Hi and thank you for letting me join your club, One of my problems is i recently had what i thought was a slow puncture,turns out to be catastrofic tyre damage the inner wall edge was split and the wire exposed and the other one on the front is not far off this? Is this normal or perhaps a...

Hi, Here are two photos showing the perminent damage on the bonnet of my new Ibiza after some bird cr*p was left there for around 4 hours!!! Anyone think the paint may be sub standard? Ian :confused:

righto as in my old thread i said 'i think ive blown the turbo' but infact it was the engine the valve had dropped from the head and made an inch hole in the piston ruining the head and bending the valves will get some pics up later as its in hell of a state lol. so now i fitted another...

Hi guys, Noticed this evening while at the petrol station with my wife's car, the Sill beneath the door has a deep scrape that has also dented the sill - about 8 - 9 inch in length. What would have to be done to fix this, can it somehow be straightened again? Whats the likely cost also...

Right i bought a bonnet bra because on monday im driving to aberdeen from portsmouth and thought it might be a good idea to get one to protect a little bit against chips, Now i have been reading various articles on the damage people have been getting as a result of using bonnet bra's mainly in...

I took my car for MOT on Saturday morning to my local Seat dealer, it failed on N/S/F suspension/wishbone bush or something.:shrug: Anyway, they said they could do it the same day, so I left it with them at about 10am and had to rush to a University open day in Bradford with my girlfriend so...

Hi, Just been enquiring about remap, stage 2, stated got big exhaust and K&N Filter, but the guy said need to watch out for oil contamination in the air flow and this could cause potential failure of a sensor. (can't remember name of sensor DPF ?) He advised use Green Cotton, it this a...

Hey folks; Something i've always wondered, let's say, you worked, 5 minutes down the road, but not the best walking route due to no path / main road etc! Obviously weather at the moment as well... Would driving there, and back every day cause damage to the engine/car? Not ragging it or...

I have owned my FR+ for just short of 2 years, and never had a problem....until now. Whilst modding the airbox ( a few weeks ago) and putting a large airfeed on I noticed the two adjuster brackets on top of the headlights had snapped. Fair enough I thought, it might have had a slight dink but...

Any ideas on a price? i'm 95% sure ive bent a rod when ingesting water last weekend.. :cry:

Hi guys. This morning I was awoken by my partner shouting 'ALL THE CAR DOORS ARE OPEN!!!'. The car in question is a 54-reg Leon Cupra, which was parked on our drive yesterday afternoon, and left locked - my partner is, ahem, a little OCD about locks, and always checks the doors after...

Hey all, I originally bought the car as a Cat D stolen recovered. Now for the pics! Damaged alloy Bumper removed, fillered, smoothed down, primered My handy compressor

Click here for the mk5! NEW Click here for the mk2 Leon FR! Ok ok, I know it's not a Cupra, but given that insurance companies rape young drivers, I settled for a 1.4 Had it over a year now and so far not done very much to it. But here are some pics as it is now, and I have a few things...

Hi, I've been a member on SCN for a while now, but never really done much posting. I think i need to now though. I used to have an Ibiza TDI FR, but part-exed it for a 54 plate Leon TDI FR with 59k on the clock. Anyway, took it to Jabbasport (as i always did with the ibiza) for a service and...

Help, was going up the road before and was going to do a u turn in a junction but did not indicate and i pulled right infront of this guy. What kind of price am i looking at to get the damage repaired. The excess on my insurance is about £500. The tracking is well out now as he hit my...

Hey guys. Recently noticed after a family member drove my car that there was damage to back bumper (that person is now regarded as scum). My number plate surround has been forced into the bumper causing a slight dent and crack. I replaced the number plate and the crack is hidden but still bugs...

Well last night really topped off a crap day at work, i was coming out of the car park and turned a corner to end up aquaplaning on a huge puddle i hadn't noticed and hit the opposite curb. A loud bang and a bit of a jump over the curb, was followed by a nasty hissing noise. On inspection...
