I hope this is not against the rules of the forum, but it is in the best of interests. I am struggling to find a black (or red or white) Leon 1.6 SE for sale for a price in my budget of really only £2000 maximum. Im fairly flexible on mileage aslong as the cars in and has been kept in good...

I just wondered if anyone around the Barnsley/South Yorkshire area has a Mk2 Leon FR Tdi, that has been remapped, that they wouldnt mind taking me out in so I can see the power increase before I decide whether im having it done to mine or not?
