This happened to me, and I've seen a couple other people posting asking how to fix it. There are a couple of threads with the solution but none as an actual "guide" so anyway... The Dummies guide to fixing a boot which doesn't lock...

Brakes were scraping, so took them into be replaced. I also mentioned that my rear interior lights (above rear doors) had stopped working. I was then told to that it was to do with motion senors/alarm or something and they are £100 pound each. Although the alarm still works. Sorry but...

First of all hello to all. Never posted on here before. SWMBO has a 2000 W reg. Ibiza 1.4 with a cable clutch. The pedal box had gradually cracked and bent - enough for the clutch to stop working properly. To be honest, I didn't fancy removing the box etc and fitting a new one. It's a...

If the metal loop on your key remote has broken and you don't want to buy a new one, heres how I fixed mine... After trying several methods to re-fix the loop, I just drilled a 3mm hole through the lower left corner (looking from button side). If you take the remote apart you will notice...

Bl00dy Chavs.. I came back to my car to find that some knob had pulled my mirror all the way forward and so broke it. I'm sure the ***** did it on purpose as there wasn't any damage which would indicate the mirror had been hit by a car. I hope whoever did it keels over and dies! yesterday I...

I've had a problem with the Aura stereo in my Mk 2 Toledo for several months. The buttons would not respond and the radio would start beeping and default to one particular station or to the CD player. I rang several dealers about an exchange and finally was quoted £270 + vat for an exchange...

I remember seeing a thread about a loose wire, that was causing this rattle. I was just wondering if anyone had found that this IS the cause of the rattle for all of us? As I would like to take the car in and tell them exactly what the problem is and how to fix it.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it seems comprehensive. I'm going to try it this weekend, probably end up at the stealers buying new clips! www.seat-ibiza-mk4.co.uk/ibiza_boot_trim_removal.htm
