Being a complete and utter uneducated modification virgin, I am toying with the idea of having my LCD remapped but want to know what the long term affects would be? I use my car for business and clock up 20-30k a year and need it to last a minimum of 3-4 years. Basically will it shag the running...

Got an 04 Altea in Silver, 1.6 Reference, 04 plate July build. 7500 miles? Wondered if anyone knows what its worth? Paid 9k for it 3 months ago.

ok i know putting spacers on the back of the mk2 helps stability and cornering, and i have heard people say that the turn in to corners is no longer as good when this has been done so if for example i was to put 15mm spacers on the rear, and maybe say 5mm at the front, would this keep the...
