Hi everyone, im new to this forum and have a Seat Ibiza 1.9tdi sport pd130. It has been a great car to me over the past few years until now! When i unlock the car and open the door the whole dash lights up which didnt used to happen, then you turn the ignition on and try and start the car only...

A friends Cupra seems to have developed a strange problem since a cold day recently. It will only start with jump leads connected from a donor car, but the battery has been charged and is holding 11-12v's and we have also tryed another spare battery too. When the car is running it is charging...

Hi Everyone, Hopefully the title makes a tiny bit of sense. The light in the boot has become temperamental. Its not the bulb or as far as i can tell the wiring, but more likely the switch. The problem is I cannot find where the switch is for the boot light, ie with the boot open, the...

I have read a few posts on here about this re-occuring problem but just want to double check some things. Here is what i have tried. Resistance in all glow plugs seem approx the same, 1.2ohms if i used the digi meter correctly. All glow plugs glow when connected to 12v source. All...

I've got a little problem with the electrics in my LCR. Basically I was out earlier, parked up, turned off and returned to my car not 5 minutes later and all the electrics had gone off, no clock nothing when I turned ignition on. This sorted itself after a few minutes, and the car started...

So, is this common? Front wipers come on all on there own and keep going for about 1 min. The rear wiper also does it. Intermittent dash. Sometimes all the dash goes off. No speedo, petrol gauge etc. HELP :cry:

When trying to use the electric mirror adjustment switch last night, my bf noticed that when it was turned to the right to move the driver side mirror, it moved both the drivers side mirror and passenger side mirror. But when turned to the left, it moved just the passenger side mirror. Is this...

Hi My daughter's car is an X reg Ibiza 1.4s which I bought her about 4 months ago. The problem is she had a elctrical engine fault warning light on. I brought it to a local garage, they run a diagnostic test found a fault and reset. The problem had been when she would start the car...

Where do the wires plug onto the terminals on the rear screen? Mine doesn't clear when i put the rear demister on, but the mirrors heat up fine, so i havent checked the fuse yet. Plus it's been raining for 2 days, so i'm not standing outside trying to sort anything yet. Had a look earlier and...

Hi Guys, I need some help and advice I think. Ultimately, it's prob gonna end up with a mechanic, but i'd like to troubleshoot it first and if I can fix it - Awesome! Basically, I've noticed my steering right and left has been a bit funny. When I turn right, espec at lower speeds, the steering...

Guys, My X plate 1.6 Leon recently had the gearbox replaced.It has been running fine up til tonight when going round a corner, the locks started jumping open then locked, the dash lit up like a christmas tree and all electrics were flickering on and off including the engine jumping on and...

The other day my indicators started playing up. If Im using them they sometimes flash a few times then stop flashing - stock remains in place. If I flick them off then on it does the same again. Sometimes works fine. I was thinking bad relay? Then...today I stopped my car at the shop it was...
