change

Well, I'm thinking of re-spraying the wheels as soon as the weather is better. Originally I was gonna stick with black, but get a much glossier black than before. Anyway, the other day I saw a silver Fiesta ST with red aloys (similar colour to the Megane R26R wheels). It looked ok, but I was...

Got my LCR225 booked in for a cambelt and water pump change this weekend, although it's less than the recommended 60k miles (44k) it is over the recommended four years old. At least, I can't see anything in the service logbook that says it's been changed and I don't want to risk it breaking...

Can anyone confirm which service/miles this needs to be done, and what the current going rate is at both Seat dealers and independents. It will be due its 4th service in the summer and will probably have done 50K miles by then too. I'm thinking of swapping it for something else anyway and...

Anybody did this themselves? I plan on doing it with another pair of hands at work. We have ramps, transmission stands and all the tools. Just wondering if its much of a clart on for people who have done it themselves? does the subframe have to be dropped or anything? Crossy

At which service do these get done on the Cupra?? I've had the 1st and 2nd year services and only done 14k. Also, whats the best panel filter? Was going to order the pipercross from Awesome when I order my torque arm insert.

Hello. As in title. Does anybody have a pictures or something??? Thanks

Hi folks, I've done some searching and cannot find any guides or instructions for how to change it... Is it as simple as out with the old in with the new, crank a few times and finished? Reading the LCR guide it says to remove the fuse for the pump. Is that needed for the ARL engine...
