I friend of mine test drove my Cupra yesterday and he changed from Drive to Sport or Manual(not sure which one),while driving at 40 mph.Is it okay to do it without stopping,manual states don't change to P or R,while driving,but my dealer told me always to apply the brakes while changing modes.

Today the Emission control system light has come on. The manual says : It then goes on to say reduce speed and drive carefully to a qualified workshop. So am I ok to keep driving as it's going for it's MOT on Monday, and when it was serviced the dude said it'll more than likely need a...

Early start this morning, drove to Volkswagen Racing in Milton Keynes (42.2mpg) to let them see if they could switch off the side airbags on my Cupra so the new seats could go in. They were flat out building up racing Leons, and there were a few other interesting cars there inc 2 KTM X-bows...

Had a test drive in the Ibiza Cupra today, wow what a quick car. Shame it was a saturday, there was too much traffic, even on the dual carriageway. Such a nice sound using the paddles and going through the gears. Kept slowing down then booting it then having to brake because I'd already caught...

A few of your members have weighed there alloy wheels. All these weights have corresponded so thought it would be good to post these up. Although the weight difference isn't much, as this is unsprung (rotational) mass the lighter wheels, brake discs, drive shafts and fly wheels the more...

Hey guys, I've come over from the Leon side to let you guys know my opinion on the New Ibiza FR. I went into the dealers on Sunday to drop the voucher for £50 off as I recommended a friend to buy a car from there and asked if I could have a look round the Candy White FR they had. I didn't...
