How does everyone feel about buying new?
I've been looking at a new Leon TDI and i'm thinking of buying a brand new one. Never owned a brand new car before. I will be buying myself with cash, managed to get enough so don't need finance.
Of course the dreaded depreciation always comes...
just seen an ad on ebay for some brembo calipers that fit a mk1/mk2 gti and g60 golf, they are 285mm, question is - will they fit the mk3 ibiza? they have been modified to fit the golf from a fiat coupe turbo.
Hi all
Does anyone know if you need to "run in" engines these days? I know it always used to be the case that with new cars you had to keep the revs down below 3k for the first 1,000 miles. I drove my current Golf TDI like a Granny for ages on this belief.
When I get the FR TDI I will...
I've been lookin and postin on this forum for a couple of months, and from my observations and my own experiences these cars seems to have a lot of issues or is it just me?
Myself included and many others are aways moaning that something is breakin!!!
Got idea why don't we get them all...
I am now within a few short days of changing my allegiance and switching from a run of 5 SEAT's on the trot (Me: 2 x LCR & 1 x Ibiza TDi FR, Wife: Arosa 1.0MPi, Ibiza 1.2S Mk4). I've truly enjoyed all the SEAT cars we've owned in the last 5 years, and don't look back with regret on any of them...
just to let you guys know after recent threads with people not to sure,
yes you can get new IBIZA in Candy white from build week 2 onwards from this year. it is now on the uk specs list :D
In the latest Top Gear magazine's list of current top hot hatches, only the Peugeot 307 came lower. Apparently the car's not special enough, things like the Ford Ka Sport came above it. I despair.
Fabia VRs finished 15th if I recall correctly.
Seeing as few others have done it, I will but I'll be stealthy with the plates.
So, does anyone own one of my old MK4s?
GK02N** - Silver 1.4 14v 100bhp Sport - I sold it to Listers Coventry
GN03V** - Silver TDI PD130 Sport - I sold it to Motorvogue Northampton
RO52V** - Red TDI PD130...

Just thought it would be interesting to see what we had before entering the world of SEAT.
First car was a Rover Metro 1.1s but my father crashed and wrote it off two days before my test. No photos.
Next came a Fiat Bravo - alright I suppose when your 17/18 - Again no photo.

Folks,
Bit of a general question here, i've heard (can anyone confirm) that you can buy ANY VAG part from ANY VAG dealer - is this the case?
I ask because as i'm sure many know there is no (and i mean NO) SEAT dealer(s) in the Aberdeen area, so can i buy a SEAT only item (Ibiza Strut...
Well after a good few months, here it is, a full VAG Cars RR Day write up. The rolling road day took place at Awesome GTI in Manchester, and in total we had 24 cars running on the rollers throughout the day.
To start with here’s some pictures of the cars outside during the whole day;
