Hey folks, When changing over the suspension, is it sensible to change over OEM parts such as top mounts etc? I want to get all bits ordered in so I've got them ready. If parts should be replaced, please give me a list of parts that you think I'll need. I may think about changing for...

On petrols its easy - you just red line 'em but.. Whats the best revs to change gear on a standard 1.9 FR 2005 to get the best acceleration?

I am looking to change the standard unit for a Alpine IPOD head unit. I was thinking of doing it myself as my local halfords are prob the most useless place i have ever been to plus they don't have the better alpine headunit i want. I notice that at the botom corners there are slots for...

Hi All, I want to replace the suspension on my toledo V5 but I was wondering if there is a how to guide knocking around here before I start? Cheers Alex

Thinking of changing my seatbelts, to another colour. Funnily enough, not the CupraR Red seatbelts.... I was thinking of silver seatbelts like the ones my brother's Megane 225 has. They should look smart in a silver Cupra... Would certainly be different instead of just dropping in red Cupra...

Hi all, Getting some squeaking come from the rear suspension (02 Cupra 180bhp). Thinking it may be the bushes that need changing. Is this an easy job (any guides or quick step by steps?) and how much do they typically cost from a stealer? Are the front ones similarly easy/difficult...

Just a quick one, Im wondering can any one tell me when i my cam belt is due replacement on a 1.9tdi. I've looked through the forum and havent been able to find the answer. Reason i ask is im looking at taking out an extended warrenty and need my servicing keeping up with. Thanks

I am trying to change my Arosa SDi diesel engine for one I bought in a scrap car. The engine and gearbox are on my bench and I am planning to change the cambelt before swapping it. I have taken the 4 bolts out of the pulley at the end of the crankshaft, but the pulley refuses to move. Am I...

Had the cambelt changed and full service at 57k miles. Now, when I accelerate from 2nd, 3rd and 4th, from stationary and at lowish revs, i feel a fairly harsh vibration through the accelerator pedal that definately wasn't there before the belt/service was done. It's not something that has...

Well, the LCR has gone and I've bought a brand new VXR8, so thought I'd come on and say thank you to everybody who has helped me throughout the 2 years of ownership :) Expect some bits to appear in the For Sale section soon. :p All the best!

Ok I use the ashtray bit just to keep change in. Other day I went to put some coins in but they ended up slipping through Now there underneath rattling about !! :whistle: My question is, do you need to remove all the plastic housing around the ashtray area to get at it or ? The...

Do you always have to change the dual mass flywheel when changing the clutch? Cars done 49,000 miles. Its a lcr.

I am considering changing my current car (07 seat leon fr tdi) for an 05 seat leon cupra r 225ps with 16k miles as im not doing alot of mileage anymore. I would like opinions from owners of these cars in terms of performance, reliablity, running costs etc.

my friend has a Spanish Leon Mk1 and hes trying to fit some UK clocks to it, but they dont work. have we got to recode the new clocks to talk to the ECU? i have a VAGCOM cable and version 4 of the software, so can it be done? or are we missing something more simple? were not looking to change...
