    It gets a bit boring on nights!!

    Hi guys!! I've been stuck on nights recently all by myself and to pass the time (after doing all my work of course) I've been tinkering with the LCR. It all started when I decided to have a go de-baffling the charge pipe. Nice and easy I thought HAHA. Wrong! Had to spend 1/2hr with a chiselle...

    A stop gap to a full cat back or turbo exhaust for a bit more noise...

    Hi guys, I was thinking what I could do to make the exhaust a bit louder on my Cupra for the smallest outlay of cash as possible. I was going to get a Cat back but I decided I would try and remove the middle box from the standard exhaust system to see how it would sound. So I took the car to...

    Bit of a personal milestone achieved

    I know this is nothing special for derv FR owners... but the other day I finally got just over 400 miles from a single tank with my pre-FL FR TFSI. I maybe could have gotten another few miles but didn't want to risk it. Anyway, here's a bad camera phone pic, as seems to be traditional on...

  11. Bit of advice needed on brand new car prep

    I’ve just purchased a new car in Candy White (Ibiza Cupra Bocanegra). I opted not to go for the Superguard option from the dealership. I pick the car up tomorrow and i’m guessing they will just wash the car and that’s it. I already have some NXT and autogylm shampoo + proper leathers and...

    replacing my standard 2002 LC 17" starfish alloys to a set of 18" X 7.5J, with an ET of 35, will these be ok on my cupra or will i have to use my 15mm spacers for a flush look?
  13. Sorry, bit boring but need advice re key

    Okay so the silver keyring bar thing at the top of the key, has come away from the fob at one side, so no keyring can be attached to the fob, which is a bit of a pain!! Perhaps silly question, but as my car is still under Seat warranty, would the keyfob be covered?? Im thinking probably no...

  17. Wipers sometimes stop, won't work again until I leave the ignition off for a bit?

    Not sure how to explain this. Often when I get in my car, my wipers will judder very slightly and then stop. I can either 'fix' it by getting out and moving them manually with my hand and hoping it starts working again, or just by leaving the engine off for 20 minutes or so and coming back to...
