It does come with rain sensing wipers.
Ok will have a play, does anyone know if you can fully switch off the interior lights above main console the hope shape parts stays on, also the Infotainment screen can you switch that off fully so it's black then turn it on when you need to? I used to be able do both in my old Audi made night driving more comfortable.

Thanks

As for the power isnt that on the far bottom left of the Infotainment System near the blue Slider Control? Not sure if this helps there is a section on that manual that Stipulates :

"Interior lights Lighting of the instrument panel, displays and switches Depending on the model, the lighting of the instrument cluster and controls can be adjusted in the infotainment system, using the function button > Interior > Light

However im sure the reason its lit above is to see the Slider buttons at night or often called a mood light to see certain Functions on Infotainment or gearstick controls Etc.

For the Infotainment Video i like the following:

Thanks yeah had a play around with that setting couldn't get the lights above fully off so may be your are right. The power button just seems to turn the Infotainment off in that radio is off and nav etc but the screen still lights up with basic functions, I will see if I can find any other options. Managed 37.8 mpg on 200mile run so not bad, still can't believe they expected me to drive it away with 0 miles of petrol showing.

Sounds like a Right Brady bunch in there, wouldn't suppressed they thought your 12v Battery would run it in Hybrid mode lolz mind MPG for 1 300HP Engine is great years ago they drank the fuel how technology evolves :)

Lol yeah, I was surprised at there lack of effort tbh but got the impression because it's lease / fleet they were less bothered. I will let them off on the mirror scuff as I didn't spot it at first either, luckily that tcut sorted most of it but you can't get the wing mirror paint in touch up kit so they said they will make some up for me and post it. I'm going go for a late night blast in a bit.

Just got off the phone from the dealership. Ordered at the beginning of August, they have no build date yet and are saying it will be 50/50 if it arrives this year

Hi mike so sorry to hear that, it appears that a lot of dealerships are not really communicating with its clients properly, they would have a build sheet, did you order a standard spec format or a lot of optional extras on your order please ?

Ordered most of the optional extras, plus it’s the Eatate which always takes longer. The impression I got from the dealership is that Cupra are not communicating very well with them.

Yes irfy8, yes your right, I expected a delay when I ordered. Perhaps not as much, but there isn’t a lot that can be done about it

I ordered a Seat Leon ST 1.5 130 FR with couple of options at the beginning of August, was told from the beginning it would be Feb/Mar, not sure if Cupras / hybrids will be prioritised etc?

I would.have thought hybrids would have been a priority however they do take more components i heard to build, our government is trying to lower emissions by 2030 yet we simply arnt prepared. Lamp post charging was introduced to community's in early 2021 but I really do think this is down to funding to why we dont have more to help people think about electric vehicles or hybrid.We are so much in a political meltdown at the moment and we arnt even taking steps to secure our children's future. I went hybrid no options and ordered early August for a delivery date approx early November but I think the more options as discussed above conclude a longer wait time I'm afraid.

I mean the order time didn't bother me too much, apart from it being a agonising 6 month wait, as my current lease is untill Feb anyway so worked out alright in theory!
