Hi there I've been trawling through some old threads but can't get a definitive answer. I would like to get a nice leather cover for my 2002 Leon Cupra to replace the crappy black plastic thing & I've seen a nice Golf Mk4 Anniversary GTi leather cover for sale. Would this fit ? :confused...

Ok, so I had a small fire in my engine bay after the earth lead to the ignition coil got worn through and shorted. Now after offending wiring has been replaced, my handbrake warning light will not go out. Any guesses??

As the title! Searches have unveiled one part number which is incorrect. Cheers

Hi folks Got a 1.2 Ibiza 05 plate and this morning pulled handbrake on and it wouldn't engage, there was tension in the handle but it wouldn't click on, so had to do a lot of jumping from brake to accelerator, didn't want to ride clutch for 15 mins, got to work and pulled it up really high...

Hi folks. I've noticed in the last few weeks that my handbrake has started binding. Seems to be worse when cold or handbrake has been on for a while i.e. overnight. Reversing from stationary I can hear them rubbing, but moving forward I hear a small clunk. The car was recently serviced...

when i first got the ibiza the handbrake light used to light up rarely (big 'P' at the bottom as its a 2000 model) i tried moving the steering wheel about as i was told it may be a loose connection behind there and that doesn't do anything! can anyone tell me where i need to look to find the...

Drove my car for about half a mile this morning and noticed it was struggling a bit as if the handbrake was still on, pulled over and the rear passenger side brake was glowing red. Any other occurrences of this in cold weather? Or is it likely that I've suddenly got a seized calliper...

I couldn't get my handbrake light to turn off yesterday and it was accompanied by a very loud, very annoying beeping when I tried to drive off. The noise went off after 5 mins, but came back on when I drove off again after stopping at some traffic lights. Following advice elsewhere in this...

Hi Guys Got another problem with my MK4 1.2. On top of the Air con breaking a seal, and my electric window breaking, now the handbrake light is staying when I pull off. Now from my limited knowledge, I know it could be a number of things, worn brake pads, low brake fluid, faulty...

I've tried searching for this but can't find any threads. Does anyone else have an annoying problem with the bin/cup holder that sits behind the handbrake always coming out? Is there a way to stop it? I'm sure I saw an arm-rest kit that fit into that hole for the Ibiza but can't find it on...

Parked last night on the drive, WITH the handbrake on as always, and find that it has some how rolled slowly into the garage door! Luckily no serious damage, just what looks like a stone chip on the front of my bumper, but still not pleased! Lucky it didnt go slightly more to the left and scrape...
