puck in the top she looked even more unimpressed haha
