Hi all! I've recently replaced a OSR calliper on my leon for being siezed. I replaced the rear discs and pads also! However since I noticed the handbrake did not feel great and had a bit too much travel. Seems to be binding (working harder) on the OSR. I checked the adjustment mechanism to...

Hey guys. I've been having problems with my handbrake recently, there's a lot of play in it, and it doesn't hold anymore unless I pull it waaaaaaay up. I know the cause of this, but would rather keep it to myself :redface: The cable needs tightening I believe, can anyone tell me how to do this?

Hi guys, is £158 a good price for replacing the 2 handbrake cables on my 02 leon cupra? If not is it easy to do myself, or a pain in the ass and better to let the local dealer fit???

Hello I have a 2004 Leon Cupra R 225. The handbrake light has started flashing randomly with 3 beeps. It seems to do it when i go around a bend or touch the brakes. I have checked the brake fluid and it seems ok! I also have a problem with the clutch. When you 1st push the clutch...

I've noticed that the button on my handbrake has begun to rattle. Is there an easy DIY fix or is it a trip to the stealers?

...welll not the whole leaver as such, just the chrome button on the end (LCR). It's only started this and it's annoying the hell out of me, the only eay to stop it is to drive with a finger resting on the button the whole time. Anyone else had this issue and found a fix?
