fix

Accepting that the leaking door seals issue is an already much-discussed 'old chestnut', however, was this problem ever a recall/warranty issue? In other words, is SEAT UK obliged to bear the costs (ie parts & labour) to remedy what is clearly a design-fault if my car is showing signs that...

I managed to repair my pedal box, without major hassel. Line it up and drill a hole through the bracket and the bulkhead. Use a big washer and some silicone to stop it ripping a hole in your bulkhead and stop any water ingress. Been fine so far.

Well, i was just setting off at a delicate 10mph(to warm the car up properly) and i hear an almighty twang. stopped instantly to check it out as i thought i had rolled over a metal rod or something had whacked the car on the underside. no clues lying around so i carried on gingerly and heard...

Just gave the Arosa it's yearly service and at last had time to fix the door checkstrap mounting on the A post. No more clonking when opening the door, marvellous. I've taken some photos and may do a " How Too" later if anyone is interested.

Ok, I refuse to believe that these damn things can't be fixed. Mine popped out for the last time today, and with it came what looks to be a spring. It's a cylindrical thing with a role of copper around the outside which is springy. Nothing is snapped or broken, so how the hell to I put it...

Ever had your electric window decide it doesnt want to play ball? Will go up no problem but wont go down, sometimes goes down sometimes wont budge? This is probably a cheap fix to the problem! First of all remove the plastic trim from the doorcard so you can remove your switch.. Next...

Hi, I just bought a new Leon fr and was wondering if anyone managed to get the Ipod track info displayed on the MFD3 RNS510 display? Also is there a way to get my dvds to play while the car is moving?
