Hi, I took my leon on a rapid run with some hard braking. The car stops great from speed however when they get hot (i mean very hot) i can hear the pad skim against the disc. Both sides do it, (it still stops fine and obviously when it gets to this stage i drive slowly). Once cool its totally...

Right well basically passed my driving test on tuesday so have been out and about in the leon giving it a bit of a test only a 1.4 but insurance kills to have more. I know its not a stupidly quick car in a straight line but in my opinion it handles very well although I have noticed that when...

Hi all, I liked the idea of a Diesel Leon 130 SE but am now thinking of a 1.8T 20V Cupra instead. Members of my family reckon I should go to a Seat Main Dealer and do the following: 1) Drive a 1.6 Petrol Leon for instance - a car I'm not after 2) Drive a 1.8T 20V Cupra - a car I'm...
