Lets start with some background information. I took ownership of my lovely ovni Ibiza Cupra on the 20/07/2006. I had a week of trouble free driving loving ever min of it. Then on the 30/07/2006 (day before my holiday to thailand) horror struck my clutch pedal had snapped its weld. Well I wasnt...

Hi all, does anyone know of any typical faults that cause something on the car to rattle when you hit bumps quite hard? Could it be the tailgate lock? It sounds like its coming from the back seat area...

HI, We have a tdi sport 06 plate 2 months old and it seems really really smokey, there is a lot of smoke even when under 1/4 throttle. Now I had the FR TDi and that was NEVER this bad... Any ideas? Thanks Ronnie

Hi everyone... I'm looking for a remap for my Leon, but I have the following requirements: - Must be "Reversible" - i.e. i need some kind of control box or PC link + Software. - I dont need any security bits - Must be upgradeable in future for when I upgrade fuel system/turbo etc...

Hi all hows things. I have just been out with my mate in his ford cougar which has been lowerd. Anyway he went round a roundabout fairly fast and he could get the back end to step out and it was fairly good as if it was rear wheel drive. Could this be done in the leon. Have people tried this and...

Lo all, Question for all you Cupra R owners here. Over the weekend i was doing some spirited driving when i had to apply quite a bit of heft to the brakes (not fulll pressure mind) as some on coming traffic had decided that overtaking with me heading towards them would be a bad idea...

the rear end pokes up, the front looks ace, low enough just so the arch is nearly level with top of tyre but rear is funny it sticks a further 35mm into the air make the rear look unsuited. anyway was thinking of just fitting lowering spring 35 mm 1.9tdi ones but already bit lower so will...

This morning from cold for about a mile my car was very dead low down before the turbo kicked in but ok when the turbo kicked .. This was happening for about a mile and then was ok.... I had read in the elsa manuals of a fault that can happen with the PD130/150. If there is a lot of rain...

I went to tax my car this time last week (2nd May) and handed over my documents to be told i needed an MOT. I had it in my head the car was registered 02/07/03 but instead it was 02/05/03:censored: so obviously she never gave me the car tax. It has risen from £90.75 to £104.50 aswell:censored...

Tried to smarten up the rear end... Got the LHD rear cluster to match two white lenses instead of it being odd, and added the HUGE facelift rear wiper. I expected the rear wiper to be an aero one actually, but its a huge cover and then a standard wiper blade. Just waiting on the new spaced...

Hi all when i first got my 54 reg FR ibiza tdi it seemed to pull nicely in 6th & 5th would take me to 120mph. i at one point had 135mph which was great. Since then all i have had done is a rear silencer, induction kit and 17" alloys fitted. now i find when im on the motorway i can get to...

Hi all, I have just bought three lovely new wiper arms and blades for my LCR but have only managed to fit two of them! The Fabia rear one was a doddle, as was the MK IV golf drivers side, but I need to trim the last 10~15mm of the passenger Aero blade to make it fit, (as mentioned in many...

Well its a sad day to say goodbye to the cupra!:cry: Its a company car and I've done the 100K on it in 2 years. I've got to admit that its been absolutely flawless. Through the back roads of Norfolk, blasting up and down the motorways and generally trying to run over city yuppie scum in...

Hi, Took a ref.sport out for a spin over the weekend, and found the rear end feels really light compared to my 03 Leon TDiSE. There's a couple of 'favourite' motorway roundabouts locally, so it seemed rude not to hoof it round a few times :whistle: With a bit of enthusiastic decel on...

Unfortunately my Elsie is due to go back soon and finance dictates that I will return to a non - Seat company car. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of what the state of the car should be to be returned without penalty, the lease company quotes that it is to be inspected using BVRLA...

Dear All, Just broke the end cap covering the rear wiper jet housing. I was wondering as the rear wiper also needs to be replaced. Would you recommended installing the Skoda rear wiper or would it be cheaper just replacing the wiper and buying the cap from Seat. Regards.

To see the LCR out with a bang it would be nice for SEAT to maybe offer a limited edition run of 2000 cars, along similar lines to the 25th anniversaryh golf. Maybe up the BHP, special recaro seats, short shift gear box, carbon fibre interior trim or something, differnt wheels, slightly lower...

Anyone got any suggestions???? Suffering with wot feels like a bit of vibration thought the front end, and the steering sometimes feels like im forcing it to turn when i first move or from being stopped......Also noticed it being a bit lumpy and drifting at bit whilst driving. Fluid levels...

Really struggling with the car and its :censored: me off. I've basically no top end speed, really struggling to get above 60, and at lower speeds really having to work it. Could a blowing exhaust manifold cause this? At the moment I have a Powerflow jobby on, but thinking of getting rid of that.
