dodgy

Hi all. I have a dodgy centre arm rest on my leon FR Mk1. It seems that push rod that operates the mecanism wont engage properly, making it impossible to raise up. I have removed the armrest and tried to take it apart, but it seems to be un-openable. I know i need to get inside it to fix the...

Need some advice please. I got a clutch, gearbox lever and some plastic thing replaced last week. Ever since the car has been torque steering under throttle, much more noticeable than the usual pulls. Sometimes weaving. I have heard that cupras have weights added near/around the clutch...

Does anyone else have really dodgy suspension? I drive a 1.2 Ibiza, 03 reg, and it bottoms out whenever I go over a pothole, it can't even absorb drain covers :cry: My parents have a Leon, and the suspension on that is just fine!

Iv had a new set of JBL front door speakers that are amped in my car a week and the speaker on the left sounds not right, quite crackly and when i change the balance to compare it with the right one i can really hear a difference. I had these fitted for me and took the car to the place where...

Was out washing the car yesterday and noticed on the leading edge of both rear wheel arches is a bronze / brown colour. I'm hoping it's just a dodgy paint finish & not rust coming through!!! :wtf: The car has never had any repairs or resprays (I'm the first owner) and it was first registered...

Evening All, With reference to my previous post I have a knocking noise coming from the front of the car after fittin my new coilovers! I have fitted new topmounts and bearings and I have greased the spring seats on the coilovers!!! It happens when either stationary or slowly moving...

Hi all, so I've decided I'd like to replace the badge strips on the back of the car. They're kind of funny and looks as though there's trapped air/water or something in them. You can see what I mean there. Where could I get replacements for these? They don't have to say CL on. Or is...

Hi folks, After remedying my leaking doors, only now got to sort out the intermittent wipers. They just stop for no good reason and then restart with a little nudge or sometiomes large yank. Is it the motor? thanks

Have any other owners of Luna Grey FR's been unfortunate to have "Glow in the Dark" painted bumpers. What do you think? my local Seat dealer is of the opinion that this is acceptable. See the evidence by clicking on this link -...

Before I do anymore damage to my tailgate can somebody please help me :cry: To start with, I couldn't get the tailgate open, did a search on here and all I could find was to bang the badge. The first time that worked, but the second time - after I missed and hit the paintwork - it wouldn't...

Hi everyone, This is my first post, I've just bought my first Seat (they don't sell them in Australia and since I'm now in England, I thought I'd give them a go!). Anyway, I bought it knowing that the radio / climate control didn't work, and I thought 'I'm pretty handy fella, I'll fix...

I took my car to my local Seat dealer for my annual service and told them about the problems I'm having with my brakes. The first one is that they just dont seem to be beefy enough. My car is the Leon Cupra Diesel and I find when break hard from anything above 80mph they just dont bite!. The...
