I don't think that should be an issue. The keys can be coded to the car and the physical locks changed. The RF part will only activate the actuator on the lock surely, so the lock wouldn't need to be coded to the key. Unless the actuator has its own decoder but I doubt it.
Ah, now im with you, I didnt think my car had any physical locks as i have never had to use them, i can only assume they are now hidden under part of the door handle

Was you happy with it being driven to you? Mine is going to be delivered and I just want to make sure they won’t be driving it like they stole it!!

I wasn’t tbh but it was the only option.
The driver averaged 39mpg over the trip which fills me with confidence he didn’t floor it everywhere and he put plastic sheets on the seats / mats etc. Maybe I had it lucky?!

The guys delivering cars do it for a career, they're not likely to risk their jobs ragging cars that don't belong to them. Plus they've likely driven much more interesting cars than a Seat, lets be fair!

What are they like and where are they from please? After 2600 miles I’ve decided the original paddles are too small. Do these move / flex when pulled?
I have a set left on eBay and selling them a lot cheaper then anyone else but happy to sort it just via PayPal if you want them

Item number 274271747756

they are great and once stuck they are stuck and don’t move

took me a good 10 mins to prise my set off my FR when I sold it

They are quite good, but not as good as I thought - they do look great, add a nice touch and help with grabbing paddles during changes as I do think the originals are too small to change when steering etc. Not much play in them only what is already in the original paddle itself, But being 6 5” ive got big hands so they hit my knuckles slightly when I grab the wheel at 9 and 3 but not that bad - I can live with it!

Got them off a lad on eBay probably the cheapest out there to be fair most are £30+, no difference in quality either https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/223838157147

Well my luck with this stupid car continues - driver called this morning advising would be 9:15 delivery and he had just pulled into the services to call me. But then shortly after I received another call advising that warnings had appeared so has now diverted to the nearest Seat Dealership to get them to diagnose the issue.

I'd still rather have my new one for £22k.
Yeah, So would I. You still can't get a 2nd hand one for that price. It's getting close though. Weirdly there doesn't seem to be a price difference between 19 - 20 plate Lux's. Currently 8 on sale on Autotrader and all around the 23-24k mark (22.8k - 24.6k).
I'd have expected the 19 plate to be around £20k now they are a year old. Maybe some people do like leather after all......

@dilson88 Update from SEAT today, car is being transported from dock to the dealer so hopefully they'll be in touch to arrange delivery soon.

On average how long should dealers take to PDI and contact the leasing company re delivery?

If yours was on the same boat, then it should be at the dealers. Got a call confirming delivery for next wed. Based in scotland, so think they are delivering the furthest away ones first. Happy days :clap:
